Creepy Kingdom caught up with Andy Howl, tattoo artist, publisher of The Devil’s Reign, and ordained priest in the Church of Satan, to talk about his upcoming Devil’s Night event at The Orpheum in Tampa.Part ritual. Part concert. All chaos.
CK: For those new to your world, who is Andy Howl?
Andy: I own Howl Tattoo in Fort Myers. It actually started as an art gallery and music venue before becoming a traditional tattoo shop, right next to a sex-toy store, so I’m in good company.
In 2015, I launched The Devil’s Reign art-book series with Peter Gilmore of the Church of Satan. Each volume centers on a theme, such as Witches, Giant Monsters, and the upcoming Tyrants, which explores male power and villainy.
That collaboration pulled me deeper into the Church of Satan, where I eventually became a priest. Peter and Peggy Gilmore are like family to me now.
CK: What can people expect on Devil’s Night?
Andy: This is the biggest show I’ve ever produced. I open with my band Burned at the Stake, black-metal doom with a Theremin intro that melts into total darkness. Then Pontifex, a female-fronted black-metal act from Orlando, who just won Florida’s Wacken Battle of the Bands.
And then the resurrection, Electric Hellfire Club, performing live for the first time since 2016.
We’ll close the night with a full satanic mass, fetish-factory dancers, dominatrix performers, ritual symbolism, and genuine Church of Satan ceremony. It’s provocative, theatrical, and absolutely adult.
“There will be nudity,” Andy grins. “It’s entertainment, but it’s also ritual.”
CK: Sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime ritual. How can fans join?
Andy: It happens on October 30 at The Orpheum in Tampa, Devil’s Night. Tickets are $25 on Eventbrite. The next night is Halloween at The Castle, so this kicks off the entire weekend.
I’ll be tattooing the next day at Blue Devil Tattoo in Ybor, and there’ll be limited-edition merch you can only get at the show. Capacity’s around 500, so if you’re coming, grab your ticket now.
A public satanic mass, fetish show, and metal lineup is not something you see every day,” Andy says. “But that’s exactly why it should exist.”
Location: The Orpheum, Tampa, FL
Date: October 30 | Doors 7 PM | 18+ Only
