Night 12: The Witch – A Folk Horror Masterclass | 13 Nights fo Halloween
On Night 12 of our haunted countdown, we dive into the bleak, bone-chilling world of Robert Eggers' The Witch — a slow-burn folk horror masterpiece steeped in historical dread, religious paranoia, and a talking goat named Black Phillip. Join Tim and Johnathan, along with special guest filmmaker Adam Gall, as they break down this 2015 modern classic. We dig into the film's Puritanical roots, the real history behind the witch trials, and why Anya Taylor-Joy's debut as Thomasin still haunts us nearly a decade later. 🔥 We rate the film using our signature Average scoring system—story, scares, rewatchability, atmosphere, and more. You can score along with us using the templates on our Instagram! 🕯️ Topics include: • The role of isolation and grief in The Witch • Behind-the-scenes trivia and Eggers' obsession with historical accuracy • Black Phillip: GOAT or… goat? • The terrifying ambiguity of religious fear ✨ Be part of the conversation!
