Today's episode is Part I of WITCHCRAFT - featuring Season of the Witch, written + directed by George A. Romero - a true inspiration for the witch movies which follow - everyone from The Craft which lifts direct scenes to the totally unique and campy pulp of The Love Witch (Part II of this series), a true feminist exploration of the role of women in a patriarchal society and what tools they need to break free from their cages.
