Devil Oh Devil Makes the Festival Rounds

Sorrowful and suffering, a young woman accepts the Devil’s hand in marriage, and is taken to Hell to be wed. Seeing that she has disappeared, her brother travels beneath the Earth to stop the wedding, defeat the Devil, and bring his sister home. Marking the second collaboration between The Holy Gasp and Alla Kinda, this animated musical reveals the depths we’re willing to journey to rescue the ones we love.
