Season of the Witch 2
* * *
Welcome back! Looking for some spooky season recommendations once you’re done with the serials? We’ve got some suggestions.
Max: The Witch (2015) is a good movie. It’s creepy enough without giving you nightmares, which I appreciated. The real world feel of it, the period piece that it is, played well into the deeper themes of the movie about the agency of women in the patriarchy. I highly recommend it. If you liked Heredity, you’ll enjoy The Witch.
Wes: My daughter is addicted to Disney Plus. After the obligatory rewatch of Hocus Pocus and the sequel, my daughter watched the new Goosebumps series all weekend when she watched TV. I didn’t expect to enjoy it, it’s obviously a show for teens, but there’s enough for parents to enjoy. The cast is really good even if the writing is a little corny at times.
Roy: I’ve watched it a billion times now, and I highly recommend AMC’s Interview with a Vampire. It’s a cool update of the Ann Rice novel and I get so wrapped up in it every time I watch it. I’m excited for the second season, but I’m weary that there was a cast member change between seasons.
VIV: Death Becomes Her is an old movie now, from 1992, about two lifelong rivals who fight over a man that neither of them really want. They both separately happen upon a potion that makes them live forever and then they kill each other, or try to. The movie has a lot of problems, I don’t really understand what he moral of the story is, but it’s funny and Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn are gorgeous in it.

Tonight:

Last Halloween, Kate and her daughter ate deer meat at a neighborhood block party that gave them primordial magic. Now, they make their way to the clearing in the woods where the witches celebrate under their moon.
Witch Moon: “If the two of them had been anywhere else, they might be mistaken for an average mother and daughter. They wore almost matching outfits; Kate wore a vest of many colors over a white sweater with form-fitting blue jeans, and Evelyn wore a denim skirt with a rainbow graphic on her white t-shirt under a vest that looked like her mothers. But there among the witches, the two were wild versions of themselves.”

Things are looking bad for the heroes as the Witch Moon shines on. Wazad contacts Issac Washington hoping to unlock the powers of the Samin Seer, but is Gregory ready to step up?
Remarkable: “It would be funny if the entire world didn’t have to die along with Miriro. How can she be so shortsighted? The Witch Moon is obviously a ploy to take over Earth, it’s just too good to be true. A thousand days and nights of prosperity for witchkind under the green moon, it’s dumb. Why just a thousand? What happens after that?”

Wesley learns about a relative he’d never heard of before. But the new discovery comes with a strange reality. Can Wesley Livingston step foot in Richmond County, North Carolina?
Dialogues with the Witch: “…Albert Livingston, who was born in Ellerbe in July 1948, and he lived there until he died, about three years before your birth. They said he was a strange man, but when I met him just the one time he was the most charming man that I’d ever met in my life.”
