In this special episode, Skye leads us on a deep dive into the history of witchcraft in media leading up to the era of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. From the Good Witch of the North to the technicolor terror of Suspiria, we trace how witches have evolved on screen from the early 1900s through the 1970s. We talk tropes, transformations, and the cultural fears that shaped it all. Whether glamorous, goofy, or downright ghoulish—these witches walked so Sabrina could run (in chunky heels, of course).
