Show notes
Shocktober 2015 concludes with a look at the 1922 film by director Benjamin Christensen, Häxan, an odd artistic mash-up of what can only be described as a university slide show lecture, a documentary featuring reenactments, and a horror film. That's what makes Häxan such a singular film over 90 years later.

Bilal Though I have yet to see Haxan, I'm listening to this and wanted to respond to the Burroughs summary: I think you are misunderstanding the gist of it. I didn't take it as anti-woman but the opposite, saying in the old days women would be accused as witches, now they are abused in a different way.
