One Minute Meditation: Rev. Kane
TYPE: Fear
PURPOSE: This Audio-visual Meditation gives experiential access to childhood-level terror.
CONTEXT: Rev. Kane, played by the peerless Julian Beck, is here scaring the hell out of you. This is a compilation of every frame from the vision sequence, which shows (1) the terrible thing that happened in the past and (2) why it is that we should loath Rev. Kane.
As most of you know, Julian Beck died during the shooting of the film. As he lay dying of stomach cancer, and before he went under, he muttered repeatedly,
Jonah Lee. Jonah Lee. …
Which was the name of a rag doll given to him by his great grandmother.
METHOD: Feel the fear. And see if you can hear anything that sounds like Jonah Lee.
