Some rich people just have so much time and money on their hands they don't know what to do with it all. The Hellfire Club was made up of those sorts of people. In the 18th century some of the richest men in Britain and Ireland decided to fill their nights with activities organized under the guise of a club whose name says it all: the Hellfire Club.

There were a number of "chapters" of the club that sprang up throughout the 1700s, and there are a few crucial points that need to be made. They were definitely not part of an official sort of organization, they were incredibly secretive, and they were born from an upper class that had been enraptured by the Enlightenment Philosophy. What does that mean? It means they were testing the boundaries of society and good taste, turning their back on what they had been taught about morals, and essentially seeing what they could get away with.

Over the centuries, the legend of the Hellfire Club has become a pop culture staple, and their legacy has informed the ways cults and secret societies have been depicted in literature and on screen. But what's the truth? Here's what really went on behind the closed doors of the Hellfire Club.
