Sinopsys:

Marny Bannister is a scientist; her face is disfigured by a big angioma that makes her appear as ugly and unpleasant in all her body.

She is scorned by her younger and nicer sisters, she is a sort of Cinderella sealed by a dramatic fate. Her loneliness works as a catalyst on her negative drives. She is intelligent and wilful so she reacts against the position and the terrible aspect, mother nature has  chosen for her . She studies and improves the formula of dr. Masopust, a gloomy scientist devoted  to science and to negromancy.  From  this formula, she gets a luminous beam that regenerates the dead cells transforming her into a wonderful and buxom creature with a sensual face so beautiful to lessen her two sisters’ dolly beauty.

This change catalyzes the grudge she has repressed for ages turning it into a feeling of revenge against the world that refused her so cruelly

So it comes Satanik on the way of the terror ,  with no moral and sexual  scruples ,just looking to the goal of taking a revenge on those who had humbled her.

The two sisters are the first to pay their  price; she kills her sister fighting with her on the same field, with a sadistic satisfaction; she steals her the boyfriend, the same man that had  mocked her for the ungraceful and ugly appearance, then she takes revenge on the other sister, slashing her for ever

It comes out then a windmill  adventures where the  beauty and sexual freedom are mixed with monstrous creatures. The Faust’s myth takes its own shape with all its horror, but soon Satanik realizes that she is fated so that she can’t love the  handsome and young Daniel Bennet ,that will  be killed by her own hand, so, once again she’ll be alone  towards the darkness.

I due my passion for horror stories and horror films to “ Satanik “  a work that contributed a lot to the development  of my artistic imagery .

I dedicate this work of mine to its author Max Bunker alias Luciano Secchi with all my great admiration.
