Halloween month, so my first BÖC find. In John Carpenter's 1987 movie "Prince of Darkness" what looks like the BÖC symbol shows up on somebody's arm supposedly as the mark of a beast. I read somewhere that the mark really isn't BÖC-related, but you be the judge. It happens to show up at the 55 second mark in the movie's official trailer at: www.imdb.com/video/vi2116856089/Click To Enlarge |

Sure looks like it. Never been a horror fan so I've never seen the movie but I would think there would be some kind of connection.

I saw the film years ago (not one of JC best) & remember the BOC/Chaos/Kronos symbol being extensively used. Surely Carpenter was aware of the BOC connection? Also if I remember rightly the film also featured Alice Cooper.

I'm sure I saw this years ago also. Wasn't really memorable, especially for a John Carpenter flick. (Wife and I have a tradition of watching his original Halloween ever year on Halloween. Goes back to when we first started dating the night I introduced her to some of my "wilder" friends at a party. Don't ask.)
Looked it up - yes, Alice Cooper played a character called "Street Schizo".
Well I thought I found something new, but nope, already covered elsewhere. Oh well.... Looks like the symbol on the arm thing was already covered (briefly) on the hotrails site: www.hotrails.co.uk/bocfaq/faq_05.htm#05_07_01"In John Carpenter's 1987 movie, "Prince of Darkness", there is a scene with the BOC symbol. It is used as a satanic symbol and appears on the flesh of a possessed person."
It was also mentioned on the old BOC website. Here's a better picture from some reddit discussion. Not sure why the Radios Appear graphic appears.
Maybe an idea for Buck's first tattoo? I heard he doesn't have any.

Why not, I guess. If you're going for something creepy, the BOC logo is a go-to.
