Ack! It seems inevitable that horror writers present colonial witchcraft as a battle of good versus evil with the witch-finders as the good and the accused as the evil, when if anything it was the reverse. Ah well, I guess I can always hunt up a copy of Arthur Miller's THE CRUCIBLE as a palliative...
ReplyDeleteThat aside, in & of itself, the story was all right. It goes through it genre steps with assurance and I guess I can credit Don Glut for treating the African-american character with respect and acceptance. Lakota does get a touch of otherness to make her an exotic beauty, but at least Spektor doesn't call her something like Pocahantas this time.
Yeah I enjoy these tales quite a bit. Jesse Santos was such a good artist I always enjoy his tales. Glut is still working today. I have always enjoyed his work as well.
ReplyDeleteThe fil Witchfinder General was a great example of what you talked about in the first paragraph. One of Vincent Price's greatest film roles.
The Film is what I meant to type
