I stumbled across this on Youtube just now and was surprised to see Peter Turgeon amongst the cast members (as Uncle Anders).  De Duva circulated in museum and library showings when I was growing up in the 1970s.  It is a short film in black and white done as a satire on Bergman, especially WILD STRAWBERRIES and DAY OF WRATH, with actors speaking fake Swedish (really quite clever if you listen closely) and subtitles:

The movie lasts about 14 minutes.

That sounds like a riot, Uncle Roger.

I keep noting just how frequently DS is mentioned now in various media forums, outlets and organs (or should that be orifices and organs, lol) and it seems a little unreal.  About 20 years ago if the subject came up I always felt I had to try to explain it.  I no longer feel the need to do that.

I haven't read any of the reviews from the debut of American Horror Story: Coven but it would be interesting to see just how often (if at all) DS is mentioned in them.

Is there a context for today's capture and quote?  I'm completely blanking on this part of the movie.

My question is partly rhetorical--no need to feel obligated to post an answer.

Today's scenes with Mrs. Johnson really underline how much the character has changed since her original manifestation in 1966.  1966 Mrs. Johnson thought Roger Collins was more or less the spawn of Satan.  The original Mrs. J was fairly strongly religious, or at least a strong belief was more than a little hinted at in some of her lines.  In the original Laura storyline, Mrs. J strongly disapproves of the holding of the seance or anything to do with the occult.

Her personality changes could very plausibly be explained by her experience of living at Collinwood.  I really wish they had given the character a scene where she explained to Burke, or somebody, why she had decided to stay on there.

One of my personal favorite episodes, and somehow it always makes me think of Halloween, so it's cool that we're watching it now.

Love the opening scene between Nicholas and Mrs. Johnson...

I meant to ask... beyond the line in today's image, was there ever any acknowledgement that Liz noticed that Julia had just disappeared overnight?

I meant to post this as I believe it was taped the day they did this episode:

Radio interview for the Ron Barry Show with Jonathan, Grayson, HHA, Robert Rodan, Roger Davis and (only in the first segment, because he had to leave for an appointment) Don Briscoe.

Interesting that Barry treats Davis as if he's already figured out he's a jerk... some start early...

Love Grayson's infectious laughter when Briscoe purrs, "I'm the apprentice vampire."
