2021 - The Year of Gamaliel, The Night of the Demon

 

Dr John Holden: I see you practice white magic as well as black.

 


Night of the Demon (1957)



THE OUTER PLOT THEORY

The Rocky Horror Picture Show Meta-theory of 2021 is that events are been coordinated according to the script & songs of this cult movie.  The last post summarized where we are with the Inner Plot of RHPS, i.e. the shenanigans of our principal characters as we head towards the final act of the movie.  The Outer Plot Meta-theory is that certain themes of the year (particularly those related to the vaccination program and other aspects of the ''Gorgoneion'' - biosecurity, climate security, space security, currency security, digital security) are structured according to the movies referenced in the Prologue to Rocky Horror, i.e. Science Fiction Double Feature.  The Outer Plot received less attention than the Inner Plot and we only really started looking at it during Forbidden Planet, before this it offered a vague structural support to our work on the Inner Plot.  If you are struggling with this aspect of the theory the best thing will be to watch the movies for yourself with the following in mind and you can draw your own conclusions.  Honestly, just watch the films - especially Tarantula

By way of example lets just simplistically review the lilifluenza covid-19 themes of Forbidden Planet, Tarantula and Day of the Triffids:
  • Forbidden Planet (1956) (June) - Travel Restrictions, Lockdowns, Invisible Enemies (the virus), Defensive Shields (vaccines), Mental Health
  • Tarantula (July) - No. of jabs i.e. third jab (?) & side effects of jabs
  • Day of the Triffids (August) - ''blind spread'' of the virus (i.e. different restrictions applied to vaccinated even though they can still catch and spread the disease), triffids against the fence (defensive shield, vaccine) vaccine efficacy

For Night of the Demon (September), based on the components of the story, the Apocalypse Squad predicted a focus on the following:  

  • Vaccine Passports (Cursed Parchment)
  • Vaccination of Children (Child Sacrifice)
  • Greater Visibility of Occultism
To whet your appetite we had this sync of the demon and the hypnotised farmer with Baal, Asmodeus and Moloch with the intervention by the Satanic Temple over the controversial abortion law in Texas.  Then this chap shows up making the argument for vaccinating children:






So we are now deep in the discussion of exactly what we expected regarding the cursed parchment of the vaccine passport and fighting over it, the use of children as human shields for the elderly all the while the obviously occult symbolism reaches a fever pitch.  Got a bit demonic all of a sudden didn't it?  Watch along with the rest using this organizer from Journeyman of Hotel Apohenia.  Or even better wait til October, put your seatbelt on, and watch along with When Worlds Collide....  If you remain unconvinced, in spite of all the evidence, in wilful ignorance of the ''evil deeds'' that are being perpetuated, then you are no better than Dr John Holden yourself.

Joanna Harrington is looking at the occult book which discloses the power of the runic symbols. The book is in cypher. Karswell dismisses them and then tells his mother that Nothing is for nothing in the world of the occult. 'I do what I do out of fear. I must protect myself'.


13th September 00:38:00

14th September 00:41:10

Holden whistles the Demon tune. O’Brian claims it's an Irish folk song about the devil. Kumar recognises it as part of an Indian enchantment spell. Hodlen's Diary has been ripped with no paper after the 28th. A Storm causes a powercut.

19th September 00:57:00

The voice of Professor Harrington appears. 'He can’t fight it', 'it’s too strong'. 'Karswell has the key'. Translated old book. Answer is there. The Demon is coming!!!

27th September 01:22:20

'It is the Night of the Demon’ ‘I see it’ ‘I have been chosen’ ‘The parchment was passed to me, I took it without knowing’. On being shown the parchment: ‘I won’t take it’ he leaps from a window to his death.


28th September 01:25:30

Holden is now a believer. He looks for K on the train he is taking to flee London. K has taken Joanna hostage by putting her into a trance.


29th September 01:28:40

Joanna is revived. There's a tense stalemate in the carriage. Holden cannot get K to take anything from him but he won’t let him leave. The Police intervene and as K leaves Holden succeeds in passing the runes.


30th September 01:31:50 - 01:35:00

A panicking Karswell chases the runes off the train and follows them flying down the tracks. They burn to cinders and the demon appears. (A misstep on the producers part, the director and actors knew it was better left unseen.) It ends badly for Karswell: ‘the train must've hit him' say the police but we know better. Holden and Joanna leave the scene: 'Maybe its better not to know.'

Julian Karswell: Oh yes, I don't think it would be too amusing for the youngsters if I conjured up a demon from hell for them.
