    Viewers are wrong if they believe black-and-white films can't be scary. A case in point is 1929's Faust. Based on the story and folktale of the same name, the tale of Faust and Mephistopheles is the origin of the phrase "Faustian bargain." The film concerns a bet between God and the devil concerning Doctor Faust, a scholar fascinated by all their i...

    While it might be strange seeing Disney making a movie about devilish deals, Something Wicked This Way Comes is a film that definitely shows the dark side of the mouse. Based on the book of the same name by Ray Bradbury, who also wrote the script, a sleepy little village soon learns that all magic comes at a price as a sinister circus rolls into to...

    There's no denying that Stephen King took a heavy amount of inspiration from Ray Bradbury's work, but the film adaptation of Needful Things is certainly a more over-the-top tale of fiendish deals done in the dead of night. Instead of a twisted carnival, however, King relies on an all too convenient antique store. When the town of Castle Rock starts...

    Though he's not technically the devil, the Djinn from Wishmaster definitely has some demonic qualities, especially with his method of wish-fulfillment. As with all wishes that follow the trope, the Djinn's are twisted versions of his victim's true desires all bought for the price of their souls. And with every soul he consumes, the more powerful he...

    Next to Faust, one of the most classic examples of a deal with the devil concerns Mr. Dorian Gray and his infamous portrait. Based on the book by Oscar Wilde, Dorian Gray is a gothic horror movie and morality taleof a handsome youth who seeks the pleasures and temptations of the world with the help of the charming Lord Henry Wotton. Dorian's hedoni...

    Sometimes the devil grants lusts and pleasures of the world, other times he grants superpowers. While the effects are as cheesy as can be, there's no denying that there is indeed a certain love for Spawn. Though perhaps not nearly as wild as the comics that inspired it, the film takes a dive into the underworld that no viewer should forget.

    Despite his acclaim, Robert Englund arguably gave a better performanceas the Phantom than he did as Freddy. Adding a bloody splash of slasher to the role, Englund presents a more tortured and bloodthirsty approach to the famous masked musician beneath the Paris Opera House. In this version, the Phantom is Erik Dessler, a gifted musician who sells h...

    A more psychedelic take on the Phantom of the Opera mythos, but one that borrows more elements from Faust than any other adaptation of Gaston Leroux's novel. In this rock opera, the Phantom is an Elton-John-like songwriter who has his music stolen from a satanic music producer and is forced to finish a Faustian opera at the opening of his club, The...

    While it didn't exactly need it to make it a great horror movie, Ready Or Not features a bloody demonic deal in the background while a new bride engages in a deadly game of hide and seek with her husband's murderous millionaire clan. In a mix of Faust and You're Next, she must survive till dawn or else become a part of an evil satanic ritual. The f...

    Al Pachino might not be the most subtle incarnation of Satan in film, but he's easily one of the most entertaining. In this '90s psychological thriller, a southern lawyer finds himself in the midst of a hellish plot when the mysterious John Milton offers him a position at his prestigious New York City law firm. The further Kevin Lomax falls into Mi...

  3. May 5, 2019 · Whether it be Al Pacino chewing the scenery as John Milton in The Devils Advocate or Orson Welles’ final performance in The Transformers: The Movie, these are the best movies that really ...

    • The Exorcist. "The Exorcist" is a classic, and were it not included here, I wouldn't fault readers for suspecting that I myself had been possessed by the devil.
    • The Conjuring. James Wan is a master. Working on a larger scale in the genre he finds most comforting, the shock maestro reinvented both himself and the horror genre with "The Conjuring."
    • The Wailing. "The Wailing" is one of the scariest movies ever made. Na Hong-jin's operatic, dense, and thoroughly frightening sixth feature is almost impossible to describe.
    • Rosemary's Baby. "Rosemary's Baby" is a classic. Director Roman Polanski subverted the entire horror genre with his star-studded and deliciously restrained tale of a woman, Rosemary (Mia Farrow), who is pregnant with the Antichrist.
    • 955 votes. The Exorcist. Regarded as one of the scariest films ever made, the best horror films of all time, and a genuine work of art, The Exorcist personified pure evil for multiple generations and continues to be one of the most graphic, vile, masochistic depictions of Satan ever created.
    • 720 votes. The Omen. In horror, children are often terrifying enough, seemingly always portrayed with a sense of unpredictability and mischief, but The Omen decided to turn that dial of terror up to eleven and have a child turn out to be the Antichrist himself.
    • 123 votes. The Wailing. The Wailing is a 2016 South Korean supernatural horror film directed by Na Hong-jin. Suspicion leads to hysteria when rural villagers link a series of brutal murders to the arrival of a mysterious stranger.
    • 649 votes. Rosemary's Baby. A masterclass on how to deliver a pagan and satanic story in a way that is so unnerving and unsettling that it physically hurts to watch, Rosemary's Baby is a once-in-a-lifetime work of art that defined the Devil in the 60s.
  4. A nineteenth-century New Hampshire farmer makes a pact with Satan for economic success, then enlists famed orator Daniel Webster to extract him from his contract. Director William Dieterle Stars Edward Arnold Walter Huston Jane Darwell. NOTES: An wonderful film adaptation of the titular story.

  5. As long as there has been an ongoing battle between good and evil in the world, so has there been a wicked force in the form of Satan and his minions. A common trope in the horror genre is the iconic deal with the devil, where one benefits at the cost of their immortal soul.
