9 Episodes, the 1980s, creepy kids, crazy dream hopping and ghosts with no face. This is the Haunting of Bly Manor. Based on the novella "The Turning of the Screw," Mike Flanagan attempts to take a ridiculously boring story, and spice it up for our viewing pleasure on Netflix. There were things we liked, things we didn't, and episodes that should have been reordered, but we'll leave it to you for the final verdict.

Must be the season of the witch! In this episode, we discuss our favorite parts of witch lore.
