Anton Szandor LaVey (11 April 1930 � 29 October 1997), was the founder and High Priest of the Church of Satan, author of The Satanic Bible, and creator of the religion known as Satanism.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, LaVey spent most of his life in San Francisco, California. He pursued a variety of occupations before Walpurgisnacht, 30 April 1966, when he ritualistically shaved his head and founded the Church of Satan. LaVey remained High Priest until his death.

An eclectic individual, he was fond of music, painting, antique automobiles, firearms, and animals (particularly the big cats). He met with shock rocker Marilyn Manson before his death. In that meeting, he mentions that he had a relationship to Marilyn Monroe, but this remains to be proven. He is survived by his consort, Blanche Barton, son Xerxes, ex-wife Diane LaVey, daughters Karla and Zeena Schreck, and grandson Stanton Zaharoff LaVey.
