That’s right: Rob returns to the Strange Uncles podcast with his annual Masonic-Halloween Special, followed by the Big Giveaway, debuting at the end of the month. In the meantime, enjoy these immortal classics from years past.
Halloween Ends (2022) prominently features the Grand Gallery and the Hall of Shadows, clearly seen when Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney) is pinned to the table emulating the Devil’s posture (the above and below of Hermes Trismegistus) on card XV, signifying that he is evil incarnate. Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) in The Shining (1980) strikes the same pose at the Overlook’s July 4th ball, manifesting in Ends with Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) as a disturbed writer.

I think there may have been an audio issue with the earlier one, so Vadim has made two new videos. Listen to Rob talk Shakespeare, Giordano Bruno, the Rosicrucians, Dr. John Dee, Francis Bacon, the Kabbalah, and other esoterica!
Halloween Ends‘ (2022) blue opening credits conjures three movies: The Shining (1980), Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982), and Psycho (1960), wherein the latter periwinkle blue was Mrs. Bates’ favorite color.
Incredibly popular in Belarus, the Ukraine, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Lithuania, Germany, France, Egypt, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Turkey, the UK, Hungary, and China, Rob’s most recent interview with Vadim Shegalov is now dubbed in Russian. Check it out!
Game Theory 101: “Michael Myers kills babysitters, not kids.”
The shadow of the Great Beast lives in James Bond villain and SPECTRE chief Ernst Stavro Blofeld. In On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969), Blofeld (Telly Savalas, 1922-1994) shares Master Therion’s penchant for legitimizing phony ancestries and coats of arms. In this scene, Blofeld masquerades as Balthazar, Count de Bleuchamp. Blofeld’s deception also conjures Crowley’s belief that he was a magical charlatan.
