Was perusing the TCM Underground offerings in May and stumbled across a Danish silent film made in 1922 called "Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages". The IMDB comments were strikingly positive, and most comments assessed the film as "amazing", "innovative" and "fascinating". "Way ahead of its time" another reviewer commented, surprised by scenes of nudity and torture for a film made over 85 years ago (Doris Wishman was only 10 years old at the time!) I'm certain TCM will show the "restored" version, which apparently is the one to watch. At any rate, set your DVR's for 2:00 a.m. on May 30th.
Also, I'll put in a plug for "High as a Kite" Night on TCM this Friday (5/9). The joint is rockin' with Reefer Madness at 2:00 a.m., Marihuana at 3:15 and Cocaine Fiends at 4:30 a.m.
