No less than eight sequels have been spawned by<br />
this low-budget 1988 flick—sequels with tacky<br />
subtitles like Dance with the Devil <strong>and</strong> The Devil’s<br />
Mistress. Taken as a group, this series is chock full<br />
<strong>of</strong> evil Satanists, human sacrifices, <strong>and</strong> sexy heroines<br />
(or sexy witches, as the case may be).<br />
Witchery<br />
Following her starring role in The Exorcist, Linda<br />
Blair was able to l<strong>and</strong> a number <strong>of</strong> parts in less<br />
illustrious devil movies, including Witchery. The<br />
plot <strong>of</strong> this 1988 film revolves around a couple<br />

the local witch <strong>and</strong> her Satanic rites.<br />

beautiful ladies become the Witches <strong>of</strong> Eastwick.<br />
However, when they discover he has a nasty disposition<br />

each <strong>of</strong> them into coming back to him. The three<br />
women then conspire to do him in, <strong>and</strong> win out by<br />
overpowering him with his own magic.<br />
Wormwood<br />
Due to the influential fiction <strong>of</strong> C. S. Lewis,<br />
Wormwood (meaning “bitterness”) is familiar as<br />
the name <strong>of</strong> an apprentice devil. Wormwood was,<br />
however, originally the designation for an angel<br />
that is described in Revelation 8:10–11. This<br />
account <strong>of</strong> the end <strong>of</strong> the world tells how John <strong>of</strong><br />
Patmos first had visions <strong>of</strong> the impending disaster.<br />
To begin with, God is seen on his throne in heaven
