Ah, Lucifer. Satan. The Devil. Ronald Reagen. You have been given so many names throughout history.
They played "The Prophecy" last night on Syfy, one of my favorite movies because Christopher Walken as the Angel Gabriel is awesome cranked up to eleven.
As the film approaches its climax, the main characters are each visited by Lucifer, and what struck me is how much I liked the representation. Simultaneously restrained and bestial; no horns, no tail, no fire, no brimstone, but listening to him talk still made me a smidge uncomfortable (even though I am not in any form a believer). Moving seamlessly from threats involving mouthfuls of poop to singsong references to eviscerated children, he's awfully dark. (I especially like a sequence later in the movie, when mouth dripping with blood, he beckons the characters to come with him, hissing "i love you more than jesus!")
This is why the Prophecy has long been among my favorite movies, and why its representation of lucifer is my favorite across media.
What is your favorite media representation of Good'ol Satan?
