Features

30 100 years of Häxan (cover story)
A century ago, Danish director Benjamin Christensen unleashed his visually ravishing silent film about the mediæval witch craze and transported modern audiences back to a nightmare world of devils, demons and possessed nuns. Andy Paciorek celebrates a true cinematic oddity.

38 The Devil's Taxi
In mediæval discourse, witches and wizards alike called on dark forces for their aerial travel to the Sabbat. However, their Satanic master was just as likely to use it to play some cruel prank on his credulous minions. Bob Rickard rides out, cautiously, to survey unpredictable results of these transvections.

46 The Haunted Screen: Ghostwatch at 30
Stu Neville rewinds to 1992 and explores the spooky TV sensation that terrified the nation... and then saw angry viewers up in arms at being 'duped' by this seminal 'fake' ghost story.
