Satanis: The Devil's Mass is a 1970 American documentary film about Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan. It was directed and produced by Ray Laurent[1] and released by Something Weird Video on 17 June 2003. Filmed in San Francisco, California, the film is a compilation of ritual footage and interviews with LaVey's family, neighbors, and church members, as well as Christian priests and Mormon missionaries. Display ads at theater showings read: "Satanis is the most pertinent, and perhaps the most shocking film of our time. But it’s definitely not a movie for everyone. If you choose not to see it, we will understand.”[citation needed]
