Join us October 24th at noon for a special free screening of The Witches (1990) at the Hamilton Theater! Sponsored by Hedge Witch Farms, this event is free and open to the public, one of the theater’s many community-focused events.1 Every child’s admission also includes entry in a raffle for gift basket including a hardcover copy of Roald Dahl’s classic book, on which the film is based, and a plush stuffed mouse, plus a $25 gift certificate for Hedge Witch Farms for their parent or caregiver!
From its Wikipedia entry: “The Witches is a 1990 dark fantasy film directed by Nicolas Roeg from a screenplay by Allan Scott and based on Roald Dahl’s novel of the same name. The film stars Anjelica Huston and Mai Zetterling and concerns evil witches who masquerade as ordinary women and follows an orphaned boy and his grandmother, who must find a way to foil their plot of ridding the world of children.”
A dark fantasy indeed, I remember being a bit unnerved by this movie as a child, and absolutely in awe of Anjeclica Houston— she’s iconic!
Check out the trailer below, and join us October 24th at noon for this fun event!
- Long before Hedge Witch Farms, in what feels like another lifetime, I was the GM of the Hamilton Theater. I have long had a soft spot for this community treasure, and this feels like a wonderfully “full circle” moment! ↩︎
