My favourite movies about witches (part 2)

"Bedknobs and Broomsticks" (1971): Eglantine Price, a witch apprentice, hosts in her house three siblings from London because of the war. Wanting to use her powers to save England from the N***s, Eglantine travels with the children on a magical bed to find her teacher, professor Emelius Brown. Adventures, animated animals, songs and Angela Lansbury as the main witch, adorable!

The Love Witch (2016): Elaine wants nothing more that find a man who love her. Unfortunately, everyone of her lovers dies. Is Elaine a killer? Did they kill themselves? Is a consequence of the use of magic in the matters of the heart? Watch it to find out.

"I married a Witch" (1942) : Jennifer and her father Daniel comes backs as spirits many centuries after their deaths. Determined to have their revenge, the two finds Wallace Wooley, descendant of the man who denounce them, and Jennifer decide to make him fall in love with the help of a love potion, but it's Jennifer who drink it! Can true love be stronger than witchcraft?

"Bell, Book and Candle" (1958): the witch Gillian Holroyd, on Christmas Eve, met her new neighbor Shep Henderson. After meeting Shep's fiancée, her college enemy Merle, Gillian put a love spell on the man, with the help of her aunt Queenie and her brother Nicky. But can a love born from magic have a future?

"The girl on the broomstick" (1972): a Czechoslovak movie about the young witch Saxana, who escaped from her school to the human world for 44 hours. There she befriend the teenager Honza, but even three delinquents. And a simple spell will costs her many troubles.

"The witches of Eastwick" (1987): three friends, Alexandra, Jane and Sukie, use their unknows powers to summon their "ideal men". One by one, they falls for the new man in town, the mysterious Daryl, who is also...the Devil!

The Girl on the Broomstick [Dívka na koštěti] (1972)

Honey, if becoming mortal means trading in your absolutely phenomenal hairdo for that mod nightmare we were subjected to in the last scene, even discovering true love isn’t worth it. Saxana stands out from the motley crew of witches and warlocks with her bouncy auburn locks, always perfectly curled even if she was a cow just moments earlier. The costume and production designers have some cheeky fun with her outfit, all gauzy black material and bone accents and strappy boots. They find excuses for her dress to get shorter and shorter until it’s practically as scandalous as the insane nurse miniskirt which is apparently the uniform at the local psych ward. The design of the witchy world has a wonderful haunted house quality. Bones are everywhere, and everything seems to be contained in some musty basement of a castle somewhere remote. Cobwebs drape over the arched rafters. Gnomes rove the halls bitching about dragons. It clashes gleefully with urban Czechoslovakia, a much more grounded world where yet people seem to have absolutely no qualms about doctors getting turned into cows or the local hooligans sprouting rabbit ears. Life behind the Iron Curtain sure was wild.

THE RULES

SIP

Someone says ‘Saxana’.

Napoleon is mentioned.

Saxana casts a spell.

Someone names a mythical creature.

BIG DRINK

Stretchy arm shenanigans.

The bullies break a promise.

Saxana’s skirt gets shorter.

FANFICTION: Weasley Twins x Reader (Slytherin Girl) - Part 26

WARNINGS: British swearing

You, Fred, and George stroll cheerily down the hall together. At some point, an unspoken agreement is made and the three of you start skipping in unison. Your laugh echos throughout the halls. You're so happy that you feel like you could jump up into the air and start flying about without the assistance of a broom. Just when you're beginning to believe that nothing could ruin your mood, you turn a corner and almost plow into Professor Umbridge.

"Oh!" Umbridge exclaims, stumbling a few steps back.

"Sorry, Professor!" you quickly apologize in hopes that it will save you and the twins from detention. "We didn't see you there..."

Umbridge smiles tightly and straightens her feathery, light pink hat. "Obviously not." She brushes down her matching pink cardigan and skirt. "And where are you all coming from?"

"The vivarium," you reply smoothly. You had already rehearsed the lie many times in your head in case of an encounter such as this. The vivarium is right across from the Room of Requirement, so, unless she had somehow seen you exit the Room, your answer would give Umbridge no reason to be suspicious. "I just adore magical creatures!" You give her an ecstatic smile for added effect, and you see in your peripheral vision Fred and George exchanging a look over your head.

Umbridge blinks. "Ah. And are you aware that you are late for class?"

"Yes," you sigh. You pull an exasperated expression and nod in George's direction. "This one accidentally knocked over a cage of Cornish Pixies and they all got loose!"

"I—!" George starts to defend himself, but you quickly grind the heel of your shoe into the toe of his. George goes silent.

"As I said, it was an accident. I'm glad we were able to clean it all up as fast as we did," you chuckle sheepishly.

"I'm assuming that means everything is back in order?" Umbridge asks, checking her watch.

"Yes, Ma'am," you reply stoutly. "I made sure of—"

She waves a hand impatiently. "Yes, yes, fine, fine. Off to class now." Professor Umbridge quickly shuffles past you and the twins and continues on her way.

After a few moments of waiting for Umbridge to be out of earshot, Fred pokes you in you in the side teasingly. "Wow, y/n, I think that's the first time I've ever heard you fib!"

You slap his hand away, giggling. "No, it's not. I'm just so good at it that you didn't realize when it was happening."

"Really?" Fred asks curiously. He seems a bit concerned.

"Yeah," George answers for you as he massages the end of the shoe you stepped on. "It was when she called you handsome."

You and Fred laugh. It was as much of an insult to George as it was to Fred, seeing as how they are identical twins.

"Sorry, but I don't quite remember y/n ever calling me handsome," Fred says, pretending to wipe a tear from under his eye.

"Really? Well, we'd better fix that!" you snort.

Fred and George both cock an orange eyebrow as you make a show of quickly combing your fingers through your hair and clearing your throat in preparation.

"Oh, Fred! You're so handsome!" you swoon, dramatically putting the back of your hand to your forehead like an actress would.

To your surprise, only George laughs. Fred wears a critical expression. He shakes his head.

"You're almost there," Fred says. "But it's more like this." He proceeds to reenact your hand motion, and then faints on top of George who exclaims in alarm, barely catching him. After a few seconds, Fred opens his eyes and stares dreamily up at George (who's still holding him).

"Fred?" Fred says to George. "I-Is that you?"

"'Tis I, y/n," George replies, looking down at Fred with smoldering eyes. "Your knight in shining... I'm sorry, you're bloody heavy," George laughs, breaking character, and drops Fred. Fred lets out a girlish scream as he falls to the floor.

You clap your hands enthusiastically in applause, howling with laughter.

"That was just brilliant!" you try to say sarcastically, but you're still laughing.

"Thank you, thank you," Fred huffs as he gets to his feet and brushes his robes off. "Now it's your turn." He opens his arms in offering, and you giggle.

"I don't think so. We best be getting off to class now," you say in a lousy Umbridge impersonation.

"But class has got to be 'bout halfway done by now," says George. "I don't see a point in going."

Fred nods. "Agreed."

The twins turn to stare at you, waiting for your own agreement. After a moment of you staring back with no other reaction, they pull out their ultimate weapon: the goofy, toothy, crooked grin.

You can't help but smile and you groan, covering your face with both hands in giddy embarrassment as you blush.

"C'mon, y/n," Fred encourages, moving to wrap his arm around your shoulders slyly.

George does the same on your other side. "Life's made for livin'!" He clicks his tongue. "Say, how often do you fly?"

You peek out from between your fingers curiously. "Never."

Fred and George immediately lock eyes with each other and share a knowing smirk. "Guess we know what we're gonna do," they chuckle in unison.

You must face the age of not believing Doubting everything you ever knew Until at last you start believing There's something wonderful in you

Dame Angela Lansbury, who died at her home today in Los Angeles at the age of 96, is perhaps best known today as Jessica Fletcher in the acclaimed TV series Murder, She Wrote and in the Broadway stage plays and musicals in significant parts that Hollywood never gave her. But well before that, the Irish-British transplant to America (she and her family left Britain at the height of Nazi Germany’s bombing campaign of her home nation) made her career as mostly a character actress during the Golden Age of Hollywood. She may not have been a major star billed at the top of marquees and movie posters during her time while contracted to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), but she would come to be a recognizable figure to audiences of multiple generations – whether she might be playing a tough saloon owner with a belter of a singing voice, a schoolteacher just making ends meet, Elvis’ mother (despite a nine-year age difference), princesses and queens, the amoral and scheming wife of a political candidate, an emotionally manipulative mother, or a teapot matriarch.

She stepped onto a movie soundstage for the first time at seventeen years of age, while making Gaslight (1944) for MGM. Because she was still technically a minor, she had to be accompanied by a social worker while working on set. Despite this, director George Cukor and her co-stars (including Ingrid Bergman) treated her as equals, all of them recognizing right away her professionality and acting ability. Perhaps producers and studio executives might not have done the same, saddling her so often with character roles, but Lansbury – by all accounts – extended that same kindness Cukor and Bergman afforded to her to so many others over the decades, leaving a legacy that goes beyond whatever personal disappointments she may have had over the more considerable roles she never got to play.

Her distinction as Hollywood royalty came later in life, as our connections of Hollywood’s Golden Age are almost all gone.

Nine of the films Angela Lansbury appeared in follow (left-right, descending):

Gaslight (1944) – directed by George Cukor; also starring Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotten, and Dame May Whitty

The Harvey Girls (1946) – directed by George Sidney; also starring Judy Garland, John Hodiak, Ray Bolger, Preston Foster, Virginia O’Brien, Kenny Baker, Marjorie Main, Chill Wills, Selena Royle, and Cyd Charisse

The Three Musketeers (1949) – directed by George Sidney; also starring Lana Turner, Gene Kelly, June Allyson, Van Heflin, Frank Morgan, and Vincent Price

The Court Jester (1955) – directed by Melvin Frank and Norman Panama; also starring Danny Kaye, Glynis Johns, Basil Rathbone, and Cecil Parker

The Manchurian Candidate (1962) – directed by John Frankenheimer; also starring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, and Janet Leigh

Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971) – directed by Robert Stevenson and Ward Kimball; also starring David Tomlinson, Roddy McDowall, Sam Jaffe, John Ericson, Cindy O’Callaghan, Ian Weighill, and Roy Snart

Death on the Nile (1978) – directed by John Guillermin; also starring Peter Ustinov, Jane Birkin, Lois Chiles, Bette Davis, Mia Farrow, Jon Finch, Olivia Hussey, I.S. Johar, George Kennedy, Simon MacCorkindale, David Niven, Maggie Smith, and Jack Warden

Beauty and the Beast (1991) – directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise; also starring Paige O’Hara, Robby Benson, Richard White, Jerry Orbach, David Ogden Stiers, Rex Everhart, Jesse Corti, and Bradley Pierce

Mary Poppins Returns (2018) – directed by Rob Marshall; also starring Emily Blunt, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer, Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh, Joel Dawson, Julie Walters, Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, David Warner, and Dick Van Dyke

This is my third and probably final Halloween themed piece. I wanted to do something different this time, specifically something that you can find on a cute Halloween card. I decided to do a witch and her little pumpkin spirit familiar. I really like how her design came out so I may do a bonus piece featuring her.

Happy Halloween everyone!

As always comments and critiques are welcome.
