The Craft (1996) & The Craft: Legacy (2020)

This year's Wool-Shift-Dust Halloween special is keeping with the season of the witch, flashing back to Elysia and her friend Katherine's high-school days with the girls-will-be-girls horror classic The Craft (1996) – plus, for the full context, the 2020 sequel / reboot The Craft: Legacy. (We watched that film so you don't have to...but here are some reasons you might want to anyway.)

We start with a spoiler-free discussion the production and impact of these movies, plus our overall feelings, before plunging into spoilers for first the original film (00:31:09) and then the new one (01:14:44).

Check out Katherine's writing, photography, and other projects:
