Let’s kick off the first Halloween at CompassCompact by establishing a small tradition. This year, the topic will be witches, and these are some movies that I recommend for the spooky season.

The Northman (2022) is the newest film by Robert Eggers, of The Witch (2015) and The Lighthouse (2019) fame. Lesser known are his short films, all of which are available on YouTube – Hansel & Gretel, a silent piece shot in black and white that conjures up a very chilling atmosphere; The Tell-Tale Heart, based on Edgar Allan Poe’s short story; and Brothers, a “Cain-and-Abel tale.”
