It only started poking its way into film histories when Criterion re-released it in 2001, but it really deserves to be better known.

I wasn't familiar with Häxan, Dan, but it looks awesome: I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.

There isn't much else more scary than a somnabulist. The crazy set pieces ain't CGI, but they also are way more scary.

"Haxen: A History of Witchcraft" (1919?…Swedish?) is probably my favorite silent horror movie. "There are spirits everywhere, they are all around us…" good opener.
