Three years ago I celebrated Halloween 2020 with three posts under the “Season of the Witch” banner. Each one was a brief love letter to a beloved witch—Michelle Pfeiffer as Sukie Ridgemont in The Witches of Eastwick, Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha from Bewitched, and Morgan Fairchild’s memorable photo shoot.
