This chapter delves into the creation of the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire introduced by a renowned writer in an alternate reality game-like fashion. It discusses the intertwining of occultism, pop culture, and influential figures, such as H.P. Lovecraft, and the emergence of the Typhonian OTO branch. The conversation also compares horror films like 'The Wicker Man' and 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' with Lovecraftian elements, delving into thematic similarities and influences on societal norms.
We discuss the various forms the Occult takes in Long Seventies cinema and why this medium informs all other media for decades when it comes to depictions of the Occult.
