A body modification fanatic dubbed a “real life demon” has revealed the satanic ritual he carries out each year to ensure he’s protected on Halloween.
Victor Hugo Peralta regularly hits the headlines due to his controversial look, where he has the Devil’s “666” carved into his scalp, alongside £400 metal horns implanted into his skull.
The 54-year-old, along with his wife, Gabriela, 53, also holds the Guinness World Record title for “most body modifications” (married couple), which they’ve had for over 10 years.

Now, they’ve revealed the “sacred ritual” that they carry out each year to ensure that no bad energies come their way on Halloween night.
“The meeting is private; only a select group of 13 demons from different parts of the planet come,” the tattoo artist and body suspender told What’s The Jam.
“It’s a ritual where we offer our blood to loved ones who rest on another astral plane.
“It involves body suspension and sacrificing ourselves.
“We contact our ancestors, scare away bad energies and strengthen our spirits.
“It’s [just before] Halloween night, because we then perceive the spirits walking with us.”
The couple, from Argentina, partake in the event each year, but they decided to host at their home for 2024.
However, it wasn’t cheap.
The decorations, clothes and food amounted to at least $1,000 (USD) (£770.
But he says that it’s “sentimental” and “blood value is more important”.
He previously revealed another passion of his; suspending from hooks pierced into his skin.
Victor and Gabriela regularly travel around the world performing their act.
Last year, the ritual was carried out alongside a body suspension show for the general public.
He said: “It was a representation of a bloody ritual suitable for all audiences.
“People were impressed and fascinated at the same time.
“In general, we get various reactions; whether good, sympathetic, sometimes repulsive and fear – even hatred.
“This doesn’t affect us and only makes us stronger.”
Victor, who received his first tattoo aged 13, claims that even his animals got involved this time around.
He added: “We have 140 animals at home, one of them is a little black dog.
“He was amazed by the ritual and came to ask me to pick him up.
“Then, I carried him in my arms while suspended, so he could act like he was flying.
“This year was unique and private.
“It’s not a children’s party – it’s a satanic ritual.”
