Disaster Piece or Schizoid Masterpiece?

So I finally watched all of Exorcist II: The Heretic. I'd never seen the film in its entirety, and I wanted to see if it really was as bad as the critics say it is. 

Schiztember is Over. Shocktober Begins.

The second semester of the Secret Sun Institute is now in full swing, and the syllabus has been set. There's no monkeying around this fall - we're firing on all cylinders with a hardcore slate of very deep and dark dives. 

The Exorcist Exposed - So Much Darker Than You Think

What is The Exorcist REALLY about?


Who was the real Captain Howdy?

Why did William Peter Blatty choose Pazuzu - the protector of children - as his villain?


Was Blatty actually warning someone about a far more real and immediate threat and cloaking it in the supernatural?

No Ouija board or secret decoder rings needed - it's all right there in the text.

Uncle Sam's Secret Sorcerers: Coming for Your Children

This has been a difficult series to write. I really don't like to dwell on this type of subject matter and there aren't any happy endings to these stories.

Demonic Idolatry for Fun and Prophet!

 

Modern public art and architecture is deliberate and malicious psychological warfare, created and bankrolled by power-mad, hate-filled weirdos in order to depress, degrade and demoralize the public. Everyone with more than two braincells to rub together knows that.

Synchro Streams Meet Electric Dreams

The beating heart of the Secret Sun Institute for Advanced Synchromysticism is the livestream. We’ve had some rather epic ones on 2024, and 2025 is looking to be another banner year for streams.

Legion (2010): Prophecy and Stolen Property

Hollywood's idea of originality is knocking off a well-known older film (or in this case, a series of films) and throwing a lot of CGI on top of it, giving it a new name and reselling it. This is the trailer for the original Christopher Walken film, The Prophecy. Not a masterpiece by any means, but a fun little romp.

 

Uncle Sam's Secret Sorcerers: Manic Satanic

The thing about Never-Ending Rituals is they never end. And you never know where and when the next phase of it is going to pop up. 

The Nightmare Before HallowMeme

Well, it's almost October 31st and you all know what that portends - HallowMeme. I've got a fresh stash of dank memes for your entertainment and schizospiritual edification, so let's get into it without further delay...

The Book of RevElections: Always Start with the Stars

Whether you're a believer or an atheist or something in-between, you can never escape the stars. 

Head Out on the Highway (to the Necropolis)

My boy Eric Hollerbach and I got together again at the vaguely-creepy Necropolis to dig into The Synchromystic Handbook, the elections and other pressing issues of the day. 

Hallow's Eve Hit Parade

October is my favorite month of the year. More than any other it feels like a powerfully liminal phase, a time straddled between two worlds. 

(MK-OFTEN) Matinee of the Living Dead

Sixty years of sorcerous entrainment have ravaged the hearts, minds and bodies of the American populace. It's been a long march, one that is now reaching its destination. 

Here's another example of where it all began...

"The Great Siren That Sitteth Upon Many Waters..."

Mermaid Mania shows now sign of stopping but leave it to Richard Branson to take it all to the next level. 

I mean, what's a manufactured Apocalypse without a Scarlet Woman, right? 

Witch Mountain: The Dog is a Major Issue

 

We went to see Race to Witch Mountain on Saturday and were all pleasantly surprised; it's actually a nice little sci-fi romp. I had considered checking out Knowing after reading that it too is alien-themed (isn't everything this year?), but realized the missus wouldn't enjoy the violence and I wouldn't enjoy the cosmology.

From the Fifth Element to the Fourth Kind

In a year jam-packed with alien-themed movies, this trailer seems to have hit a certain chord. The Fourth Kind certainly gives off a strong X-Files vibe, similar to The Mothman Prophecies and The Forgotten, so you know I'm there.

 

1983: The Year That Broke Reality

That helmet looks vaguely Kirbyesque

1983 hovers like a wraith over all of my work and I've never been quite sure why. All I know is that I sensed something definitively change in the spring and summer of that year, even if those changes have only become apparent in the past few years. 

But all I can say for sure is that something somehow seemed to have entered our world from somewhere else.

From Ecto-Genesis to Transgenic Revelation

Ladies and Gentlemen we are floating in space

For over 50 years, researchers have been screaming into the wind that a massive conditioning program has been underway in order to acclimate people to UFOs, aliens, exoplanets and the rest of it. 

According to this line of thinking, this is precisely why we've been carpet-bombed with movies, books, comics, toys and TV shows beating the alien/UFO/AAT drum.
