What better way to celebrate the arrival of October than with a witches' brew of demonology and medieval superstition? Benjamin Christensen’s 1922 silent film Häxan explores the notion that Middle Ages-era "witches" were actually "hysterical," à la 20th-century psych patients. Don't expect a dry, tedious documentary, though—the film casts an unbelievably eerie spell that stands the test of time, and it's peppered with dark humor that sends conventions of filmmaking straight to Hell.
