On Halloween night, the 20-year anniversary of the passing of Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey, Lethal Amounts held a very special one-night event at the historic Madame Siam in the heart of Hollywood to honor the legacy and chronicle the influence that the so-called Black Pope has had on American culture. On display were rare and never-before-seen photographs, writings, personal items and artifacts from LaVey's Black House in San Francisco, including his beloved organ. Filmmaker and Hollywood Babylon author Kenneth Anger appeared for a talk, and industrial musician Boyd Rice and LaVey's daughter Karla held a Q&A upstairs at magic-themed bar Black Rabbit Rose. The night included a live performance by Twin Temple and a midnight ritual performed by Steven Leyba and Jeanelle Mastema.
