Strange Age

Check out this great listen on Audible.com. Henry David Thoreau is known as a naturalist, a philosopher, and a leading Transcendentalist. But he was also an ardent abolitionist and political activist....

Was expecting WITCHFINDER GENERAL (1968) to be folk horror; it's in fact a brutally matter-of-fact historical drama about how true evil on the Earth is perpetrated by unremarkable, cowardly human beings, & how ideological extremism is so often a vehicle for violent self-interest.

Vincent Price shot from below so he looms over the camera, in Witchfinder General. Subtitle text: The mark of Satan is upon them.
