Synopsis for "The Demon That Devoured Hollywood!"
Jason Roland is a successful horror actor who relied heavily on his incredibly life-like monster make-up, delivered by an emissary of the devil. He made use of the emissary's make-up talents, after having accepted the deal with a handshake, but scoffed at the small emissary and his request for Jason's soul and eventually kicked him out. However, when one day he tries to remove the "make-up" he finds out that it can't be removed and he must therefore remain trapped in the skin of the monster he had been portraying in the movie.
