In 1966, a man shaved his head, declared the dawn of the “Age of Satan,” and founded a religion that would shock America. This is the story of Anton LaVey — the controversial founder of the Church of Satan, author of The Satanic Bible, and one of the most polarizing religious figures of the 20th century. Was he a genuine occultist… or a master showman? A dangerous ideologue… or a misunderstood philosopher? From the infamous Black House in San Francisco to media appearances that stunned the nation, we explore the rise of modern Satanism, the truth behind the rituals, the myths that followed him, and the legacy he left behind.
