The bull shaped human cooker was featured in the movie "Immortals". I am listening to a new history podcast "History on Fire", highly recommend. The narrator described a Persian torture/execution method. They place the victim covered in honey in a wooden box allowing the arms and legs to stick out. They left the victim outside and let the bugs eat him alive. The torture lasted for two weeks.This isn't new but I can't remember from where I read/saw it. Oh well.
Those folks are working with the Prince of Darkness, the Evil One.
