As children, we all feared basements for one reason or another, cause let’s be real: basements are essentially portals to hell.
Since basements are cold and dark (and generally avoided unless absolutely necessary), they are the perfect places to commune with demons, hide your mother’s mummified corpse, and/or impregnate chained up women to create babies to sell on the black market.
In the Halliwell Manor, the basement is home to a shadow demon called the “Woogy Man”, who aside from being a terrifying and malevolent ghoul, also has catch phrases such as “Don’t be jealous of my woogy” and “how you woo-in” (he is a Wendy Williams-type in another dimension).
This episode of Charmed also sees Phoebe finally gain a (temporary) active power. After being possessed by the Woogy Man, she can magically conjure large blunt force objects such as baseball bats and machetes to murder her sisters. She’s also kind of serving evil gay slut bitch energy and we love that for her.
It’s also fun to think about how if Phoebe actually DID murder her sisters with a machete, she could simply shrug her shoulders and sing the tune “Don’t blame it on the sunshine, don’t blame it on the moonlight, don’t blame it on the good times, blame it on the Woogy.”
