A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Another reason why women were targeted in medieval Europe is that men wanted to take over the brewing business, which was traditionally a women's role. The witch's hat was originally associated with brewing:

@tim I just might cue it up for tonight. I also have to figure out what to watch with my 14 year old son. Something just at the level of *almost* too scary to be inappropriate for a young teen?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:43am tim from champaign (now washington):

@ParUbi - Babadook might be a good choice. Definitely some good chills in there but not too graphic or terror filled. I remember seeing The Shining on tv as a young teen and loving it. I don't know if that crosses the threshold for your son.
Avatar 11:45am SSS:

When I was a kid in kibbutz camp, they showed a movie called Homicidal. Never heard of it since, but it was pretty scary then. Not really a Halloween film, more of a horror flick.

Thinking of it now, really it was the camp experience as a whole that was terrifying.

@Tim I think it may finally be time for the Shining! He's already a bit spoiled because of "Ready Player One," though.
