Witchfinder General

Many of the films of the British horror renaissance that started with Terence Fisher’s THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1957) seem better on paper or in stills than they are in execution. Some of that is due to the fact that what made them shocking in the ‘50s and ‘60s seems tame compared to contemporary horror films. All that trickling blood and all those heaving bosoms now look almost quaint. After facing numerous cuts to pass the British Board of Film Censors in 1968, Michael Reeves’ WITCHFINDER GENERAL (Shudder) can now be shown uncut with no objections. But it isn’t just the shock element in its time that has made the film an enduring favorite and arguably the best British horror film of the later 20th century. Reeves’ overall conception of the film’s world is one of rampant corruption and disorder that continues to resonate with contemporary politics. During the English Civil War, self-appointed witch hunter Matthew Hopkins (Vincent Price) travels through Southeast England torturing and executing those accused of witchcraft, often with no real evidence. There’s never any motivation given for the accusers. It’s seen as part of the chaos of the times. But Hopkins often acts out of lust, getting one girl (Hillary Dwyer) to sleep with him to save her uncle, only to turn around and have the man executed anyway. None of this sits well with Dwyer’s fiancé (Ian Ogilvy), a soldier in Cromwell’s army. Reeves knows how to stage a scene to maximum effect and use his framing to communicate his view of the action. The film opens with an old woman’s execution. After she’s hanged, the camera pans over the crowd as it disperses almost morosely. The excitement is over, but there’s no real release. They still live in a horrible world. Price gives one of his most restrained performances, which makes him much scarier than in his more camp outings, while Dwyer, in her feature debut, creates a surprisingly complex interpretation of a young woman who thinks she knows when to put on a mask to survive.

NSA HUMINT (Sniper)

KRIM: Michael Fargnoli, Charles Winston, Jack Winston, Jessica Long, Luke Charon, Ivan Tomasic, Richard Coughlin, John Willie. CATCH-22: OJ Simpson, Hunter S. Thompson, Stan Lee, Whitey Bulger, Elizabeth II, Marrisa Tomasic, George Jung, Harvey Weinstein, George Soros, Jair Bolsornos, Barack Obama, Duane Chapman, Hillary Clinton, Benjamin Netanyahu, Carlin Sarkesian, Phil Enfield, Keith Valesquez, Bob Becker, Don Bolin. RUN TIME: John Wilkes Booth, overcommand sergeant: John "Dwyer" Dipetro. ROGUE: Cyperpunk 2077 (TARGET: Police Teachers Association). COUNTER-TERROR: Joshua Moen, Matthew Lennox, Bernice Lamb, Benjamin "B-Rock" Carnegie, David Carlson.

David Charlebois (Japanese Yakuza):

George W. Bush, figured out I was the bookie cheat that broke the NFL and put Bellicheck in the Patriots, to defraud the League, so he put me in a double cheat, then planted me in German Intel, Comcast, during the War on Terror.

My job was to plant under, linking up with an operative hiding in MI-6 Canada (Alex Gaetano, Elle), as an assassin, pretending to be a Special Executive.

My job, was to eliminate each INTERPOL Lutheran working out of Scientology, ECT, AA, NA, and lobotomy clinics.

Her job, was to print me, while dispatching RCMP, physically and violently, to frame our unit command, a Jesuit named Matthew Lennox (Bill).

We’ve known each other since kindergarten, all three of us (Bill, Budd, Elle).

Alice Claire O’Neill (US Navy): 

Alice’s most notorious relative: Friedrich Nietzsche, distant cousin, deployed during German Reformation as Irish Mother Superior (British Espionage Agency, Shylock and Homes of Garters).

Father, prison warden, desirable gene; fatality, alcoholism, high level Buddhism mixed with court room politic of reform under missionary codes of police ineligibility (“busted”), fitting Red Owen O’Neill (the maternal ancestor out of Ireland).

Older brother, deceased as child, younger sister, surviving.  Castillian Spanish (Moorish Caucasian, "dexters”, right handed).

Superb performance in primary school, dropped out of college for Christian theology (despite devout morals) during first year, for military service; Franco-Prussian War, serving under Prussian forces, prior to integration by Otto von Bismarck of states of Holy Roman Empire, as Germany, under Prussian Hohenzollerns (Leipzigers, pediatrics specialists; allergies and media, of spy children, for infantry, lightfoots).

Contracted dementia from brothel time, cared for by Gast family; little sister, an anti-Semite, married the Gast, Peter, a Jew posing as an anti-Semite, to care for children’s lines and family in marriage, of those families affected by war (Jewish alms of military statehood).

Over his life, he had three sets of works; Grecian notes of how kung fu worked as Jewish Buddhists, his primary novels as a line of rule imprints to teach arcanums, "the dark arts”, of Egypt, and “The Will to Power”, collected notes intended to destabilize Canada, as payment for the "pastoral bund” movement, Ignatians (Nazis), to stop the flow east, with a westward purge, enacted a century later.

Echoes of our Past | February 10th 1923

Librarian Richard Forrest takes a look at news highlights published in The Echo 100 years ago this week.

Old Sores Can be Closed

General Richard Mulcahy, head of the armed forces, said that if those opposing the Free State would only come forward like men and admit that they had taken the wrong road, and lay down their arms, they would quickly be restored to the affection of the public. This would be such a massive and unexpected relief to the country that the sores that opened up in the last eight to ten months would close again in a month. 

President Cosgrave in London

President Cosgrave’s present visit to London is concerned with a multiplicity of departmental, legislative and financial matters which are passing from British Government to Irish control under the terms of the Treaty. He met Prime Minister Bonar Law at Downing Street this morning.

Shooting Near Midleton Yesterday

At about 6 o’clock last night a young man named John Wiggins was proceeding home to Ballinacurra in company with a National soldier named Lee. When the pair came to a rather quiet spot on the road revolver shots rang out and Wiggins was hit in the palm of his left hand where the bullet still remains. The two returned to Midleton where he was attended by Dr. P.J. O’Brien before removal to Midleton Hospital. The injured is an ex-National Army man having served in Midleton and Youghal. Elsewhere in east Cork, “Maryland” the property of the late Tom Donovan in Rostellan, was burned down last night. The residence was untenanted and devoid of furniture. 

Concealed Soldiers Shoot Raiders

During a raid on a Waterford sub-post office, soldiers who were concealed shot two of the raiders dead.

Cork Egg-Packers Strike

The striking egg-packers picketed even more stridently last night and prevented patrons from entering the bar of the Grosvenor Hotel. The hotel is a concern of Mr. J. Sullivan, one of the packers’ employers. Earlier they prevented provisions and parcels from being delivered to the Windsor Hotel nearby which also belongs to Mr. Sullivan. When interviewed, Mr. Sullivan said that neither of the hotels has the slightest connection with the egg business and in the case of the Grosvenor he is merely a shareholder. He said railway strikers may as well picket the businesses that use railways. There is no progress to report in the strike by Cork’s flour milling operatives.

Cork District Sessions

Daniel O’Keeffe of Eason’s Hill was charged by Guardsman Dwyer with having been drunk in the South Main Street at 9.45 pm on Friday. Kate Carroll, no fixed abode, was charged by Patrolman Bryant with a like offence on the Grand Parade. Both fined 2s. 6d.

Women’s Health Association

The Association met in the St. Vincent de Paul Hall on Queen Street (Fr. Matthew Street) on February 8th. Mrs. Maurice Healy in the Chair. The reports for December and January were read by Nurse Lyndon. There were 102 tuberculosis cases on the books. Of these five went to the sanatorium, one to the Union Hospital (St. Finbarr’s) and one died. Eight cases returned home from the sanatorium and one from St. Patrick’s Hospital. The houses of two cases that died were disinfected. Air cushions were lent to two bad cases. Instruction was given in seventeen cases pertaining to the danger of sputum. In all health cases, 573 home visits were made in the two months. Regarding Samaritan work, a great number of cases had to be helped owing to unemployment. Tonics, malt, dressings for surgical cases and foodstuffs such as milk, eggs etc. for necessitous cases were distributed. There is a great need of warm underwear etc. for the winter months.

At the Opera House

Charles Doran and his travelling Shakespearean Company gave their farewell performance at the Opera House last night. It was “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” performed before a very large audience. After the fall of the curtain Mr. Doran returned heartfelt thanks to the public of Cork for their splendid support. The O’Mara Opera Company open their engagement on Monday night with “Mignon”. This beautiful opera by Ambroise Thomas is a great favourite in Cork and a most enjoyable performance is anticipated.

Poor Joe Spriggs Soccered

Joe Spriggs’ application for reinstatement has been turned down. He has admitted playing Soccer, and according to the rule, he stands automatically suspended for a period of two years. The case is a rather hard one, and his name, which smacks so much of cage birds and bird-lime, appeals to me as I am a bit of a bird fancier myself. Poor Spriggs. In the absence of Gaelic football matches during the many troubled months that have gone by, betook himself to the Association code to keep in form and to prevent his becoming rusty. That is the head and foot of his offending. If such a rule had not been in existence, he would not have been sprigged and caged up as he is now. The times that are in it are making it difficult to get our G.A.A. players to turn out, and other games are increasing in popularity. Not only with players but with the public. Time for leniency. 

Miscellaneous International Snippets

The Minister of Labour has stated in Rome that the Italian government will maintain the eight-hour day. The Prince of Wales enjoyed great sport with the Quorn Hounds yesterday. His horse fell but the Prince received only slight facial scratches. The Belgian refusal to handle mail for Germany is causing serious delivery delays. The Belgians say that if the Germans want the mail they will have to come and fetch it. Steps are being taken to rescue the sacks of English mail lying at Herbesthal. Aviator Broad reached Paris from London on a night flight of four hours.

31 Day Horror Movie Challenge

#17 The Witchfinder General (1968)

Starring: Vincent Price

The director, Michael Reeves, was only 24-25 when he made the film, and died shortly after its release from an alcohol and barbiturate overdose.

He was constantly telling Vincent Price to tone down his over-acting, and to play the role more seriously. Price eventually cracked, snapping, "Young man, I have made eighty-four films. What have you done?" Reeves replied: "I've made three good ones."

Summary: Set during the 17th century civil war in England, Vincent Price plays real-life figure Matthew Hopkins, torturing confessions of witchcraft from both women and men. Those found guilty are executed in the name of God.

Quick Review: Pretty intense and gruesome, as you might expect from a Vincent Price horror about witch trials. Unfortunately, no witches were in this one. Just innocent people tortured and murdered due to his greed and thirst for power. The two love interests (Ian Ogilvy and Hilary Dwyer,) were the true stars of the movie, beautiful and talented. We cared about them and rooted for them to have a happy ending. And Vincent Price is at one of his villainous bests.
