Night of the Eagle aka Burn, Witch, Burn (1962), Eyes of Fire (1983), Pyewacket (2017) Welcome to Episode 48, where we 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. In some, the craft is done for good, while others lean to the 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's not only one of the oldest, it has also crossed into many other genres, from romance, fantasy, comedy and others. 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 witchy titles.
