499: Alt Dot Paganism
Is this Major Tom's skull?
In the 1960s and 70s, Hollywood gave us lurid visions of devil worship and the coming of the Anti-Christ in movies like Rosemary's Baby and The Omen. In the 1980s, The Believers, a movie about Santeria, provided a blueprint for the real life Metamoros cult murders in Mexico. By the late 90s, movies like The Craft recognized a world older and less hidebound than the one encompassed by Christian beliefs. At the same time, the X-Files seemed to use the rising power of the internet to conjure weird tales that seemed more like an encounter with the strange side of real life and less like recycled Hollywood tropes about aliens and monsters. KMO and occult researcher Peg Aloi explore the interplay between popular entertainment and occult beliefs and practices.
