[**“Witchcraft Through the Ages” (Haxan) – Polka music! Butter Churns!! 16mm silent film screening with Victrola!!!**](http://morbidanatomymuseum.org/event/witchcraft-through-the-ages-haxan-polka-music-butter-churns-16mm-silent-film-screening-with-victrola-3/?ref=bklyner.com)  
**When:** Monday, October 26, 8pm  
**Where:** [Morbid Anatomy Museum](http://morbidanatomymuseum.org/?ref=bklyner.com), 424 3rd Avenue (at 7th Street)  
**What:** What can we say about Witchcraft Through the Ages (Haxan) other than the ominous warning that you will never think the same way about the butter churn again. Well, there actually is a bit more to say about this splendid, hallucinatory spectacle of devils, demons, witches, priests, and butter churns. From its opening depictions of the medieval cosmos, to the satanic escapades at its core, to the strange postscript that jolts us into the modern age, it is a highly idiosyncratic work of silent-era cinema. The movie will be shown with an assembled soundtrack from 78 records DJ’d “live” upon the Victrola by filmmaker and drollerist Joel Schlemowitz. **We must warn you**: any patrons discovered churning butter during the screening will be forcibly removed by the ushers.  
**How much:** $12, tickets available in [advance](http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1844963?ref=bklyner.com).
