Happy Halloween! This is our annual Halloween Extravaganza episode, and this year, it is extravagant. Jasmine, Dana and Joy discuss the costuming and historical context for three of their favorite Witchy Halloween movies: The Witch (2015), The Craft (1996) and Hocus Pocus (1993)! While all the movies star witches, they are very different types of witches in very different time periods and their costumes reflect that. The discussions ended up being very in-depth, so here are the timestamps for each film: The Witch 7:45, The Craft: 56:00, Hocus Pocus 1:24:00. Fashion A-Z: Doublet: Period 14th century - 1670s.
