You know you're looking at Hollywood Satanism when you see Satanism portrayed as a Religion of Evil with bizarre, often disgusting rituals parodying Christian services and a particular fondness for Human Sacrifice and/or sex orgies. Common hobbies of the Hollywood Satanist include sacrificing people's cats, slipping backmasked messages into popular music to corrupt the youth, and engaging in carefully calculated world-domination schemes that have been in the works since the beginning of time. (These usually involve breeding The Antichrist — extra points if he's Aryan!) Hollywood Satanism actually goes back to Medieval Europe, when it was believed that witches made a Deal with the Devil to gain their power and engaged in rituals intended to mock Christianity just for the heck of it. Basically, it was thought that Satanism was essentially reverse Christianity, and the idea stuck. Rosemary's Baby gave it a shot in the arm in The '60s, and during The '70s through The '90s, the Satanic Panic that many of the tropes associated with it became ingrained in the public consciousness (a Sub-Trope of the broader Witch Hunt). Individual Satanists are often presented as criminals, unless they're outwardly respectable politicians or public figures, or the whole town, and of course, a single ritual performed by drunk teens will always make the Big Guy himself (or one of his minions) show up to raise hell. Real Life Satanism can be divided into two categories. One of them, sometimes called "LaVeyan Satanism" after one of its more famous figures, doesn't consider Satan a physical entity and instead refers to him as a symbol for freedom to follow your own desires and/or for fighting against tyranny (i.e., God). The other one, which is called "Theistic Satanism", worships or reveres Satan as a deity. Both of them, generally speaking, view Christian morality as self-destructive for both individuals and society. It's a religion whose followers, generally speaking, are no more or less likely to be evil than the followers of any other religion, though their sense of what constitutes right and wrong is likely to veer far from the mainstream. In reality, it is more akin to the Pagan religions of old, their primary belief being that Satan and the demons are a corruption of the old Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and Greco-Roman gods. And no, human sacrifice is not a widely accepted practice in most branches (though symbolic sacrifices might be — but that isn't so different from the Christian Communion, which is itself a symbolic sacrifice of the body and blood of Jesus). Of course, if the work of fiction portrays its Satanists as part of a Secret Circle of Secrets, then the above objections can arguably be Hand Waved: if such a secret society existed, then we wouldn't know about it... Note that just because a Black Mass or any other such Satanic activity is held in secret does not make it an example of this trope. Real Life Satanists have every reason not to boast about their religion, especially if they happen to be an influential politician or a movie star, even if personally they are some of the nicest people you'd ever encounter, unless they wish to have their careers flushed down the toilet and receive dirty looks from passers-by and media until the end of time. Compare Religion of Evil, Always Chaotic Evil. Also compare Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters. Also compare Hollywood Voodoo, as Hollywood isn't always clear on the difference. Examples |

The leader of the other band, Jake, points out that most of the time, Satanic imagery and lyrics in music are just part of the act. Not so with The Scream. | |

The Dragonfall campaign of Shadowrun Returns features the cult Glory escaped from, which was dedicated to the worship of the 'Horned Man', an aspect of the Adversary mentor spirit. Normally the spirit in question simply represents opposition to the established order and isn't inherently evil, but in the toxic form that this cult follows, it amounts to the ugliest form of Satan worship, and the cult leader Harrow and his followers are shown happily indulging in human sacrifice, brain washing and orgies. | |

Parodied in Metalocalypse, when Murderface joins the Church of Satan and goes to Black Mass. They come across as rather timid, cowardly people that can't stand up for themselves. Then played straight in The Stinger, when the Church of Satan actually does summon a demon (although considering DETHKLOK was there, it could've unknowingly been their doing). | |

In Conspiracies, one of the conventioneers had been brainwashed into accusing her father of molestation and Satanism, by a shrink her mother hired to ensure she'd get custody in the divorce settlement. Years later, she's plagued by nightmares of terrible encounters with Hollywood Satanism that never happened. The fact that genuine evil forces are exacerbating these baseless dreams for their own purposes only makes it worse. | |

James Mitchell has done this gimmick a few times. He arrived in ECW in late 1999 as the Sinister Minister, a name he would reuse in MLW in 2003. He arrived in TNA in 2002 as "Father" James Mitchell, the leader of the New Church, and described himself as a Satanist. Earlier in his career, he had an abbreviated run in SMW as Collector of the Strange Daryl Van Horne, which was the name used by Satan in The Witches of Eastwick. | |

The Blood Raiders in EVE Online are a heretical splinter sect of the mainstream Amarrian religion (itself a sort of Space Catholicism at its most militant and medieval, including supporting slavery) that operates as a composite of Satanic Panic myths and real-life LaVeyan Satanism. From the former, they get the blood rituals, the Human Sacrifice, and the breeding camps to ensure a steady supply of blood and sacrificial victims, and from the latter, they get a pseudo-Nietzschean ideology that proclaims that certain people are destined for greatness and that others exist to serve them. | |

On Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, all witches worship Satan (also referred to as the Dark Lord). On their sixteenth birthday, witches have a "dark baptism" in which they sign their names into the Dark Lord's Book of the Beast. Because of their service to the Dark Lord, witches do not go to hell. Another ritual, the Feast of Feasts, includes a randomly selected witch being sacrificed and eaten. Inverted pentagram are used liberally throughout the series. They do pay lip service to the beliefs of real life Satanism when Sabrina questions pledging herself to the personification of evil and the High Priest tells her that the Dark Lord is actually the personification of free will. Subsequent episodes make it clear that Satan is a very real figure and the Church of the Night is actually far more restrictive of its members' free will than Father Blackwood indicated. | |

Witchery: As is fitting for a mod focused around allowing the player to play the part of the Witch Classic, the mod allows the player to get up to some good old-fashioned demon-summoning, which involves Human Sacrifice and dark bargains.

Hail Satan?: This is discussed at length, and an obvious source of the hatred the Satanists face. Though they do not even worship Satan (as it's a symbolic thing for them) people's idea of Satanists as sacrificing or raping children due to the Satanic Panic along with general Christian animus colors their perception heavily. | |

In the The X-Files episode "Die Hand Die Verletzt", the agents encountered a group of "real" Satanists who were accused of being the Hollywood Satanist type. That they were all school teachers didn't help. It ends up being a parodic subversion, in that the Satanists are far from the Hollywood Satanism stereotype; they never do human sacrifices or molest children or anything like what the moral panic suggests; they're just normal, everyday people who happen to worship Satan, and are pretty half-hearted about it at that (they're lapsed Satanists, it transpires). Unfortunately, one of their now-teenage kids has gotten some hazy childhood memories confused with the sensationalist stuff she's seen in the media, thus prompting a hysterical panic. Even more unfortunately, someone does a ritual and manages to actually summon the Devil, who is less than pleased with their lack of faith. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Evil cults of Demons and Devils (yes, they are different things in this context) have existed throughout the history of the game, and they almost always behave like this (Devil worshippers even more so, as Devils are actual analogues to demons as portrayed in Christian Demonology). These depictions were toned down significantly following the Satanic Panic, but have since cropped up again as villains in campaigns: Devil worshippers who perform grisly rituals involving human sacrifice to bring forth an evil from beyond. Generally subverted with Warlocks that strike a pact with Fiends: As per 5th Edition, Warlocks don't need to believe in the cause of their patrons or worship them. The relationship between a Warlock and a Devil is purely practical, after all, and it's perfectly possible for a Warlock to work directly against the interests of their patron (as long as they're clever about it). Fifth edition introduced the Oath of Conquest archetype for Paladins. These Paladins are obsessed with order and do not tolerate dissent, seeking to crush chaos and establish a lawful rule, by any means necessary. This means they are not only usually Lawful aligned, but they often stray into being Evil as well. The lore describes a radical faction of Conquest Paladins called Hell Knights who swear their allegiance to the Lawful Evil plane of Baator (The cosmology's equivalent to Hell). They are denounced as sacrilegious in-universe and serve as an unexpected foil to the traditional archetype of the pious, priestly Paladin. |

Nearly every sect in Vampire: The Masquerade has a "kill on sight" order for infernalists, as swearing eternal devotion to a demon also means serving as a recruiter for ways of deprivation and sin, which is just another form of servitude to the Sabbat and the Anarchs, and a threat to stability and the Masquerade to the Camarilla. The Baali, however, walk the line on this - while their arts are infernal in nature and they spread sin and atrocity merrily, many of them doing it to keep their dark masters (which could be demons or could be monsters that predate existence) from waking up and making everything much worse. | |

My Immortal is probably the most confusing case of Hollywood Stanism... er, Satanism that ever existed. The characters worship Satan (Satan, not Voldemort, whose nickname in high school was Satan), but we never really see them do anything beyond getting high and yelling at people. One implication is that they worship Satan by insulting preps and getting high on "crak". | |

Batman: Averted in Batman (Grant Morrison), which shows Dr. Hurt performing a Satanic ritual to summon Barbatos (actually one of Darkseid's weapons). All the components for a satanic ritual are present (nude woman, black robes, star of Baphomet, etc.). The only Hollywood aspect is when Dr. Hurt eats the heart of a bat, but then again, Hurt is portrayed as pretty extreme even by satanic standards. | |

The Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness in WWE in 1999. The group officially debuted on the January 11, 1999 WWF Raw is War, as the Undertaker, with manager Paul Bearer and the Acolytes standing by, cut into Dennis Knight's chest, causing "blood" to come out, and renamed him "Mideon." Another time, the group abducted Ken Shamrock's "sister" Ryan Shamrock and strapped her to the Undertaker's symbol in a sort-of crucifixion. | |

Ms. Tree: The comic had a story in the DC period where Tree investigated a murdered girl who joined a satanic church and was found dead with a inverted pentagram on her body. She was predisposed to suspect the church of course, but her findings with a freelance reporter who met up with her about this case showed her how many allegations about satanists causing trouble are often overblown. In the end, Tree discovered the girl's murderer was actually an insane Christian fanatic who was posing as a local anti-Satanist activist to cover-up his crimes. | |

In Good Omens, the demon Crowley identifies two kinds of Satanist. Most are ordinary people who only partake in Satanism because they were raised in the faith and don't think about religion much except when they go to Black Mass, akin to your ordinary less-than-devout Christian. But others, like the ones you sometimes hear about on the news, give even Crowley the creeps. | |

Crops up, as you'd imagine, more than a few times in both versions of The World of Darkness: Mage: The Ascension has the Nephandi, fallen mages who want to corrupt/annihilate all of reality in the name of their dark masters. The Infernalists are one faction of them, whose tendencies most often involve tempting others into wickedness and selling their souls to dark entities. Nearly every sect in Vampire: The Masquerade has a "kill on sight" order for infernalists, as swearing eternal devotion to a demon also means serving as a recruiter for ways of deprivation and sin, which is just another form of servitude to the Sabbat and the Anarchs, and a threat to stability and the Masquerade to the Camarilla. The Baali, however, walk the line on this - while their arts are infernal in nature and they spread sin and atrocity merrily, many of them doing it to keep their dark masters (which could be demons or could be monsters that predate existence) from waking up and making everything much worse. Belial's Brood from Vampire: The Requiem plays credit to LaVeyan Satanism while still invoking a number of Religion of Evil tropes. A number of members of the Brood don't worship Satan as an actual entity, but regard him as an ideological construct that represents the Beast that screams in the souls of all vampires. However, as the Beast is a representation of all that's savage and terrible about the vampiric condition and grows stronger the more detached one becomes from Humanity, they do the usual black mass/virgin sacrifice/dark pact stuff in an effort to reach true divinity. |

Subverted on Moral Orel. Coach Stopframe worships Satan, believing him to be some powerful being that can help him win over Clay's heart and help the school's team. When he joins actual satanists, they turn out to be a bunch of sloppy hedonists, and are utterly horrified that Stopframe brought Orel to be a Virgin Sacrifice (they said to bring a virgin, they meant an adult virgin to join their orgy) and don't bother Orel at all (in fact, he gets along rather well with them). Coach Stopframe does wind up disgusted with them, but it's more because they're uncouth and unattractive than any religious reason. | |

Lucifer (2016): The focus of the episode "#TeamLucifer". Lucifer himself finds Satanism a disgusting and insulting perversion of what he stands for. He doesn't want people worshiping him — that's God's schtick. When he barges into a Satanic ritual and starts complaining, the coven like what he's saying and start chanting his words, causing Lucifer to complain that they're missing the whole point of being a rebel. In the end, the coven is portrayed as just a group of harmless kids. When someone starts murdering them in "human sacrifices", Lucifer is genuinely angry, as he regards them as misguided idiots, not evildoers who deserved to be punished, especially not in his name. The High Priest admits that while he agrees with Satanism's beliefs about free will and honesty, he's grown tired of the "weirdos" who take it too seriously. He happily complies with Lucifer and Detective Decker's investigation into the first murder, as he'd tried to talk the victim out of joining the coven. Oh, and the whole Satanic obsession with goats? Turns out it's a centuries-old prank by Lucifer's brother Amenadiel, and Lucifer still hasn't figured out where it came from. In real life it's speculated to come from the Greek Pan, portrayed as a horned, goat-legged wild man, whose image was used by Christians for Satan. |

3×3 Eyes has Pai captured by a cult of self-proclaimed Satanists in Wales, of all things, looking for a human sacrifice. The Grand Priest downright tells her about their worship of Satan, though not all the members wear hoods, capes and goat masks (only the head priest is in full regalia). However, since Pai is actually an immortal Triclop and her Wu Yakumo soon comes to her rescue, they are harmless villains at most, and not taken very seriously, as they're just Muggles compared to Pai and Yakumo's usual opponents. | |

Warhammer: Used in Warhammer 40,000: it's mentioned that many cultists don't actually know what they're doing, merely enacting rituals from what they've seen in scary holos and whatever sounds cool, and thus totally fail to summon daemons. On occasion, however, some of them succeed... if they're very unlucky. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: Part of 1st Edition's Early-Installment Weirdness is that "Demons" are summoned into a ritual pentagram. Later editions have "Daemons" and use an octagram, an in-universe symbol of Chaos. |

Used in Warhammer 40,000: it's mentioned that many cultists don't actually know what they're doing, merely enacting rituals from what they've seen in scary holos and whatever sounds cool, and thus totally fail to summon daemons. On occasion, however, some of them succeed... if they're very unlucky. | |

In I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle, the trouble starts when a bunch of Hollywood Satanist outlaw bikers are attacked and killed by non-religious rival bikers during a demon-summoning ritual, freeing the demon to cause havoc. | |

Defied by Criminal Minds; in one episode that dealt with a murder that looked like Hollywood Satanism, the agents specify that Satanic ritual murder hasn't taken place to their knowledge (that's not to say crazy people didn't associate Satan with their crimes, but that there was no proven instance of organized human sacrifice). In the end, the "satanists" in the town are mostly just edgy punk kids who don't hurt anyone, and the killer was one of the popular kids who pinned the murder on the satanists as a ploy to get away with it. | |

Inspector Morse. In "The Day of the Devil", a rapist who is a committed satanist escapes from prison. In this case satanism is just something the criminal uses to justify his sociopathic view of the world. He is a true believer though, which eventually causes his downfall. | |

The main antagonists of Hack-O-Lantern are every Satanism stereotype imaginable, in that they are dark wizards who will murder anybody who gets in their way of corrupting the children. They also try to do the "Devil Horn" symbol, but due to errors in the filmmaking process, end up doing "I Love You" in American Sign Language. | |

In The New Order: Last Days of Europe, there's a secret, extremely dystopian path for the Russian wasteland in which genuine Satanists can emerge. If Sergei Taboritsky, an Ax-Crazy fascist obsessed with restoring the Romanov dynasty under the long-lost (and actually long-dead) heir to the throne Alexei, manages to reunify Russia, his rule quickly ends in such disaster that Russia collapses back into a collection of warlord states even worse than before. One of those warlord states, the Brotherhood of Cain, is descended from a group of Imperial Shturmoviki who, upon the revelation that Taboritsky secretly had Jewish blood, decided that God Himself was an enemy of Russia and pledged themselves to Satan. Their leader Anatoly Motsny (in real life a former Hero of the Soviet Union who was stripped of his honors after murdering his five-year-old son Gennady) changes his name to Abbadon, and he and his lieutenants dress in cloaks and masks straight out of a horror movie. While none of the post-Taboritsky warlord states can reunify Russia without cheating, there is content◊ buried in the files in case a player decides to cheat anyway, revealing that, should the Brotherhood of Cain reunify Russia, they turn it into the Kingdom of the Hellborn and engage in a massive campaign of Human Sacrifice writ large across an entire nation. | |

The main villains in Drive Angry are this. Oddly enough, though, the actual minion of Satan, who is there to take the protagonist back to Hell, isn't really shown to be all that bad in this movie, and says that Satan, who is more God's prison-warden than His opponent, does not approve of the cult. | |

The Gulf Cartel in Eternal Golden Dawn is led by real-life occultist and Satanist Adolfo de Jesús Costanzo, who became infamous for his kidnappings and extremely brutal rituals to grant himself supposed powers. Having grown his real-life criminal gang/cult Los Narcosatánicos to control the entire cartel, he's doesn't seem any less deranged than in real life, and is also enabled to do his rituals on a much larger scale without having to fear any repercussions. | |

Inverted in the creepypasta story "The Satanist with Christian Friends", wherein the young protagonist is a Satanist and sees it as just as normal as being Christian or Jewish or Buddhist or whatever—but the reason his family has to keep moving every so often is that the Moral Guardians tend to find out and flip out with a vengeance. The story itself culminates with a "good Christian" trying to make the narrator (who is in grade school) repent of Satanism by any means possible—including invoking the Salem Witch Trials. | |

This is the plot of the Fighting Fantasy gamebook House Of Hell, with the protagonist becoming stranded near an old mansion belonging to the Earl Of Drumer (and it's implied that he was deliberately lured there by being given false directions in the town). While the Earl puts on the image of a gracious host, he's in fact the leader of a local Satanic cult, which includes high-ranking political and social members of the nearby town, and they kidnap wayward travellers and out-of-towners to sacrifice to their dark masters. However, the Earl is not the Big Bad, it's his butler Franklin, who is in reality a Hell Demon in disguise | |

Belial's Brood from Vampire: The Requiem plays credit to LaVeyan Satanism while still invoking a number of Religion of Evil tropes. A number of members of the Brood don't worship Satan as an actual entity, but regard him as an ideological construct that represents the Beast that screams in the souls of all vampires. However, as the Beast is a representation of all that's savage and terrible about the vampiric condition and grows stronger the more detached one becomes from Humanity, they do the usual black mass/virgin sacrifice/dark pact stuff in an effort to reach true divinity. | |
