_Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome_ (vhs/ntsc) directed by Kenneth Anger
1954-56 version: 41 minutes, sound by Harry Partch.
1958 version presented at Brussels, on three screens, also 41 minutes.
Sacred Mushroom Edition (1960-78), on one screen, 41 minutes, with a soundrrack by Lanacek (Clagolithic Mass)
1978 version, on one screen, 38 minutes. Soundtrack by the Electric Light Orchestra.
Thelema Abbey 1955. Sound documentary on the ruins of Aleister Crowley's temple in Cefalu, Sicily.

An early version, which seems never to have been distributed, had a sound track by Harry Partch. The 1954 version, which circulated widely, had Janacek's _Glagolithic Mass_ for a sound track. A three-screen version was presented at the experimental film festival in Brussels in 1958 (but also never distributed). Then in 1966, Anger released the _Sacred Mushroom_ version, which was supposed to be watched under the influence of psychedelic mushrooms or other drugs. It begins with a reading of Coleridge's _Kubla Kahn_ and has a number of images added to the 1954 version, including photos of Aleister Crowley; also horror movie sound effects were added to the sound track. Later Anger deleted the Janacek sound track and put music by the Electric Light Orchestra in its place. That is the version included in the _Magick Lantern Cycle_, which includes all of Anger's films from _Fireworks_ to _Lucifer Rising_.
