Certainly inspired (and motivated) by the success of The Omen, Fear No Evil takes a different look at the antichrist… it’s the high school years. A fun film for the directorial debut of Frank LaLoggia, starring Stefan Arngrim in the role of Andrew. And, dammit, he’s not going to take it anymore. You see, Andrew’s feelings of isolation and not-so-freshness are not him going through the change into manhood. Andrew isn’t going because he’s the one sending them there. This class of uncontrollable hellions are all going to Hell. Oh, things are not good for the Alexandria High School Class of 1981. Not his traditional look, but all the better to possess you with, my dear. Prince of Darkness features Carpenter regulars Donald Pleasence and Victor Wong as well as the antichrist in green-goo form. The concept for the film came from Carpenter’s own studies on theoretical physics and atomic theory and contemplating what would happen if some of those concepts were combined with an ultimate evil.
That’s a fact, as post-production for the film was done at the Disney Studios in Burbank. Besides featuring Alice Cooper, Prince of Darkness may go down as the most horrific film ever produced on a Disney lot.

John Carpenter’s offering to antichrist films is his memorable movie Prince of Darkness. But as the film’s fun, twist ending shows us, it’s not really that easy to say no to The Devil.

In this particular tale, Satan wants Kevin to breed with his half-sister to create the true antichrist, but Kevin refuses, citing his right to free will. And we come to find out that ambitious young lawyer Kevin Lomax (played by Keanu Reeves) is his son. Pacino is legendarily fiery as The Wicked One (dig his great speech below). “Better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven.” This line from 17th century poet John Milton’s iconic work Paradise Lost is directly quoted in The Devil’s Advocate to Al Pacino’s character, conveniently named John Milton.
