Kenneth Anger
"Alice L. Hutchinson sets Kenneth Anger's work within the social and artistic context of the twentieth century - from the bohemian world of Cocteau in Paris in the 1940s and 50s to the psychedelic London in the late 60s to Anger's hometown of Hollywood, made infamous in his Hollywood Babylon books. With many new reproductions, this book provides an essential introduction to one of the pioneers of independent filmmaking." "Alongside the text by Hutchinson, this publication consolidates English and French texts as well as interviews by Anger, alongside commentaries on his work by Stan Brakhage, Anais Nin, Samson De Brier, Jonas Mekas and Carolee Schneemann."--Jacket.
Moonchild
Kenneth Anger: author of Hollywood Babylon, disciple of Aleister Crowley, former mentor to both Bobby Beausoleil and Mick Jagger, "Godfather" of MTV--and almost certainly one of the most original and talented film-makers of the 20th Century. Moonchild is a comprehensive study of Anger's films focusing in particular on the occult, mind-altering, homo-erotic, and pop-culture elements found within such classics as Fireworks, Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome, Scorpio Rising, and Invocation Of My Demon Brother.
Anger
Known worldwide for his bestselling Hollywood Babylon books, Kenneth Anger is an underground filmmaker whose tremendous influence has been acknowledged by directors as diverse as Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and Dennis Hopper. As the father and most highly regarded member of American cinema's avant-garde, Anger made three films now considered masterpieces: Fireworks, Scorpio Rising, and Lucifer Rising. More than forty years later his aesthetic ripple is still being felt in contemporary mediums such as rock videos. Beginning with Anger's life as a child actor in Hollywood (he was featured in A Midsummer Night's Dream with Mickey Rooney), Bill Landis's biography takes the reader on a wild journey from the beginning of the underground film movement in the United States and Europe through the equally underground gay world of the '40s and '50s to the '60s in London and San Francisco, when Anger was at his peak of fame, and up to the present.

This highly-illustrated book joins insightful text and unseen film stills to tell the vivid story of this evocative director and remains the only comprehensive book on the market.

California Infernal
Satanism and the silver screen: the bizarre friendship of Anton LaVey and Jayne Mansfield Movie star Jayne Mansfield and notorious Satanist Anton LaVey met in 1966. Both were publicity conscious and made the most of the meetings, which evolved into a friendship. Almost always present was German paparazzo Walter Fischer, stationed in Hollywood and catering to image- and scandal-hungry photo magazines all over the world.
