🕯On All Hallows’ Eve when the moon is round, a virgin will summon us from under the ground… 🕯

Hello Salem! This year for Halloween I wanted to get a Hocus Pocus painting done to celebrate the sequel premiering and the 29th anniversary of the original film. The basis for this piece was a series of sketches I did in 2018 which you can view in a saved story on my page! The sisters mostly stayed the same but I updated a few details since four years is a long time and my design style changed has slightly. In 2018 I was imagining what the sisters would wear if they had new outfits made in purgatory, so this is a continuation of that idea.

🕷 Sarah’s design is pretty straightforward. I was inspired by Mary E Vogt’s original concept which featured layers of silk scraps and beads to create something really ethereal. Basically it’s her costume from the first film but totally ripped to shreds, a little more revealing and sexy.

📖 Winnie’s dress is influenced by her Queen Elizabeth I hairstyle. I gave her an Elizabethan silhouette complete with collar, but of course kept her long “wizard sleeves.” My favorite detail of Mary Vogt’s original design is Winnie’s red petticoat, so I made her base skirt entirely red. The red color actually ties all three sisters together, since each features red somewhere in their design.

🧪 Mary’s design was the biggest departure from my original 2018 sketch. In the years since, she has become my favorite sister so I wanted to give her a dress that was really gorgeous. As @theaustinjayshow has pointed out, no design series from me would be complete without a tiered skirt, with either pointed or rounded petals, so that’s how Mary manifested this time. Each of the scarves reflects the patterned fabric of her original costume.

One Dress a Day Challenge

June: Weddings

Crazy Rich Asians / Sonoya Mizuno as Araminta Lee

Mary E. Vogt was the costume designer for this film, and apparently, couture designer Carven Ong also had a hand in the design of this wedding "gown"--actually a bodysuit with an attached skirt. The original sketch (see below) called for a wider skirt, but the look was modified to accommodate the available space. It's also completely waterproof so that she can walk down the flooded aisle. The whole thing is covered with embroidery and crystals which took three weeks for a team of thirty people to create.

The bridesmaids have silver dresses with a ripple design that also suggests water. The men are wearing Dolce and Gabbana tuxedoes, with the exception of Bernard (played by Jimmy O. Yang), who is wearing a different jacket.

Lee Vogt’s SONG OF THE WEEK: “Mary” https://leevogt.bandcamp.com/track/mary

 —Lee wrote, “This song is about a man who was in grief after his mother died. His name is Gary but I changed it to ‘Mary.’. The song started on Woodvale Road at my parents home in Branford CT. The I finished it in an empty church on a country road in New Hampshire where Gia-fu Feng was in residence, putting together the Tao Te Ching with Jane English, Roger Hahn, and assorted students. I was but a visitor.”

Producer-musician Johnny J. Blair wrote, “I’ve had a great time working with Lee, a singer-songwriter who dashes off heartfelt love songs and is also influenced by the confessionals of Leonard Cohen, Randy Newman, Nilsson, and John Stewart. ‘Mary’ reminds me of the quieter sides of Simon and Garfunkel.”

Every year on this date, among the many feelings and memories I have from having had so close and in-person experience with the horror of 911 with my family in lower Manhattan, is the evoked memory of this song, Burt Bacharach and Hal David’s beautiful “Windows of the World”, sung so poignantly by Dionne Warwick.

I don’t remember exactly when in that long horrific day this song came into my head, but it did, and still does each year.

This is because of the amazing restaurant which was inside of the World Trade Center for decades, the iconic Windows of the World.

After all of the events of the morning, shepherding my children home from school, and then going down to the site alone, I came home and like millions of other Americans, just kept watching it all unfold over and over again on TV.

One of New York’s local TV news stations hastily edited a piece about the beloved family-owned restaurant and how it could now be assumed that there was catastrophic loss of all those there working that morning. The piece was edited wtth this song under it… and at various points, they let the lyrics play …and they are so eerie now… they suddenly “fit” the tragedy of their title…

“…The windows of the world are covered with rain What is the whole world coming to? Everybody knows when men can not be friends Their quarrel often ends where some have to die Let the sun shine through…”

Later, the Atlantic magazine did this powerful piece about the Windows of the World owner, Glenn Vogt, who just happened to be on his way downtown to the restaurant when it all unfolded, and was spared, while all of his employees were lost. His terribly painful survivor guilt and his story of that morning, its long aftermath, and his epiphany about life, are all harrowing. The piece is well worth re-reading.

Hocus Pocus (1993, Kenny Ortega)

09/01/2024

Hocus Pocus is a 1993 fantasy comedy film directed by Kenny Ortega for Walt Disney Pictures.

In Salem on October 31, 1693, the Sanderson sisters Winifred, Mary and Sarah, three witches, kidnap little Emily Binx and, thanks to a potion, suck her lifeblood to become young again. Her brother Thackery tries to save her, but once discovered he is transformed into an immortal black cat. The villagers then, alerted by a friend of Thackery, capture the three witches and hang them.

The evil sisters try to capture Dani, however Max manages to trick them and the three together with Binx (capable of speech) take Winifred's witchcraft book and escape. Suddenly, the three witches arrive on brooms and resurrect Billy, Winifred's ex-boyfriend (and killed by her out of jealousy), as a zombie, so that he takes the book back from the boys.

In October 2019, Hocus Pocus 2 was announced, a sequel in development as a Disney+ exclusive film, with a screenplay written by Jen D'Angelo. In December 2020, it was officially announced that the film would premiere on Disney+.

On May 20, 2021, Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy reconfirmed their presence in the sequel Hocus Pocus 2 as the three Sanderson sisters via social media, announcing that the film would be released on September 30, 2022.

im currently reading the adventures of amina al sirafi, by the time this poll is up i probably will have finished it ✌️

[rynnaaurelius]

I'd really love the sci fi reading list, if it's not too difficult! Thank you for your explanation

Yes! Okay, requisite this is Not Authoritative Or Comprehensive claim, I'm a dork with a Russian degree, but here we go:

(I tried to organize this chronologically because if I did it thematically we would be here all day. Also, I still have more books, but they get increasingly niche. This is a Greatest Hits playlist, and if you look these people up, you will find their contemporaries)

(Long list below the Read More)

Jules Verne — 80,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth. Excellent continuations of that exploration/'ostracized' genius figure, so popular in the previous century. French, so English translations. Kinda marks the transition point between 19th c. pure spec exploration and what we would call sci-fi. BUT BEFORE HIM...

Mary Shelley — Frankenstein is probably the first sci-fi novel as we know it. BUT BEFORE HER...

Margaret Cavendish — Okay, the 'first sci-fi novel' is hard to define for obvious reasons, but The Blazing World has as good a claim as any. Published in the 17th c., so it really traverses the genres, but includes a utopian kingdom accessible via the North Pole. Her husband was so impressed that he composed a sonnet for her, which serves as the epigraph for the novel; it's a wild read in the same way Robinson Crusoe and other early novels are, and I'm mostly including it here because it's so, so wild to read in 2023.

John W. Campbell — That dude. The hero's journey guy. His short story Who Goes There? Has been adapted a million times into a little movie called The Thing. Unfortunately got really into race science, so Isaac Asimov told him to fuck off. Edited the magazine Astounding Science Fiction, which in 1939 published Black Destroyer by Alfred Van Vogt, usually cited as the beginning of Golden Age sci-fi.

H. G. Wells — Big critic of class divisions in Victorian English society, coined the term 'time machine' as we think of it in his novel...The Time Machine. A lot of what we consider 'classic' time travel tropes were, if not invented here, had their seeds planted here. Also famous for War of the Worlds, leading to a MINOR disturbance when Orson Welles did a dramatic radio reading.

Edgar Rice Burroughs — the man, the myth, the legend. If I could persuade you to read one white English sci-fi author with rather dubious politics, it would be him, if only because of how influential he was. Mostly famous for Tarzan, but he also wrote a whole series about Hollow Earth that crosses over with Tarzan at some point (Pellucidar), as well as the series Barsoom (A Princess of Mars and its sequels), and Amtor (Guy named Carson Napier gets transported to Venus, which was a watery hellscape, as was popularly theorized for a while).

They're basically pulp comics before pulp comics, published in magazines, extremely lurid and dramatic, and he did write his own crossovers. These were what the first modern superhero comics writers often grew up reading and what inspired them—John Carter's cultural cachet was borrowed by Superman until it became his cultural cachet.

They're very fun, but also supremely products of their time, and extremely fond of the British Empire.

Judith Merrill — prolific writer and editor, who also wrote one of my personal favorite reactions to the atomic bomb in Shadow on the Hearth.

Gabriel García Márquez — we're gonna take half a sidestep into magical realism here (which is, to define quickly, a genre incorporating the fantastic into otherwise realistic narratives, often formed and associated with decolonial and post colonial Latin American fiction, but not always. It's a fuzzy genre). He wrote in Spanish, but I read him in English. One Hundred Years of Solitude is probably one of the great novels ever written. My mother is also telling me to rec Love in the Time of Cholera and she wrote about the man, so listen to her.

Jorge Amado — the sixties were the big magical realism heyday. Amado was Brazilian and his Dona Flor and her Two Husbands is a book my Spanish high school teacher made me swear to read some day.

Andre Alice Norton — Deserves a spot for being one of the most prolific sci-fi authors of all time during a time when sci-fi was INCREDIBLY inhospitable to women. Over 300 books!

Robert Heinlein — This man is the poster child for "male author who writes groundbreaking sci-fi novels but cannot be normal about women with a gun to his head". The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress is excellent and incredibly important for how comprehensive the creation of Luna and its workers was, even if it is very sixties free love. Also wrote Starship Troopers, the novel.

Edward Smith — you haven't seen drama until you read what they said when Lensman (first book is Triplanetary) lost to Foundation for the Hugo in the sixties.

Larry Niven — Fleet of Worlds! Ringworld won a whole host of awards and deservedly so in 1970. Fair warning, his stuff decidedly falls under "hard" sci-fi (lots and lots of discussion for plausible alien artifacts), though it is awesome just in terms of how he can communicate scale. If you see a big ring-like structure in space, you can thank this guy, basically (the term ringworld comes from here). Also did a bunch of co-writing. I haven't read his other stuff, but CoDominium is on my list (he co-wrote it. First book is The Mote in God's Eye). If you liked the TV show The Expanse when it did the alien stuff and the later books it never got to adapt, you'll love this guy.

Samuel R. Delaney — Dhalgren is a book I am forbidding you to research before reading. Go in prepared. You have been warned. You will either love this book or set it on fire.

Stanislaw Lem — Solaris. I started this novel last week after watching the Tarkovsky film and. It's doing something to my brain, that's for sure. It's a book where I have to read every sentence twice. If you read it, find a good translation if you don't speak Polish. The author famously is very mad at critics who use Freudian analysis for it, so tread carefully (it's about the limits of rationality and our ability to understand, so. Fair).

Joanna Russ — The Female Man is a seminal work of feminist sci-fi. It's—fascinating, to be honest. Discusses socially enforced dependence of women on men and the creation of a different gender, a "female man", when the protagonist chooses to reject it and thus her socially enforced gender. I wouldn't call it a transgender manifesto (written in 1975, features insufficiently masculine men undergoing sex change surgery, so...yeah) but it definitely awoke something in my brain when I was 16 lol. I would LOVE to see it revisited in literary criticism from a modern perspective, especially from trans people.

C.J. Cherryh — If we talked about female sci-fi authors from the 1950s-70s writing under gender ambiguous aliases, we would be here all day, so I'm picking the one whose books I got for cheap at a book sale. Her Foreigner series has such a good premise with descendants of a lost Earth ship and interstellar court drama, and it's SO fun.

Poul Anderson — the name is not a typo, do not look up Paul Anderson, you will never find him. I actually have a copy of Three Swords and Three Lions currently collecting dust on my shelf and judging me right now as I wait to read it. Tau Zero is one of the greatest things I've ever read. The time dilation stuff gets kinda dense at times, but he incorporates some interest in his Swedish history and folk tales into it, and his explanation of travel at the speed of light and incorporating that into his discussion of nationalism is incredible. The ending where they survived [REDACTED] and landed on what may have been [REDACTED] has been bouncing around my brain for a bit now.

Laura Esquivel — Like Water for Chocolate is from the magical realism reading list.

Salman Rushdie — Midnight's Children is one of those bucket list books, for better or worse. Recontextualized Indian independence from the British and the Partition through framing of a husband telling the story to his wife, as he actively tells the story to her. Really uses the fantastical versus the real w/history versus truth so well.

Nancy Farmer — The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm, for the kids lying about their age on Tumblr dot hell. Three kids try to escape a kidnapping after sneaking out—in 23rd century Zimbabwe. With the help of three mutant detectives. It rules.

Ben Okri — Okay, I have not read his stuff yet, but it is on my list. Other people here have discussed his influence on them in post colonial sci-fi. His big one is The Famished Road, first in a trilogy, and renowned for its discussion of the spiritual and realist world coexisting in African animist spiritual life.

Nnedi Okorafor — I have read one of her short stories, Remote Control, and currently have an book list with her other stuff on it. Other people I know vouched for her work. She specifically writes Africanfuturism and Africanjujuism centered around her Nigerian background, and follows on from the likes of Okri and Octavia Butler. I'd also add if you're a Stephen King fan when he's in Dark Tower mode, she's probably gonna have things that appeal to you.

Mentions that are absolutely influential but don't need explaining on this website: Franz Kafka, Ursula K Le Guin, Douglas Adams, N. K. Jemisin, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Frank Herbert, Alduous Huxley, Philip K. Dick, Orson Scott Card, Kurt Vonnegut, George Orwell, Octavia Butler, Neil Gaiman, Toni Morrison.

(to be clear: you SHOULD read them, but you probably know who most of them are and/or why they're big deals. Most of them are also incredibly prolific, and explaining their bodies of work are other posts. Trying to make a list about other folks)

For more on Afrofuturism,(not to be confused with Africanfuturism), I recommend the shit out of Afrofuturism: The World of Black Sci-Fi and Fantasy Culture, full of short stories and guides to art and music. I, alas, lack similarly useful authoritative guides to other genres, but I have read that one, so wanna toss it out there. There's so much.
