This is a huge stretch.
The only thing that the names share is that they start with an H and end with a Y. There are other coincidences in Anton LaVey's life that are incredible.
Now he's reaching.
He's obviously losing his touch in every way, and it doesn't end there.
In 1984, when Anton was 54 years old, he entered into a relationship with a 17-year-old girl named Blanche Barton, who'd written him a letter from college.
The two of them immediately got into sex magic, BDSM, and quite a bit of piss, all while Anton was still married to Diane.
When you're old, that's the last thing that goes.
Nope.
Well, after Diane left, Blanche Barton stuck around and eventually wrote Anton LaVey's official biography.
It is absolutely filled with easily disproven lies.
But Barton still repeats these lies in every interview she gives as if they were gospel truth, including an interview I saw in the special features on the Devil's Reign Blu-ray disc.
She's to this day, man.
But for all his former infamy, Anton LaVey simply faded into the background of American culture in the last decades of his life.
Even though he died in 1997, his last notable appearance in the public eye had been 10 years earlier after the arrest of serial killer Richard Ramirez, who was, of course, a committed theistic Satanist.
Yeah.
Let's call it bespoke Satanism.
Yeah.
Boutique.
Yeah.
See, before Ramirez had killed anyone, he'd driven to San Francisco so he could meet and talk with Anton LaVey.
