Amanda and Sarah choose a neutral color palette for two stories about a folkloric crone and mysterious light. Sarah goes all witchy again with the legend of Black Annis, a cannibalistic witch-like figure from Leicester, England. Amanda heads to North Carolina for the history of the Brown Mountain Lights. Other subjects covered include a spooky survey, a fictional clothing line, and a new pet camera.
Recommendations:
Amanda recommends the Dario Argento film Deep Red.
