"Häxan," a Swedish/Danish 1922 silent film, sometimes considered infamous, is airing now on TCM. The film tells the story of typical witchcraft cases in the Middle Ages.
Trivia about the film from imdb.com:
"The Swedish film censors required numerous cuts in the film, before authorizing its release. Among the censored scenes were the closeup of the finger being removed from the hanged man's hand, the trampling of the cross in the witch's sabbath scene, the shot of the oozing infant held over a cooking pot, a closeup of a woman's face while she is on a torture rack, closeups of several instruments of torture being employed, and a shot of a demon embracing a nude woman (all these shots have since been restored to the film)."
