The Tale of the Twisted Claw

This week Mikie recounts the fourth episode of the first season of Are You Afraid of the Dark, The Tale of the Twisted Claw. In this episode a couple of thirteen year olds up to no good play an ill-advised prank on the local witch, causing her to break her own vase. Seeking ironic revenge on Halloween she gives them a dessicated animal claw instead of candy which is guaranteed to grant three wishes but none of their wishes work out quite the way they expect. This episode features home decor that offensive to Dave. Mikie is pretty sure his mom stole the idea for her own cottagecore aesthetic. Aileen sees her own future as the local witch living in a haunted house and it turns out that the mean streets of Winnipeg have a real bad gang problem. Don't forget to listen to Bryan and Dave on Bring Me The Axe! and 99 Cent Rental, Aileen on Uy Que Horror! and Mikie on The Rewatcher!
