Join Swedish author Carl Abrahamsson for an in-depth look at the film Orgy of the Dead (1965), written by supreme American auteur Ed Wood Jr. What seems on the surface to be yet another Wood sleaze-fest with zombie strippers and movie monsters contains considerably more than meets reptile brain and eye at first sight. Carl will unearth hidden meanings and relevances – perhaps specifically from a perspective of Carl Jung’s concept of the ”collective unconscious”… Can films like this really save the world? And… do you have what it takes to enjoy the sexual antics of these nocturnal creatures in a cemetery cloaked in stage smoke and diabolical double entendres?

Carl Abrahamssonis a writer, publisher, magico-anthropologist, filmmaker, and photographer. Since the mid-1980s he has been active in the magical community, integrating “occulture” as a way of life and lecturing about his findings and speculations. The author of several books, including Occulture and Source Magic, and the editor and publisher of The Fenris Wolf, he lives in Småland, Sweden. www.carlabrahamsson.com

Dr. Vanessa Sinclair and Carl Abrahamsson curate the Psychoanalysis, Art & the Occult series of events, dedicated to exploring the intersections and integration of psychoanalytic theory, the creative arts, occult practices, and folk magic traditions. By inviting psychoanalysts, philosophers, artists, writers, and occult practitioners from a variety of theoretical orientations and worldviews to discuss their work, personal experiences, and areas of research interest with one another, dialogue is opened up between practitioners in fields of study that traditionally rarely engage with one another though often operate in similar and complementary ways.
