As a child, the idea that a boy mouse can save the world from witches seems empowering and plausible, while the specter of being trapped in a painting-never to experience life- presents a greater threat. As an adult, fears change to those of a caretaker sheltering the fragility of our children. This Screen Scares episode looks at how fear can be planted in children, and how fear can evolve over time through a discussion of the 1990 adaption of the Roald Dahl novel, The Witches. Listen, but whatever you do, don’t eat the soup.

-Watch The Witches (1990) with kids in your life who aren't too bothered by scary puppets, but are interested in seeing kids save the world.
Work Screen- The Witches (1990) could be a novel and insightful viewing experience for work settings, because of its depiction of convention life and blindly following leaders.
