    Many occultists are quite sensitive about this and he was probably upset at his misunderstanding of the lore, it is silly to think this was something they just told the kids to get them to behave when many women and men died as a result of these paranoias.

    How is Mark NOT the usual host? He's a natural. I love interviewers who really get the work, ask smart questions, and can articulate the effect the piece had on them. It's a pleasure to watch. The artist perks up out of rote mode. He also expertly handles Eggers' defensiveness over a question.

    He obviously doesn't believe in Witches. But he wanted you to sympathize with Puritans who really had those fears. I think Eggards is probably Christian and was pissed at the "Opiate of the Masses" remark, which I get, it is a condescending statement by Mao, a pretty violent anti-religious communist.

    Holo The Hogan Johnson really? I think it was plenty relevant considering the film is about puritans faith in relation to the fabled witch. Ellis wasnt asking him whether or not he makes his confessions and does a hail mary every day to get into heaven. He simply light-heartedly asked if theres any potential truth to these old stories.

    (spoiler alert) The ending for me was just too over the top. I would have enjoyed a much more cryptic ending with more thinking left for the viewers to decide. For me, the film was great in the first two acts but the third act was just too corny and silly. We could have had a film that made the viewer question everything they are seeing and always wonder if the evil in the film is really there or just a figment of imagination. (like the salem witch trials) Instead at the end the devil comes out and floating witches turns what could have been a masterpiece into an M. Night Shyamalan type ending.....which is horrible.
