Ryro Posted October 28, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted October 28, 2022 I hope this doesn't upset anyone, but, uhh, there's this "similarity" between beezlebub and facing Roma!? Designs are sure to repeat amongst cultures... when it comes to Satan sheets🤪 Sure seems to be one real horny SOB... wait a second. Who is Satan's mom anyways??? Maybe the greatest Hollywood horned satanic beasts: and plenty of different horned types from antiquity:  I feel like I'm missing more great satanic looking examples. Can you help me??  12 2 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
