not considered fantastic, actually contain all the elements of magic & witchcraft. In "Gaslight", Charles Boyer did not stick pins into a doll, but aside from that his method of driving Bergman mad was not different from that of the witch doctor. He could have killed Bergman in exactly the same way. In "guest in the House", the psychotic girl was no less a witch than is a naked savage in Haiti, & her results were just as diabolical. Whether or not your witchcraft includes wax, fingernail clippings, & a lock of hair, is purely a matter of definition. The girl in the movie put a hex on the house by a few words, just the same as a hag from the hills would do it by an incantation. The important thing is that authors do not merely dream up these stories of one person influencing another thru suggestion. These are things which have happened & are happening all the time, as Seabrook illustrates in his book. Witchcraft is actually as prevalent as Fritz Lieber suggested in "Conjure Wife". The dolls & pins aren't apparent in polite society, but the intent is there. Exciting, isn't it? ______________________________________ hubba hubba ______________________________________ You are reading (you lucky people, you) the 13th issue of YHOS, sweated out on the GFU Mimeo by the Widners, Art, (just made cpl) Ruth, Pete, & Dave, at 87 Colonial Rd, No Weymouth 91, Mass.
