This week on Something Witchy, we’re diving into the chaotic world of competitive high school dance moms with the Lifetime original movie Killing the Competition (2025), starring our favorite witch-turned-wild-parent, Melissa Joan Hart.
Inspired by “real events” (question mark heavily implied), this bonkers TV movie follows Elizabeth Fenwick, a mother so obsessed with reliving her glory days that she takes “dance mom” to horrifying new extremes—including sabotage, stalking, and kidnapping—all in the name of her daughter's high school dance team dreams.
Is it a Lifetime masterpiece or a hot mess? We’ve got thoughts, theories, and plenty of sarcastic asides.
