''A Son of Satan'' is a 1924 race film directed, written, produced and distributed by Oscar Micheaux.〔http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139621/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm#cast〕 The film followed the misadventures of a man who accepted a bet to spend a night in a haunted house.〔(“Overview: A Son of Satan,” AllMovie )〕 Micheaux shot the film in The Bronx, New York and Roanoke, Virginia.〔(“Progressive Silent Film List: Son of Satan,” SilentEra.com )〕 ''A Son of Satan'' ran into distribution problems when state censorship boards rejected the film based on its contents. New York censors objected to the film’s depiction of violence, particularly against women and animals, while Virginia censors complained the film’s references to miscegenation would “prove offensive to Southern ladies.” 〔(“Movie Censorship and American Culture” by Francis G.
