Be careful around that crown or you’ll lose an eye.

You tried to give Father Ted one of those all-female remakes AND NOW LOOK WHAT’S HAPPENED!

“Sorry we can’t afford costumes, ladies. We blew the art budget on the crowns.”

Dennis Wheatley is The Irish Witch.

Will someone please get the lady in back a space sheep so she can put her arms down?

No Siobhan, that’s not the voice of God – you’re picking up Alex Jones on local AM radio.

@THX, drlemaster: Down with this sort of thing.

“I call forth the dark powers…”
“Does rubbing your nipples evoke your powers?”
“No, this just feels good.”

It must be Flashboob Friday.

The rejected cover shows Benny and Bjorn sacrificing a goat.

o/~It’s a black magic story,
It’s a black magic story,
It’s a black magic story,
Cover’s got me so blind I can’t see,
It’s a black magic story,
GSS tryin’ to make an example of Wheat-ley…..o/!
Gah! Apologies to Carlos Santana and all of GSS. Just can’t make that last line scan….

If that’s an Irish witch, I’m Queen Mab, and I’m not feeling any butterfly wings when I lean back in my chair.

It’s an Irish Witch in the same way Irish coffee is Irish.

That’s proper Wheatley cover, that is. Except the woman at the top (Young Cher?) has helpfully self-censored herself. But there’s no obligatory Evil Object! She’s even got her cross on right way up. Are Irish witches still Catholic at heart?
Blonde lady really is wearing a bunch of car antennae, isn’t she?
“Wheatley” sounds like it ought to be some sort of breakfast food. A bad, tasteless one.
@Tat: Took me a second, but yes. Perfect for 1977, too.
@Hammy: A good effort, nonetheless.

@THX (#13):
A couple of shots and *everyone’s* an Irish witch, you mean?

This cover and GSS’s comment bring back a memory of a Hallowe’en party I attended in my wastrel youth and two girls were dressed as witches and out of nowhere a guy I think was tripping came up and started asking me “Which witch is which?” over and over in an increasingly manic voice as I tried to ease off to the porch and safety. I still don’t know the answer, but thanks for reminding me.

Judicious cropping saved the girl from the Grantville Gazette cover from another jailbait appearance.

I have been to Ireland many times and I must say, this is exactly what Irish witchery looks like.
March 18th, 2022 at 3:49 pm
Despite the meticulous and pretentious posing, White Witch’s crown is still a bit cockeyed. Must be the uneven weight of all those old rabbit ear antennas the prop guy added.

A triumph of 1970s bad taste.

@BC: Maybe she’s turning her head to try and bring in a clearer signal.
Not having a child handy to move the rabbit ears around and then stand there when the picture’s perfect.
(Not that I have non-fond memories of that, being the youngest.)

@GSSxn—In my childhood home that honor fell to my little sister, until she rebelled and threatened to destroy my comic book collection if I didn’t spell her occasionally. Mom and Dad serenely let us work it out for ourselves, as long as they got to see McHale’s Navy.

@BC: I was the little sister, so I had no recourse, nor anything to threaten because my older brother’s stuff was cool and he let me borrow it.
However, when I married and the station that showed Doctor Who only sort-of came in at the location of our little cheap newlywed apartment, Mr. xn was the designated antenna-twiddler. He had grown up in a place that barely got 2-3 stations, so even though he was the oldest, he was an expert.
And then we moved and got cable, so no one’s had to do that for a while. We do have an antenna in the attic now, which led to a fun if dusty adventure for our fluffy cat who’d sneaked up behind him during installation.
At no time did any people or cats wear them on their heads, though.
