Happy Satanic Halloween!

"Devil worshippers who will gather in Brisbane for Halloween have promised to hold a series of "shock rituals", outraging church leaders and prompting police to step up patrols of cemeteries.

Two thoughts.

Firstly, the founder of the Church of Satan, Anton LaVey, condemned the killing or harming of animals for ritual or magical purposes. He's been dead for nine years, but the church has not changed that policy, nor is it likely to.

Secondly, wouldn't Halloween be the worst night of the year for trying to shock people?
