We continue "Spooky Month" at The Tape Store with the brilliant Jim Henson-produced film The Witches (1990). We have a blast talking about this film that's filled with so many memorable moments and rich characters. Join us as we discuss the adventures of one of our favorite film heroines, the witch hunter Helga (Mai Zetterling) and her grandson Luke (Jasen Fisher), along with other excellent players like the hilarious Herbert Jenkins (Bill Paterson), the irritable Mr. Stringer (Rowan Atkinson), the mysterious Ms. Irvine (Jane Horrocks), and of course, the iconic performance of Anjelica Huston as The Grand High Witch. We also spend some time comparing the endings of the film with the book (written by Roald Dahl) and sharing the powerful messages we found throughout the film.
