The Merry Frolics of Satan
A gleefully surreal early-cinema romp where Satan torments two travelers with impossible tricks and hellish spectacle, blending horror imagery with vaudeville-style comedy and visual wonder.
Two travellers are tormented by Satan from inn to inn and eventually experience a buggy ride through the heavens courtesy of the Devil before he takes one of them down to Hell and roasts him on a spit.
