Hexen (1922)
Der Film verwischt die Grenzen zwischen Horror und dessen Dokumentation. Er beleuchtet tatsächliche bekannte Ereignisse von Hexerei und Okkultismus aus der Geschichte ebenso wie die Mythen um Satan und dessen Anbetung in Spielszenen bis hin zum Zeitpunkt seiner Entstehung (1922). Bis heute gilt "Hexen" als ein erschreckender Beitrag zur frühen Filmgeschichte und als Meisterwerk aus den Anfängen des (Horror-)Kinos.
