Description
Oddball Films and guest curator Lynn Cursaro present Winter of the Witch and Other Tales of Possession and Enchantment featuring a coven full of maternal, malevolent, saucy, sweet and hippie-dippie witches to ring in Halloween weekend. The charming Winter of the Witch (1969) presents us with a mischievous old dear who is eager to share the delicious secret of happiness. Georges Méliès’s pioneering cinema of visual magic is the perfect vehicle for a pair of hellzapoppin’ otherworldly shenanigans: The Inn Where No Man Rests and The Witch’s Revenge, (both 1903). The Occult: X-Factor or Fraud (1973), examines the groovy Woodstock-era resurgence of the dark arts. Witchcraft’s time-tested power is pitted against Woody Woodpecker's madcap cartoon mojo in Witch Crafty (1955). And the devil gets his due in appropriately fleshy style in two sinful oddities: 1920s era stag marvel The Devil and Betty Dolan's endearingly strange mid-century burlesque in Satan-Tease. More is stewing in the Oddball cauldron, so hop on your broom and make sure to be there! And as always, complimentary home-baked treats appropriate to the season for all.Date: Friday, October 26, 2012 at 8:00PM.
