INVOCATION OF MY DEMON BROTHER T-SHIRT

A cult film t-shirt available in black or white cotton.

Psychedelic, chaotic, and occult to the core — Kenneth Anger’s 1969 short film Invocation of My Demon Brother remains one of the strangest, most transgressive artifacts of underground cinema. Made from re-edited scraps of Anger’s abandoned Lucifer Rising project, it’s a dizzying montage of occult rituals, strobing imagery, and countercultural excess that captured the dark heart of the late ’60s.

Scored entirely on a Moog synthesizer by Mick Jagger, the film throbs with electronic menace, its pulsating soundtrack perfectly mirroring the fractured visuals: military parades cut with witchcraft ceremonies, funerals with fireworks, drug highs with satanic invocations. It’s both a ritual and a rebellion — Anger using cinema as spellwork, summoning a dark new energy from celluloid itself.

“I am a magus making movies — and movies are my spells.” – Kenneth Anger

Long before “cult cinema” became a buzzword, Invocation of My Demon Brother was the real deal: screened in dingy art houses, whispered about in occult circles, and cited as an influence by filmmakers from Gaspar Noé to David Lynch. To watch it is to peer into a time when art, magic, and counterculture collided in dazzling, disorienting ways.

The Invocation of My Demon Brother T-Shirt celebrates that collision. It’s more than a film reference — it’s a wearable invocation of the underground spirit: dangerous, experimental, and utterly unforgettable.

Perfect for cult cinema fanatics, occult explorers, and anyone who prefers their art unbound by sanity or safety.
