STORY SUMMARY

Enter a mysterious world where the boundary separating the living from the dead has begun to disappear. Mediums conduct séances, ancient spells awaken supernatural creatures and desperate bargains unleash forces that cannot be controlled.

Séances, Spells & Spirits presents twelve atmospheric classics from the earliest years of supernatural cinema. The collection explores witchcraft, ghosts, black magic, occult rituals, curses, vampires and strange creatures through some of the most imaginative films of the silent era.

From the medieval horrors of Häxan and the demonic bargain of Faust to the vampire terror of Nosferatu and the haunted-house mystery of The Cat and the Canary, this collection offers an extraordinary journey into the dark imagination of early filmmakers.
