NIGHT SIXTEEN: 🎃 BONUS #2 🎃 Burn, Witch, Burn (1962)

BURN, WITCH, BURN (aka NIGHT OF THE EAGLE)

(1962, dir. Sidney Hayers, 90 min.)

Starring Peter Wyngarde and Janet Blair

Somewhat mirrors the current struggle for academic freedom amidst the MAGA shakedown of higher ed, with the forces of witchcraft scheming to take down a skeptical psych prof (played with surprisingly believable squareness by future '70s camp icon Peter Wyngarde) and his wife (Janet Blair), who's been secretly hiding magical charms and wards around their house to protect him.
