I rented this movie from ITunes.
It's a documentary on the Satanic Panic of the 80's and 90's and how it was started by a book called Michelle Remembers. The book was listed as non-fiction but turned out to be a compete hoax. I remember reading it when it came out and wondering how could people fall for this. There were plenty of red flags, but still people were sucked in. Eventually some reporters effectively debunked it after the panic died down.
I highly recommend it.
Jimmy.

While there are no doubt some unsavoury violent people who claim to be the followers of Satan or enjoy the associated rigmarole, the whole Satanic Child Abuse Panic has long since been documented debunked. Ultimately it can be out down to the familiar credulity of believers, aided and stoked by some dubious 'recovered memories' and sensationalist reporting.

Surely he would party like it was 666? That date I thought of first, but Prince didn't sing about it. It was also the Dark Ages back then, so it might not have been a lot of fun.

What is clear is that while he was in the doorway of death, he was terrified. He seemed fearful and perhaps regretful. This may have lead some to conclude his regret was a form of repentance. But that is conjecture. For the more thoughtful atheist or non believer death is surely a nothing, and it is foolish to be afraid of nothing.

I do not believe that the YouTube blogger was implying that Anton LaVey was repentant; Just that he may have had glimpse of his final destination.

It's more a message about credulity...
