Karl E.H. Seigfried invites you to get your Halloween weekend started right with one of these horrific films, including THE DEVILS (1971), MESSIAH OF EVIL (1974), MARTIN (1977), and THE CHURCH (1989).
Karl E.H. Seigfried travels through American landscape and American history, and considers how Heathen values reflect and intersect with both.
Happy Halloween! To celebrate, Karl E.H. Seigfried considers novels by George A. Romero & Daniel Kraus, F. Paul Wilson, and John Bellairs, and what their horrors can teach us about the horrors that face us today.
“Magic ain’t got nothing to do with organs and glands and busted necks,” says Merlin. “Magic got to do with the soul. Only the soul got destiny. It’s got a way, it’s got to fly.”
The more of Romero’s films that I watched – and especially the more of his novel that I read – the more I also found a theology bubbling up through the blood that aligns with my own theology of Ásatrú, a modern religion that revives, reconstructs, and reimagines the ancient polytheism of Northern Europe.
