Witch 1: Double, Double toil and trouble;
Macbeth's Witches have seized Hailey's internet bubble!
We come to teach you candidates,
The proper way to procrastinate!
Witch 2: Boy, you know all that rhyming stuff gets exhausting. I mean of course, we've been doing it since the 1600s, but we're really making an attempt to modernize and reach a larger audience this century.
Witch 3: So we're gonna pen this post in the modern slang-ed English you foul mouthed cretins are so fond of.
First up on the recommendation list, we've got Oculus.

| You see what it wants you to see. |
This R-Rated horror film chronicles the journey of two young-adult siblings as they try to uncover the truth about their parents' deaths and rid the world of the evil demon responsible. This movie will confuse you to no end. You'll never know what's actually real! Character's actions are often not of their own accord. The things they see are usually just demonic influenced interpretations of real events. This film pits family member against family member; full of blood and terror, it's fun for the whole witch cult!
Witch 2: Next up on the queue, we've got One Day, the London-set romance based on David Nicholls' fabulous novel.

| Em and Dex. Dex and Em. |
It's the story of two best friends and their developing relationship over the course of twenty years. Each scene is from the same day (July 15) in a different year (hence the title). Emma and Dex experience lots of change in the movie: relationships, jobs, locations, aspirations, family loss/addition. But throughout their lives, one thing ceases to change: their love for one another. Fate, in the end, brings them together.
Witch 3: You're leaving out the part at the end there where their fate-
Witch 2: SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!! Let's just say the movie contains some of those darker, sinister, HEARTBREAKINGLY TERRIBLE elements that we are so fond of.
(Note: Hailey may or may not have just watched this movie last week after completely devouring the book and may or may not have cried for a really really long time. Still may or may not be crying internally.)
Witch 1: Enough of all that, the keyboard is mine,
I'll give you kids a real good time.
Coming at ya now: rec number three,
Five seasons of paranormal activity!
Witch 2: What my dear witch sister MEANS to say, in the most modern way, is that our third recommendation is the thrilling "reality" television show Ghost Adventures.
The show takes our three ghost hunters, Nick, Zak, and Aaron, all over America to its most haunted locations. The boys then lock themselves in with all the demonic ghouls for the night and, using all their incredibly scientific technology, set out to discover the nature of the spirits which plague the place. The show gives us a lot of inspiration and helps us make our apparitions more realistic.
Witch 3: Teaches us all the ridiculously stupid things humans will believe too. Moving on to the better-looking ghost/witch/ghoul hunting duo, we take a look at recommendation number four: Supernatural.

| Dean and Sam. Unless you're a Gilmore Girls fan... |
This ten season show will certainly keep you busy. It follows the very attractive Winchester Brothers across the country as they investigate paranormal events that sometimes hit a little too close to home. It's full of blood, gore, and violence and helps ease our homesickness for the demonic realm.
Witch 2: For our final recommendation, we bring you Safety Not Guaranteed.
![]() | |
| No sense in nonsense. |
This quirky independent comedy follows three cynical magazine employees as they investigate a strange guy searching for a partner to travel through time with him. Equal parts heart-warming and hilarious, this movie will make you feel things. What better choice for three women who write fate and the future than a movie all about time travel and changing your destiny?
All Witches: Well, that wraps up our recommendation list! Happy Binge-Watching IBers! (:






Hailey!! This is super cool! I love the witches telling me what to watch in a very supernatural way. I actually believed there were 3 witches typing up this blog (more or less)! This was such a breath of fresh air and was so unique (aka not Lady Macbeth). I was scared at first because I thought doing recommendations witches would be difficult but you blew it up, in a good way! I loved the One Day recommendation because romance movies almost always have that element of fate in them. It was so enlightening to see that fate tied in with the witches. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Molly! I did my best to give each of the witches their own personality. It was a little bit difficult but I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! I totally agree with you, romance movies do an excellent job of presenting supposed fate/destiny and giving us false expectations :P
DeleteI love how you chose the witches to write about and making them comment on each recommendation was a unique idea. I felt like this recommendation list does express the witches interests. Awesome blog!!
DeleteThank you, Muna! Glad you enjoyed it! (:
DeleteWow I love this! you have some very creative rhymes! I don't know if you noticed but in Safety Not Guaranteed there are three main characters. Three witches, three is a magic number! It may not be relevant in the actual show but that is a cool coincidence! I definitely agree with Molly that you did a good job of doing something original while still being creative. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteI definitely did not intend for that odd coincidence!! You just blew my mind. Thanks for the compliments (: glad you enjoyed the post!
