Selección Terror: Las Discípulas de Satán
· 1974

"Las discípulas de Satán" by Adam Surray is a Spanish-language horror tale set in an abandoned desert town. The narrative opens with Nicholas Duncan confronted by a mysterious woman in black revealing a Satanic symbol on her belt buckle, claiming to be Satan's emissary. The story then shifts to Mike Hackman, a lone wanderer entering the ghost town Rules City, where he encounters Duncan and John Sherman—two criminals hiding from police after murdering young actress Diana Forrest near Los Angeles. When Hackman threatens to expose them, Duncan and Sherman brutally attack him with a shovel. The criminals then proceed to a cemetery atop a nearby hill, where they have been systematically grave-robbing for valuables from the dead, justifying their desecration by claiming the deceased have no use for earthly possessions in the afterlife. The narrative builds toward supernatural consequence, suggesting the disturbed dead of Rules City may exact vengeance on these profaners.
