Hold Your Horses, Warts and All
Witchfinder General
Hosted by Sean Frost and Tim Lehnerer
The Fiascos enjoy a nice period piece as much as anybody. The splendid manors, the elaborate dresses, the fetters of mannered company. But that’s the sort of movie we watched this time. Instead, it’s that sordid and barbaric look at a time of very uncivil acts, Michael Reeves’ Witchfinder General (1968). It’s not the Vincent Price performance you want; it’s the one you didn't know you needed.
