The Possessed Painting
Deep within the halls of the prestigious New York City art museum, the painting sat, silently watching as visitors filed past, their eyes transfixed by its mesmerizing presence. The portrait, which depicted a hauntingly beautiful woman with piercing green eyes, had been a part of the museum's collection for decades, but something about it had always seemed off to the staff. It was as if the painting held a sinister energy that couldn't be explained.

The Mysterious Forest Creature
Long ago and far away, in a small village nestled deep in the forest, there was a legend of a mysterious creature that roamed the woods at night. The villagers spoke in hushed tones about the strange noises they heard and the eerie feeling they got whenever they ventured into the forest after dark. No one had ever seen the creature, but they all knew it was real. Some believed it was a ghost, while others thought it was a demon. But one thing was certain - it was something not of this world.

Invocation of My Demon Brother
Kenneth Anger is older than God, but I doubt that he'd appreciate the comparison. The vanguard filmmaker, whose themes explore the occult, sadomasochistic, and homoerotic, has been linked by various "degrees of separation" (and often directly), to everyone from L. Ron Hubbard to a Manson Family murderer. An early disciple of Anton LaVey, he was and presumably still is a Crowleyite, living out the Law of Thelema. He's been around the block, so to speak, in a skeleton-chauffered hearse with hellfire streaming from its tailpipe.
