In 1941, HÄXAN director Benjamin Christensen filmed this short introduction for the rerelease of his film.
WITCHCRAFT THROUGH THE AGES, a version of HÄXAN released in 1968, represents one of several cinematic collaborations between avant-gardists Antony Balch, Brion Gysin, and William S. Burroughs. Daniel Humair wrote the jazz score, which features, among others, Jean-Luc Ponty on violin.
