Last Podcast On The Left · Episode 669: Anton LaVey Part IV - Old Wizards Die Hard · 19 Jun 2026 podcast

They liked kids and they got caught up in all of this shit.

And their lives were ruined.

Hundreds of people had their lives ruined because McMartin's just one.

It's one of dozens that happened all across the United States for 15 years, at least.

Most often, the media sided with the prosecutors, and the Church of Satan was often singled out as a main culprit.

The news show 2020 made things even worse in 1985, when they accused Anton LaVey's Satanic Bible of being responsible for America's supposed rash of child daycare ritual abuses.

If she was involved in this story, then I'd say that Barbara Walters was wrong.

Baba Wawa.

Now, you'd think that Anton LaVey would have had something to say about all this.

But judging from his reaction, LaVey was all but done with being the boogeyman by 1985.

And it's at this point in the story that Anton's daughter, Zena, recipient of the world's first satanic baptism, returns.

Not Zina LeVay, Zina Shrek.

She changed her name many years ago.

All right.

Now, Zena was just 22 years old when 2020 ran the story maligning the Church of Satan.

But when she called her father, Anton, and asked him, what's your media strategy for this?

He had nothing.

As far as he was concerned, he didn't have anything to worry about.

And he certainly wasn't going to go out in the public to say anything.

Yeah, he just rotted on the vine.
