House of Movie Monsters is having a 3-day event at Facets in Chicago, on October 13th-15th, with vendors and movies screening all 3 days! If we weren’t going to be at Monster Bash in PA that weekend, we definitely would be there for all 3 days, so we are very bummed about that. But even though we can’t be there, we wanted to help get the word out because horror fans need to help promote each other!
Night of the Eagle aka Burn, Witch, Burn (1962), Eyes of Fire (1983), Pyewacket (2017)
Welcome to Episode 48, where we are about to discuss one of the oldest perceived monsters in our history . . . witches. But as we know in film, there are many different types of witches, therefore a lot of different types of witch movies. Some titles the craft is done for good, while there are others to use it for more of a darker side, maybe for a personal gain. And then there are those that are just plan evil.
Either way, this is a genre monster that not only is one of the oldest ones, it also has crossed into many other genres, from romance to comedies. But it doesn’t take away the power behind the sub-genre. So, sit down and make sure you have your favorite lucky charm with you, light a candle, or whatever you need to do for protection, as we delve into 3 different titles.
