Poll Suggestion: Hail Satan

Like hell he didn’t! What do you think this was supposed to mean? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070047/... Besides, the devil’s name was Legend in that film — the most common name shouted out by possessed people in exorcisms. The devil trying to make you think it is many entities when it is only one.

The girl angel in The Last Temptation Of Christ.
In that film, the devil appears first as a snake, then as a pillar of fire, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095497/... , and then as the girl angel https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095497/... .

I have a feeling that the choice of a name for the poll is a bit controversial. 

I thought it was bit funny that back when IMDb had character profiles, the character number for Satan was nm00000666.

Darn it, what I’m thinking! The devil has been played in many films if you just look outside the horror genre!

Crossroads. Named “Scratch” Played by Robert Judd. He is the man with the goatee beard and wearing a black flat broad rimmed hat and who is laughing his ass off in this clip of the guitar dual between the devil’s representative Jack Butler (played by Steve Vai), and Eugene Martone (Played by Ralph Macchio but guitar played by Ry Cooder). Eugene is playing to save his soul and the soul of his friend, Willie Brown (Played by Joe Seneca), from the devil. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CqdL36V...
Here is his picture: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090888/...


- In “Damn Yankees” the devil is named “Mr. Applegate” and was played by Ray Winston.


- in “Bedazzled” (1967) Peter Cook played the devil then named “George Spiggott” and in the

2000 remake, Elizabeth Hurley played the role as simply as “The Devil”.


- Bill Cosby played “Barney Satan”, AKA, the devil, in “ The Devil And Devlin”.


- “Oh, God, You Devil” George Burns played both roles.

- Heaven Can Wait (1943) (there is more than one film with this title), “His Excellency” (AKA, Satan) is played by Laird Cregar. I love his lines “Sometimes it looks as if the whole world is coming to Hell.” and
“I hope you will not consider me inhospitable if I say, "Sorry, Mr. Van Cleve, but we don't cater to your class of people here. Please make your reservations somewhere else.””

I've changed the title to Speak of The Devil due to controversy of "hail" 

Suggested edits:

The Exorcist (1973) still tops charts as the scariest movie of all time about a soul being possessed by the forces of darkness. But, the Devil himself didn't actually appear in that movie. Since then many movies try to capture demonic activity but actual physical portrayals of Satan himself are something of a rarity.

No real person has ever met the Devil but every writer, director and producer may have a different idea of how to bring the Lord of Darkness to life. There are many options - an animal, child, little old lady... Here is a list of movies that captured the Devil himself in flesh and bones. Which one do you think the best movie depiction of the Devil?

You should link The Exorcist in the intro to its page.

And I don't think that having the devil in a movie is that rare...may want to rethink that part of your intro...
