It’s intractable imps, saucy sorceresses, and weird women on this episode of Genre Grinder, all falling in love and putting their spell on unsuspecting men. Join Gabe and returning guest Luana Saitta as they look at three entries in the surprisingly prevalent subgenre of movies where men accidentally marry witches or women, who, unbeknownst to their husbands, become witches.


This month’s titles include René Clair’s I Married a Witch (1942), based on the novel The Passionate Witch by Thome Smit & Norman H. Matson (1941), Richard Quine’s Bell, Book, and Candle (1958), based on the 1950 play by John Van Druten, and Sidney Hayers’ Night of the Eagle (aka: Burn, Witch, Burn, 1962), based on the novel Conjure Wife by Fritz Leiber (1943/52).
