Nick Bougas

Nicholas Arthur Bougas (born March 16, 1955) is an American documentary filmmaker and illustrator. Most of his films focused on Hollywood scandal and crime; his films include the 1989 mondo film Death Scenes. He directed two sequels to Death Scenes, as well as a profile of Satanist Anton LaVey in 1993, Speak of the Devil. He also directed a film focusing on the transgender artist Goddess Bunny, titled The Goddess Bunny. He was an early murderabilia collector, collecting art from murderers, and corresponded with several notorious criminals, including Charles Manson. Bougas was a contributing editor and artist to the 1988 pro-Charles Manson book The Manson File, and directed a 1992 film on Manson. As an illustrator, Bougas worked with writer and publisher Jim Goad on his magazine Answer Me!, and contributed illustrations to the magazines Brutarian, Malefact, The Black Flame, and Exit. In the late 1990s, Bougas created Celebrities... At Their Worst!, a two volume audio collection of celebrity blunders, and featured on LaVey's 1995 studio album Satan Takes a Holiday as a vocalist. As a cartoonist, he used the pen name A. Wyatt Mann to produce racist and antisemitic cartoons for the white supremacist newspaper WAR in the 1980s and 1990s, though his authorship was not confirmed until the 2010s. These cartoons are widely used as memes by white supremacists. Under the same pseudonym, Bougas illustrated Michael A. Hoffman II's Holocaust denial comic Tales of the Holohoax: A Journal of Satire.
