HAXON(1929).2:00 am on TCM

[James Whale]

Danish director Benjamin Christensen's silent documentary on the history of witchcraft,is reputed as the strangest silent movie ever made, if not the strangest of all films.The film starts out as a documentary.Then it begins to creep the hell out of you with live action witchcraft skits. This is something very interesting. I would love for people to watch it and comment. Filmakers may see things in this old film that they could incorporate into some of their works. I hope I'm not the only person who is going to watch this. I'd love to have some discourse with film historians and horror , genre fans.

I might have to pop in a tape for this one.

THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (1929) is on right after HAXAN. Friday is going to be a great night for horror! Yes , it's HAXAN not HAXON.
