Karen Black, Hypnotist in "Haunting Fear"

Actress Karen Black is a hypnotist helping a woman who suffers terrible nightmares to get a night of sound and restful sleep. The scene is taken from the late 80s film "Haunting Fear; it's rather short and for some readers it will be a bit dissapointing, but it has some nice details, like the conversation between the hypnotist and the subject about what is going to happen during the induction, the way the woman lies on a couch with the hypnotist over her, and the soft, gentle touches of the therapist on her hand.

The clip was found and taken from Hypno-Media's channel at Stage6. It has been reuploaded for convenience, since Stage6 requires a plugin not everyone will want to install to watch it. Thanks!

Treasures from the Female Hypnotist Archives: "The Champions" and "Arsene Lupin"

Although the Hypnotic Society has laid dormant for many months and has just restarted its activities, the archives have kept growing and growing during the last year. We are happy to recover some of its most precious items for the enjoyment of those who may have missed them in the first place.

Seductive female hypnotists is something we enjoy almost as much as beautiful ladies in trance, but alas, they are just so hard to find, at least caught on tape. These two gems from a 60s TV show and a recent motion picture represent the most clear outline of how to endow a beautiful lady with hypnotic skills; this is as good as it gets.

"The Champions" goes for a powerful stare, while "Arsene Lupin" chooses the classic swinging watch; in both examples the voice of the hypnotist is as soft and silky as authoritative. Interrogation and manipulation are the goals of the trance, and the actresses do an amazing job. Watch out for the surpise in the middle of the induction in the second clip.

Both films arrived to us months ago Via Inraptured, the best resource in the world for glamurous female hypnotists.

Enchanting Hypnotists | Hypnosis in Media: "Oldboy" hypnosis scenes

The award-winning Korean movie "Oldboy", from 2003, is one of the most intense and powerful film experiences of the last ten years. If you have seen it, you know it; if you haven't, you should basically quit reading this site and buy it, rent it or download it right now; you won't be sorry.

In this tender and tragic tale of revenge, there is a female hypnotist that plays a crucial part. This is all I can say without spoiling it for those who have not seen it, and I won't do that. However, I believe I can show you every scene that she appears in without ruining the movie for anyone; it's not more than 3 minutes long, and it's in Korean. Our copy of the film doesn't have English subtitles, but if you have seen the movie you don't need them; if not, you can see the video safely and have another reason to watch "Oldboy".

As I said, the Hypnotist appears in the movie only in 3 short scenes, where she puts under the male and female protagonists; little more than 3 minutes of time on screen. This is why I find so incredible how with barely any material Seung-Shin Lee, the actress portraying her, creates one of the most memorable evil female hypnotists in the recent history of cinema; we are talking "Woman in Green" levels of greatness here, ladies and gentlemen. Eveything about her is just perfect: the first thing we get to see from her, her way of walking, soft and elegant; her silken voice; how her facial expression is calm but at the same time authoritative; the cunningness and power she exhales, seducing people into hypnotic sleep without their knowledge; and her hypnotic tool, a bell hanging from a swinging metal chain. This is one of the better examples I can find of everything we love in the Hypnotic Appreciation Society. There is apparently a (completely unnecesary) Hollywood Remake of "Oldboy" in production. What we really want to see is a spinoff movie about Yoo Hyung-ja, the fascinating hypnotist in this great film.

Hypnosis in Media | Enchanting Hypnotists: "The Man Inside" trailer

We haven't found much information about this video you are about to see. It seems to be a trailer for an independent movie still in production. The plot deals with an amnesiac man and his beautiful, mysterious psychiatrist.The trailer show different images from a hypnotic session, including the induction and the awakening. And we will only say 3 words: dangling key induction.

We definitely want to know more. It certainly looks promising.

This is also our first entry about female hypnotists, something you can definitely expect a lot more of. The Hypnotic Appreciation Society is not a female dominant hypnosis site in any way; there are plenty of those. This site deals with hypnosis and glamour, and it's hard to decide what is more glamourous: a beautiful hypnotic subject, or a beautiful hypnotist..
