Book Description

Kenneth Anger, responsible
for such classic underground films as Scorpio Rising and authoring Hollywood
Babylon, is almost certainly the most original, talented and subversive
film-maker of the 20th Century. Fully illustrated and featuring an original,
in-depth interview with Anger, Moonchild explores his fascination with
Hollywood history, the occult and Aleister Crowley,and reveals how he is
often hailed as the Godfather of MTV.
