The ghost of (the GOP’s) Christmas Past. (Glad we can say Christmas again)

Tonight, we talk about Nosferatu (2024). Join us as we sink out teeth into this Eggers’ film.

This movie wrecked me! The tragedy evoked is so palpable. Although it takes place in an era long gone, the story weighs heavy in contemporary society. @realgdt.bsky.social This is a masterpiece in cinematic storytelling.

Backlash against women in workforce? No way. NYT going retro 1987. Next do: Are secret Satanic rituals being performed at America’s preschools? (And if so, can traditional stay at home moms save kids?)

The Mogwai will return in November 2027! Warner Bros. has announced that Gremlins 3 is officially in the works. Chris Columbus is set to direct, with Steven Spielberg returning to produce. Read more: www.empireonline.com/movies/news/...

Saying goodbye to Pauline Collins. She played one of my favorite female characters searching for joy and a purpose after kids. Some women turn to witchcraft. Others just move to Greece. Safe travels Pauline. What is remembered lives.

Let me get this straight. As we head into the holiday season, the cost of our gatherings will be higher. The food will cost more. The gifts, burden with tariffs, will be higher. The cost of electricity to keep the lights on the CHRISTMAS (I said it) tree, will be highter. / 1

someone invited people magazine to the kitchen and they brought their own knives

How about an evening jump scare that isn’t political?! Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween and Blessed Samhain everyone!!

Day 31 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival Wicked (2024) Were you even surprised? The story captures the essence of witch & her plight in our society. Wicked is of our time, just as it was of its time when Maguire wrote the book. "Everyone deserves a chance to fly!" Wicked: For Good coming soon.

Day 30 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival The Love Witch (2015) This indie film sneaks it's way into many a "Top 5" witch films every time I ask. If you haven't seen it, be prepared for magic, ritual, murder, and campy good fun.

Tonight the Witches Movie Coven will be talking about Halloween memories, costumes, candy and our favorite Halloween movies. Join us for a Halloween Holiday special. 9pm EST On You Tube.

Day 29 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival The Witch (2015) If you have not seen Robert Eggers' The Witch, stop what you are doing & watch. He weaves a haunting tale of religious extremism, fairy tale fantasy, & female empowerment. And... then there is this goat. A top ranked movie and witch film.

Day 28 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival Spirited Away (2001) Back to animation. Spirited Away is a breathtaking movie by Hayao Miyazaki. It's got not 1 but 2 witches in it and it tops many film lists - not just the witchy ones. Spirited Away is a great film for this time of the year.

Day 27 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival Carrie (1976) A Witch film? Some some yes. It's a 70s horror classic and one that many folks have their witchy horror go to lists. There was a sequel in the 90s and a remake more recently. Nothing is like the original.

Day 26 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival The Blair Witch (1999) The Blair Witch was a breakout success with its found footage narrative. It made a ton of viewers sick but for many its still a go to witch film with all Y2K vibes.

Day 25 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival Charmed (1998-2006) Yet again, the 1990s come through with another Witchy TV favorite. The Charmed show was a big success during the time and has led to a short-lived remake (2018)

Day 24 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival Wicker Man (1973) While not a movie that we think of necessarily in October, it is certainly a top ranking "witch" film despite its lack of witches. It has Pagans and magic. That is close enough. Plus it is a cult classic folk horror film.

If the White House is the people’s house, should there be a massive class action lawsuit against Trump for destroying our property? Asking for a friend … or friends?

Day 23 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival Haxen (1922) I'm always suprised when Haxen is the answer to favorite witch films. But every so often this silent film by Benjamin Christensen makes the cut. If you haven't seen it, add it to your list. It's weird. It's old. But it's a cinematic classic.

Day 22 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival Scooby Doo & the Witch's Ghost (1999) Yes, this Scooby Doo movie makes many people's top witchcraft movie and is a good October family film. The band in the film is called the "Hex Girls."

Tonight we talk Weapons (2025) and witchcraft. Join us live at 9pm

Day 21 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival Sinners (2025) Brand new films don't often make top lists, but I'm adding Sinners to this year's film festival. It is an amazing triumph of a film that is already a fan favorite. And Annie (played by Wunmi Mosaku) practices Hoodoo.

Day 20 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival The Addams Family (1964-66) The original show did run very long but its legacy both past and future are nearly unmatched. (FYI: We now have the Wednesday steaming series.) And Morticia never escapes those pesky lists of favorite pop culture witches.

Day 19 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival I Married a Witch (1942) This film is an oldie but a goody based on the pulp novel "The Passionate Witch." Veering from its source material, the movie doesn't include a blood sacrifice but it is a fun comedy with Veronica Lake and Frederic March.

Day 18 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival Eve's Bayou (1997) Eve's Bayou may not be on Halloween lists, but it's always mentioned when I ask folks for their favorites. Definitely a must see. (I'm catching up after a busy weekend)

A criminal who incited a violent insurrection and brags about running and winning in 2028 and is building a $250 million White House ballroom is a man who doesn't plan on leaving. Trump is going to stay in office until he dies. Should be clear to everyone but we normalized it.

Interstellar’s second life: how Christopher Nolan’s most divisive film became his most loved

I'm giving an online talk for Warner Library in the US (the library that serves Sleepy Hollow) for Halloween this year. It's on Monday 28 October at 7pm their time (midnight in the UK) and it is FREE! You can book a place here: warnerlibrary.org/2025/09/29/z... #scoobydoo #libraries #folklore

The antisocial penguin doing his best at no Kings protest.

We’re in the middle of a nationwide frog costume supply chain crisis. Thanks, Trump.

And Georgia won’t be let Portland have all the fun. Seen in Marietta

The early estimates coming out of Roswell/Marietta GA are 10,000 protesters.

Frogs for freedom. #NoKings

Day 17 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival Kiki's Delivery Service (1989) This Hayao Miyazaki film is popular with Studio Ghibli and anime fans the world over. The cute little witch, who turns broom flying into a career, always turns up on Oct lists. WMC episode: www.youtube.com/live/nVWktoH...

Day 16 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival Elvira: Mistress of Evil (1988) I am always surprised when this throwback film gets mentioned among as a top witch movies. But Elvira has a powerful, adoring fanbase who keeps this movie alive to this day. WMC episode: www.youtube.com/live/P7XemID...

Day 15 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival Practical Magic (1999) A movie that tops lists by modern practitioners, Practical Magic is a rom-com with a midnight margarita twist. Coming in Fall 2026 will be Practical Magic 2. WMC episode: www.youtube.com/live/UuSw4Kc...

Practical Magic (1999). This is a top ranking witch movie. If you are free tonight at 9pm ET, join us in our live discussion of this landmark witch film.

Day 14 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival Sabrina the Teenage Witch (1996-2003) There are many incarnations of Sabrina the Teenage Witch but this 90s version rings all the nostalgia bells. The show ran for 7 seasons & always gets a mention when I ask for favorite witch shows.

Day 13 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival American Horror Story: Coven (2013-14) The AHS season of the witch explored a mash-up of witchcraft in culture & remains a fan fave. It didn't hurt to have guest appearances by Patti Lapone & Stevie Nicks joining its other stars (e.g. Lange, Bates, Bassett).

Day 12 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival The Owl House (2020-2023) A new offering in the witchcraft TV world, Disney's "The Owl House" got a quick following and turns up often on people's witchy watching lists. Luz is voiced by Sarah Nicole Robles who also voiced Senora Ozma in "Encanto"

Respect to those who got here first.

The movement is growing.

After seeing the protests in Portland, this is clearly the girlfriend of the founder of Antifa.

Day 11 of the 2025 Witch Film Festival The Wizard of Oz (1939) No big surprise that this film makes top 10 lists year after year! (It tops my list.) Both Glinda & the Wicked Witch are standard bearers of witch representation in the US. WMC episode: www.youtube.com/live/Q4ya8vr...

Omg!!!
