The thriving epicenter of American entertainment, Hollywood is the land of glitz and glamour - a place where stars are born, and dreams come to life. Yet, for every dream realized, another dies. The annals of Hollywood history are replete with stories of lives gone wrong, death, and tragic misfortune. Many believe that the spirits of these unfortunate souls still inhabit the "city of angels." In the "Land of Shadow and Light," perhaps restless souls still do wander the famed streets of Hollywood. In this stirring video, you can venture to the city's most popular locations - among both the living and the dead.

Pagan Invasion, Vol. 13: Doorways To Satan(en)
1991-01-01
The dawn of the 21st Century has found much of modern society obsessed with occult mysteries, sadistic violence, and evil. Everything from cartoons and video games to recorded music and major theatrical films are being designed and promote to "satisfy" the public's insatiable lust for the macabre. Most disturbing is the rise in the practice of Satanism. Law enforcement agencies are unable to keep up with the increasing numbers of heinous, Satanically inspired crimes. Basically a remake of Devil Worship: The Rise of Satanism (1989) using the same footage.

Cocaine: History Between the Lines(en)
2011-08-30
Cocaine has always gotten a bad rap, and for a reason. It is a drug used by the rich and the poor legally and illegally, Mexican cartels fought over it with Colombia once associated with the brutal cocaine wars, and a source of tension between the American and Mexican borders on the people who are illicitly bringing in cocaine from one side of the border to another and will do anything to do it. So it can be surprising at times to the viewer throughout the course of the documentary special, that it was never always like this.

Mondo Hollywood(en)
1967-06-30
Long considered a cult classic, "Mondo Hollywood" captures the underside of Hollywood by documenting a moment in time (1965-67), when an inquisitive trust in the unknown was paramount, hope for the future was tangible and life was worth living on the fringe. An interior monologue narrative approach is used throughout the film, where each principal person shown not only decided on what they wanted to be filmed doing, but also narrated their own scenes. The film opens with Gypsy Boots (the original hippie vegan - desert hopping blender salesman), and stripper Jennie Lee, working out 'Watusi-style' beneath the 'Hollywood' sign -- leading into the 'sustainable community' insight of Lewis Beach Marvin III, the S&H Green Stamp heir, who lived in a $10 a month garage while owning a mountain retreat in Malibu.
