Built in 1852, Le Cabaret de L'Enfer (The Cabaret of Hell) was a famous club in Paris, known for it’s hellish theme and creepy decor. Every guest would be greeted by a doorman dressed as the Devil, and were served endless booze and fine cuisine by waiters dressed in devil suits.

After the Cabaret was taken over by a supermarket in the 1950s, strange things would occur in and around the building. Passers-by felt uneasy, groans seemed to escape from it’s walls and, most notably, French serial killer Guy Georges was captured inside the Monoprix where the club once stood. There are many who believe that Le Cabaret de L’Enfer, a favourite of Devil Worshippers, opened a portal to hell that can never be shut again.
