This is a vlog I'm doing once a month to just keep people up on things I'm doing and to mention anything interesting and play with video editing, format and setups for preparation of more serious work. Just published the second episode. Nothing pretentious, but better than a webcam and dirty socks laying around in the background like I've seen some folks doing on YouTube pretending to be something they're not.
I am enjoying these and am already looking forward to the next.
Top notch, Reverend Slaughter!
HS!

If you try to love everyone you only lessen your feelings for those who deserve your love. Repressed hatred can lead to many physical and emotional aliments. By learning to release your hatred towards those who deserve it, you cleanse yourself of these malignant emotions and need not take your pent-up hatred out on your loved ones.” Anton Szandor LaVey, The Satanic Bible

"We are superior, and are superior not by ethnic means, but by the superior force of the will -- the imagination, the creativity, and the very essence of resourcefulness, and survival, that is the heart and the very soul of the Satanist." ~Anton LaVey

Again, I saw this video on the Undercroft before noticing it here on LttD.
In any event, I enjoyed it...especially the way you straightened out that student asking stupid questions!
I hope there will be many, many more of these!
HS!

Thanks for the comments! If all goes according to plan, the next episode will be out at the beginning of March. The real strength of these is that I'm able to experiment with video while actually doing something productive. It comes off better than the standard YouTube webcam "vlog", but I can allow for rough edges and not obsess over it too much.

"I believe in Death to false Metal". That was funny. HS!

That was GREAT! I love how you are using your experimenting toward a productive use. This is precisely what my project is about. I would like to contact you concerning what I am doing and perhaps get your permission to advertise some of your content as well. Wait a minute..... here comes a PM now

I like the new episode!
And good advice on not posting pictures of oneself with his firearms online.

Thanks everyone.
For anyone interested, those actively involved in the project are trying to keep this list annotated with what we have in our libraries. If you see something NOT marked with an asterisk or octothorpe (#), and you have it in your library, let us know!
If you're interested in being a contributor of information on multiple titles (part of the job is trolling the internet for info), let us know that as well.

That's really strange. It's using Google's Blogger, so I would assume that it should be pretty accessible. I do have a "dynamic" page theme that may be causing issues. Are you using the latest version of Firefox?
I still can't get the site to load. I'm running Firefox and have cookies enabled. Any ideas?
I've got Firefox, with cookies on a Mac and no problems loading it, so it might be at a lower level.
Can you do a ping to the server, i.e.:
ping compleatwitch.blogspot.com
and get a reply? It might be that there is some kind of filter at work, or that your ISP has no route to this site. I know it sounds ridiculous in this day and age, but a few years back two of the large telcos had a spat and suddenly the routes from Scandinavia to the US through one ISP stopped working.

Episode 4 is out, go full screen!
Out now! Our newest episode discussing things related to the Las Escrituras Satánicas Kickstarter campaign and The Satanic Scriptures. A few “behind the scenes” items and more. The Kickstarter campaign and all the work involved in that delayed the production of the more causal vlog series, but we’re back and the production is evolving more and more, and my humor is devolving along with it.

Another great instalment Rev. Slaughter! I particularly enjoyed learning the secret behind your resourceful and ingenious spinning book promo "graphic" for Las Escrituras Satánicas. Splendid stuff!

Stay Down Here EP005 - Girls in Graves, Book Cartels, Fenris Wolf, Dirty Reader
Now in 1080p! Shot inside my office, it’s visually the most “vlog-like” episode yet, but I don’t take the easy way out... lots of additional graphics and effects. The transition videos are a little longer than normal, but the longest one tells you exactly what point to skip to if you don’t want to watch the saucy sword-swallower.
Feel free to comment and make constructive critiques and (realistic) suggestions.
In the basement of the Black House, Anton Szandor LaVey created the total environment that he felt most at ease in: a seedy dive bar populated by the down and out. But those who populated it were literally his creations, as they were all meticulously crafted artificial humanoids. In the back wall he had a backlit sign reading “Den of Iniquity”, and this new shirt is based on the lettering of that sign. This faux-souvenir lists the address of the former home of the Church of Satan beneath the logo. A subtle tribute to a man who created his own world.

Great job, Kevin! I like how your cat was impatiently waiting for you to finish unpacking those boxes so he could get into them.
I'll have to watch this on the 1080 big screen tonight! I realize that most modern computer monitors have well exceeded that resolution but the format of your show makes me want to watch it on the couch like a late night TV show.
