WITCHCRAFT THROUGH THE AGES (1922)

1968's Haxan: Witchcraft Through The Ages answers the questions - what if Disney were to dramatize the Malleus Maleficorum? Originally shot in 1922, the 1968 version of Haxan features legendary Beat Author William S. Burroughs narrating the history of witchcraft like a 1950's classroom film/PSA, all scored by a fiery free jazz soundtrack from Daniel Humair. The crisp, artsy, surreal black & white film is, quite frankly, stunningly beautiful, with every frame a work of art, and the slightly updated feel makes Haxan more approachable to modern viewers.
