Vox Macabre

The Witch. The Wrectched. Twins of Evil

Episode Summary

In this haunting episode of Vox Macabre, Kit Mann delves into the chilling realms of witchcraft and the supernatural with an exploration of three distinct horror films that push the boundaries of fear. First, we uncover the unnerving mythology of The Witch (2015), Robert Eggers' masterclass in atmospheric terror, exploring isolation, paranoia, and sinister forces in colonial New England. Then, we journey into The Wretched (2019), a modern tale of folkloric horror where a young boy faces a malevolent entity that feeds on fractured families. Finally, Hammer Horror's Twins of Evil (1971) offers Gothic splendor and vampiric seduction, with Peter Cushing leading the charge in this classic tale of good versus evil. Join us as we dissect the creative minds behind these films, unravel the lore and themes at their core, and spotlight fascinating behind-the-scenes stories that make them unforgettable. Whether it’s Puritan dread, ancient curses, or Gothic tragedy, this episode promises to immerse you in a world where witches, wretches, and the undead reign supreme.
