Midnight Video

An archive of two chaps, a laptop and a mic attempting to unearth the lost, forgotten and overlooked in cinema.

Midnight Video 7: Haxan (Witchcraft through the Ages - 1968 version), Britannia Hospital and Coonskin

Well folks, it's that time of the week again when you can inundate your ears and grey matter with our floundering filmic shenanigans.

A lesson in the black arts from The Priest as we polish our pentacles for Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages (1968 version), then we're left on a gurney to be satirically probed in Britannia Hospital before we round off with a trip to 70s Harlem where Uncle Remus meets Mario Puzo in Coonskin.
