I believe that the footage explains a side that isn't seen in retrospect by those who are either beginning to learn about the subject or fans who weren't alive at the time to experience it first hand (obviously neither of these statements explain you). I've read Lords of Chaos and it's a phenomenally rich book, loaded with well researched history and information. That being said, to claim a visual account of something is entirely different than what the book offers, and that was the purpose of posting the documentary. Plus, there are dozens of better excuses for calling me a media whore. You’re suggesting that I’m a ‘media whore’ because I posted the documentary?

It’s a media orgy of self promotion and the commodification of fear. Read the book Lords of Chaos to get a glimpse of at least some of the real reasons and meaning behind what’s going on here. The book is pretty good. The video is a joke by comparison. Instead, why not watch a cheap Vincent Price movie to scare yourself. Well, I guess the video isn’t entirely worthless: it can always serve as a bad example of media coverage – the whores that they are. Kind of like this site’s decision to run this subject.
