Calling all Art Buffs

So I was watching this show on National Geographic. It was called the Devil's Bible. I'm not going to explain what it was about because it was a crappy piece that seems to be status quo for NatGeo these days. One thing I absolutely loved about it though, is the montage of dark artwork depicting demon possessions in a literal manner. I like the more macabre, "evil" and romantic part of Christian folklore. Does anybody know where I can find more art like this? It was mostly drawings, some were paintings. If I had to guess, I would say it's 17th century Mannerism. Some was more Medieval, but the good shit seemed to be a bit more contemporary than medieval, like I said Mannerism or maybe Renaissance.

Thank you in advance

I didn't know if Hieronymus Bosch would be what your looking for but he was ahead of his time.

Some more famous dark artist would be:
Albrecht Durer
Francisco Goya

I'm interested in what this thread puts out since I'm bad at remembering artist names.
