RIOT AT BLACK MAGIC CONCERT
Frenzied yobs rioted to the sound of Satan's music last night. The mayhem, in which two people died, flared in The Hellfire Club. The venue, famous for its so-called 'alternative' bands, was playing host to the Punkabilly band Karloff. .
Renowned for their songs about the return of the devil and his triumph over the world, Karloff's spokesman said, 'The audience just got out of hand during the 'Howl at the Moon' set. The deaths were unfortunate but I blame the organisers. Security was appalling.'
This paper condemns all such acts that promote the word of Satan among our young. We call upon our readers to boycott their records and concerts. If we deprive them of their places to preach we can prevent Satanism spreading to our own children.
1 The riot was an unfortunate, but not sinister, event. The paper is owned by an evangelist called Edward Richards. Mr Richards owns a very profitable business empire and is head of the Cleansing Flame evangelical group. He is not a man to be crossed and can call upon a variety of businesses (including a satellite television channel) to aide his retribution.
The Cleansing Flame has a para-military wing, the Witchfynders. Richards is Witchfynder General and leads them in their cause to destroy evil. However, they will not accept that the Cthulhu Mythos exists as anything other than a form of Satanism.
They believe that they are the only true saviours and that no other organisation has the right to carry the fight. Any alliance with the Witchfynders will be strained at the least as they have a tendency to act before thinking. All traces of Satan must be burnt to cinders, cleansing the Earth of evil.
2 The Karloff's are using voodoo to further their career, swelling their audiences through manipulation and voodoo frenzy. They do not understand the powers they meddle with and cannot fully control them. A riot and the deaths were inevitable.
3 The Karloff's worship Nyarlathotep. Using mass hypnotism they enthrall the audience. Bit by bit they are building a reserve of psychic energy which is saved for Walpurgis Night. During this massive open air concert the audience will be so frenzied that during the final act, Howl at the Moon, blood will flow and the Crawling Chaos will descend to earth.
