William S Burroughs Witchcraft Newsreel
 

This is actually a remix of a remix, but the first half of it comes off as a 1930's newsreel on witchdraft, with croaking narration by William S Burroughs: download mpeg video (19 megs), or youtube it. The original satanic footage here is from a 1922 silent film which was re-released in 1968 with a soundtrack by Jean-Luc Ponty and narration by Burroughs. Either the 1922 original or the 1968 re-release was titled Superstition: Middle Ages and Now. For the brand new second half, your guess is as good as mine. via youtuber johnplex.

And while we're on the subject of Burroughs, here is an MP3 of him and the Eudoras, covering the Mortal Micronotz track Old Lady Sloan:
