This Halloween kickoff dives broom-first into the witch trials you didn’t learn in school. From England’s petty Pendle drama to Germany’s mass-burning madness, Sweden’s child-accused chaos, Scotland’s storm-summoning scandal, and Iceland’s scholarly sorcerers (mostly men, surprise!) — it’s a whirlwind of paranoia, torture, and political power plays. We poke at “witch’s marks” (yes, even extra nipples), unpack royal freakouts, and spotlight how superstition shaped centuries of horror. History’s wild, and this episode’s got receipts.
