Number of the Beast

Devil's numerical mark

Number of the Beast is 666, a figure from the Book of Revelation associated with the Antichrist or Satan.

The phrase appears in heavy metal music, horror films, and occult references.

It's sometimes invoked humorously when the number appears coincidentally: My total came to $6.66—number of the beast.
