"The Sign of Satan" is a most atypical episode of "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" as it has to do with the occult and supernatural. It's also unusual because it's the first episode of any of Hitchcock's shows that featured British actor Christopher Lee. As for the story, it's by Robert Bloch who wrote quite a few episodes as well as "Psycho".
When the story begins, some Hollywood folks are watching a film made in Vienna and it's of a Satanic mass and starring Karl Jorla (Lee). The problem is that they think it's from a movie but it's actually from a Satanic ceremony. And, they insist that Jorla is a great actor...but he ain't acting in the film! What's next? See the episode and find out for yourself.
This is a good but not great episode of the series...worth seeing but also not quite as weird and exciting as you might expect considering it's Lee and Bloch.
