According to the Goetia, Adrammelech is the chancellor of Hell and president of the senate, as well as supervisor of Satan's wardrobe. As befits an important politician, Adrammelech is always well-dressed, and favours an extravagant peacock's tail. He is vain.

In Greek mythology, the satyr Marsyas claimed he could play the flute as well as the god Apollo could play the lyre. Though at first they were equal, Apollo then added his voice to the lyre's music, and so won. He flayed Marsyas alive, and nailed his skin to a pine tree.

Okay, last doubler for the #31DaysOfHorror #recommendations for you @horror fans.
First up, The Gate. A classic ‘80s horror that is fairly child-friendly, but also nightmare fuel.
Second, Head Count, which is a teen horror that keeps things creepy and tense, instead of outright horrifying, but really deserves more eyes on it.

Another doubler for #31DaysOfHorror (apologies for my forgetfulness).
#recommendations for today are Evilspeak (Clint Howard finds a dark way to get revenge in this enjoyable horror) and Empire Of The Ants (a giant ant movie , a Mr BIG movie no less, with numerous flawed special effects that I LOVE).
Enjoy @horror fans.
