In the making of Fantasia the Ukrainian animator Vladimir Tytla brought the Chernobog to life. Classic horror-film star Bela Lugosi performed live-action reference sequences for the Chernobog, but Tytla was not completely satisfied and re-shot much of the acting himself. The name of Chernabog was not used specifically in the film; however, original sketches and production work from the film refer to the demon as Chernobog, or simply Black God, Satan, or Devil. From the 1983 book on "Fantasia", in the chapter discussing "Night on Bald Mountain" the author does make reference to the character as being named Chernobog by Tytla.
