Sam has rules. Follow them. Do not piss off the tiny pumpkin child.🔪 Scream featuring Ghostface, questionable decision-making and absolutely nobody understanding the concept of LOCKING A BLOODY DOOR.👻 The Conjuring because why buy a lovely new-build when you can move your entire family into a house where Satan himself appears to have done the conveyancing?🏚️ The Cabin in the Woods which answers the age-old question: what if a relaxing weekend away was actually... ✨fucking dreadful✨?Expect horror trivia, nostalgia, arguments, tangents, questionable opinions and Nat and Lynds somehow turning a discussion about horror cinema into complete f*****g nonsense.🍿 Get your snacks. 🎃 Carve your pumpkins. 🕯️ Light your candles. 🚪 Lock your doors. 👻 Check behind you.And if you hear someone whispering your name from upstairs?No you f*****g didn’t.Tell us YOUR essential Halloween movie in the comments.PART TWO COMING SOON, WITCHES. 🔪🎃00:00 intro03:35 Ranking system05:54 It's all just a bunch of...20:09 Don't say his name 3 times whatever you do29:17 Stick to the rules or he's coming to get ya37:24 Do you like scary movies?50:02 Ed, Lorraine and bat shit Bathsheba59:48 Cabin holidays aren't what they used to be01:09:36 Abrupt ending#SuchAWitchPodcast #HalloweenMovies #HorrorMovies #SpookySeason #HocusPocus #Beetlejuice #TrickRTreat #Scream #TheConjuring #

Carved vegetable lanterns were associated with Halloween traditions in Ireland and Britain, while pumpkins became the familiar choice after the tradition developed in North America.Expect Halloween history, folklore, nostalgia, spooky facts and the usual Such a Witch chaos.Get your pumpkin.

    Let Me AXE You Something… Did Lizzie Borden Do It? Netflix vs Reality - Such a Witch Podcast Ep18

    🪓 LIZZIE BORDEN: AXES, MURDER & A VICTORIAN FAMILY MELTDOWN 🪓 ✨ https://linktr.ee/suchawitchpodcast This week on Such a Witch: The Podcast, Lyndsey and Nat are grabbing their emotional-support axes and heading back to Fall River, Massachusetts, for one of the most infamous murder mysteries in true-crime history. Lizzie Borden. Accused of murdering her father, Andrew, and stepmother, Abby, in 1892, Lizzie became the centre of a case so notorious that more than 130 years later we're STILL asking: DID SHE ACTUALLY BLOODY DO IT?! 🪓👀And with Netflix bringing the case back into the spotlight with Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, starring Ella Beatty as Lizzie, obviously we had to get involved. We’re diving into the real story behind Lizzie Borden, the murders, the evidence, the theories and the trial that turned her into one of history’s most infamous true-crime figures. And naturally, we’ll be comparing fact with Netflix’s gloriously dramatic interpretation because if there’s one thing television loves more than a Victorian murder, it’s adding a gigantic ladle of ✨DRAMA✨.So pour yourself something strong, hide the household tools and join us as we ask: 🪓 Who killed Andrew and Abby Borden? 🪓 Was Lizzie misunderstood, murderous or magnificently stitched up? 🪓 And exactly how uncomfortable can one Victorian household become before somebody reaches for the hardware? Alexa, play Cell Block Tango. Welcome to the Borden house, witches. 🔮🖤 #SuchAWitchPodcast #LizzieBorden #MonsterNetflix #MonsterTheLizzieBordenStory #NetflixMonster #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #LizzieBordenStory #UnsolvedMysteries #HistoricalTrueCrime #MurderMystery #SpookyPodcast #ParanormalPodcast #DarkHistory #VictorianCrime #WitchyPodcast #PodcastUK #TrueCrimeUK #NetflixSeries #RyanMurphy
