Wes Craven's Shocker is about a serial killer who is sent to the electric chair to die. In exchange for his soul, the devil makes it possible for the serial killer to return back as a energy form to possess humans. The Shocker is a classic astral horror movie that conveys an astral being traveling in the physical world. I remember watching The Shocker in 1989. While Craven's The Shocker seemed daunting at the time, the astral horror concept was rather clever.

The main character is a high school kid who has astral dreams about a serial killer. His vivid dreams about the serial killer murdering various people within the town allow the police to apprehend the culprit. Once the serial killer is put to death for his gruesome crimes, his predetermined deal with the devil enables him to travel through the physical world as an energy form.

The Shocker paves the way for Fallen, which is another film that employs the astral body jump concept. A serial killer who has the ability to possess any physical body holds the most evil power imaginable in the physical world. An astral being that possesses human beings can carry out the devil's evil deeds.

The Shocker is an astral horror classic from the late 80's. Watch the movie to analyze metaphysics and astral horror content. Shocker is essentially an astral travel movie which uses electricity to astral project the main protagonist and antagonist. The astral worlds within the energy world convey astral projection in motion. Thanks for reading.

There are very few astral travel films. Insidious is a stand-alone film about astral projection. What type of astral travel film do you want to see in the near future?

Insidious sparked a huge astral projection fan following. Many web surfers are searching for astral projection, astral travel, astral worlds, metaphysics, and metaphysical content. Out-of-body-experiences are common techniques employed in films such as in A Nightmare on Elm Street astral horror movies and even in Matrix films.

12 Monkeys captures the essence of astral time travel. Bruce Willis is sent back into time to investigate the person responsible for releasing a killer virus that wipes out 99% of the world's population. While Bruce's character never physically leaves the physical world, his astral form transcends the element of astral time travel to operate in a past world which the virus already destroyed. Astral time travel is essentially another form of astral travel.

Source Code also uses the same concept, but instead mind projection astral projects the Jake's character into the mind of another deceased train passenger. Source code shows that one person is capable of changing physical events through influencing astral worlds. Astral time travel and astral projection/mind projection are interesting concepts.

In a way, Sucker Punch conveys the depiction of astral worlds through the mind of Emily Browning's character. Whereas, Emily never physically leaves the asylum, her mind is able to escape the horrors of physical reality through astral projecting into the astral worlds. In the various astral worlds, she defeats evil forces to deliver her plan to fruition. Sucker Punch explores astral projection and the astral worlds.

The 2011 Box Office is moving toward the metaphysics and astral concepts. I find astral travel/astral projection films to be rather interesting. What type of astral films would you like? Thanks for reading. .
