What are some things in popular culture that have a potrayal/mention of, or reference to, a devil/satan like figure?
Movies, TV Shows, Books, Music…?
eg. Bedazzled, The Devil’s Advocate, Good Omens by Terry Pratchett, Ghost Whisperer…
Or maybe some more subtle or not so ‘devilish’, like maybe Star Wars even…
I can’t think of a song but there’s got to be some!
Please help :)

What’s that Elvis song that goes “you’re the devil in disguise”?
Witchy Woman – Santana
Hotel California – The Eagles (I always kind of figured the hotel was hell and the person who says “you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave” was Satan).
@ gooch How is P & G’s logo like 666?? I don’t get it….?
Angel Heart was an interesting movie.
Hell’s Kitchen – that head chef is SO mean!
@megan I haven’t seen that one in a long time. It has Mickey Rourke before he turned into a freak of nature.
@tinefaery It was fun to watch twice. First for the ending and then again to watch knowing how it ends. Mickey Rourke actually used to be attractive. Way back when. Waaaaaaaaaaay, back.
In films there’s ‘Pans Labyrinth’..... ‘Pan’ is another word for Devil
(@stratman37, Ramsay has to be cruel to be kind, besides some of the people on that show are really annoying)
Ah sorry the image of Pan, the hooves and faun appearance was used by early christians to represent the devil, much like he is represented today.
Another appearance of the devil is Lou in Guitar Hero III
Quantum leap. Remember the bad leapers?
“The Witches of Eastwick” where Jack Nicholson plays the devil. Also “Damn Yankees”.
@ snoopy in the early 80’s I recall their logo being stars arranged in the 666 pattern. It was a big stink for them. Maybe they changed the logo after all the bad press.
@gooch Hmmm. Interesting. Thanks!
‘I chase the Devil A.k.a Ironshirt’ I don’t know who did the original but I have a cover by Madness, I also have ‘Devil in Disguise’ by Elvis Presley and ‘The Devil Is In The Details’ by Boards of Canada. That’s the music I have that directly has ‘Devil’ in the name. As for anything else I can not really give any more info. about.
This is old school but how about Brokenheartsville by Joe Nichols? Obscure enough for you?
“Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”..........
