49 - The Witches by Roald Dahl

Grab your Gran and let's go take out a coven! We return to the welcome arms of Roald Dahl but have some issues with the on-screen version. The creepy, dark streaks of Jim Hensen and Mr. Dahl produced a cult classic of a children's horror movie. Plus, we come up with as many children's horror movies and tv shows as we could come up with because it's definitely a genre that needs to be acknowledged. Jordan reveals her true feelings about campy movies and Emily divulges her weird love of them. Episode Drink: The Witch's Cocktail 1/2 oz vodka 1 1/2 oz raspberry schnapps 1/2 oz melon liqueur  1 oz club soda  2 oz lemon juice a splash lime juice a splash grenadine syrup Plenty of ice   Instructions Fill a collins glass with ice, and pour in the vodka, raspberry schnapps, melon liqueur and splash of lime juice. Pour in the lemon juice until the glass is 2/3 full and top off the glass with the club soda. Stir gently to mix, then add a splash of grenadine to serve.   Recipe From: AllRecipes.com     Our Drinking Game for this Story  Take a drink every time: The kid says "Grandma" A witches' eyes flash purple (or lightning can be seen in their eyes) The witches grovel and say "O brainy one!" or "O genius one!" A person is transformed into a mouse (sorry for this at the end of the movie)  And finish your drink when you're just done with the bad physical effects. They really just take you out of the moment of the movie.     Fantastic Reads: Jordan: Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood Em: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott     A Novel Adaptation was created by Emily Eppley and Jordan Redwine.
