SUNDAY ON TCM: RETURN TO WITCH MOUNTAIN

Sunday at 4:00 PM, Turner Classic Movies will air the 1978 Disney flick RETURN TO WITCH MOUNTAIN, starring Christopher Lee and Bette Davis. It's not as sick as her last film, during which she died during shooting her role as a witch and was replaced by a black cat with someone doing a Bette-like voiceover. At one point, I believe they actually put a cigarette in the cat's mouth! I love Bette during all periods of her career, but like her arch rival Joan Crawfors, she made some pretty out there sci-fi/horror flicks towards the end. For more info on RETURN TO WITCH MOUNTAIN and even to watch a clip (I suggest the second I COMMAND YOU segment, where her delivery is insanely self-parodying) click HERE. And if love grande dames of the cinema playing Disney witches, Angela Lansbury's on at 6:00 PM in BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS.

THIS WITCH MOUNTAIN CLIP FEATURES A VILLAIN WITH BAD SKIN, MOLECULAR MOBILIZTION AND A CAGED GOAT!
