I'm not Robert W., and I am trying to find out which film made the first overt reference.
I would agree that the number has no real magical significance, but it seems to have been generally viewed as bad luck long before 1976, and I'm interested in any cinematic connection.
(What you said about the Kenneth Anger film was interesting, and I thank you--but I have no way to research that further.)
There's suppose to be a gypsy scam involving 666, and gypsies were stereotyped in a number of old horror films.
Could there be anything there?
I even remember an old WWII era movie short having to do with the devil and Hitler (the devil was played by a fairly prominent actor, was waiting for Hitler, and was a little upset at the way he was running the war "up there"), but I don't think there was any reference to this "unholy" number.
Anyway, I do appreciate all comments here.
Thank you.
