The Virgin Witch
<p>Before modern folk horror and long before witchcraft became mainstream in horror cinema, there was The Virgin Witch (1971), a bizarre blend of occult themes, sexploitation, and questionable storytelling choices. This week on Broomsticks & Bloodshed, Cory and Rossa take a deep dive into one of the strangest witch-themed films they’ve tackled yet.</p><p><br></p><p>The hosts break down the film scene by scene, exploring its portrayal of witchcraft, cult imagery, psychic powers, and the many ways it misses the mark when it comes to actual magical practice. Along the way, they discuss the film’s place within the exploitation era of horror, the cultural attitudes that shaped it, and why both lead actresses later distanced themselves from the project.</p><p><br></p><p>Before the review, Cory and Rossa catch up on what they’ve been watching, including Interview with the Vampire, Death of a Unicorn, The Backrooms, Obsession, and the surprising discovery of Slumber Party Massacre 3.</p><p><br></p><p>Is The Virgin Witch an overlooked cult gem, a fascinating historical curiosity, or simply a confusing collection of boobs, robes, and bad decisions? Tune in as the witches weigh in.</p><p><br></p><p>Topics Include:</p><p><br></p><p>* The Virgin Witch (1971) film breakdown</p><p>* Witchcraft vs. Hollywood witchcraft</p><p>* Exploitation horror of the 1970s</p><p>* Interview with the Vampire discussion</p><p>* Death of a Unicorn review</p><p>* Horror recommendations and disappointments</p><p>* Season break announcements and future plans for the podcast</p><p>__________________________________________</p><p><br></p><p>🎙️ Broomsticks and Bloodshed is the podcast where witches talk horror, heresy, and the weird beauty of the unholy.</p><p><br></p><p>🩸 If you’re loving the dark magic, cursed cinema and witchy chaos, make sure to rate, review, and subscribe to Broomsticks and Bloodshed!

Hereditary
<p>The Graham family never had a chance. From the very first frame, Ari Aster’s Hereditary makes that terrifyingly clear — and this week, Cory and Rosśa drag every hidden sigil, every carefully placed hat, and every demonic invocation into the light.</p><p><br></p><p>They walk through the full arc of the Graham family’s unraveling, while Rosśa unpacks the deep goetic underpinnings of the film’s magic — Crowley’s Thelemic invocations, the necromantic significance of a corpse in the house, Walpurgis Night, and the binding power of “Liftoach Pandemonium.” Because Aster didn’t just gesture at the occult. This coven knows their craft.</p><p><br></p><p>They also dig into Toni Collette’s devastating, awards-robbed performance, the layered color symbolism of red and blue, and why Alex Wolff needed years of trauma therapy after filming.</p><p><br></p><p>Whether you’re a first-timer or you’ve seen it a dozen times and you’re still finding things — put your phone on silent, turn up the brightness, and come join the coven.</p><p><br></p><p>Rating: Four broomsticks. Obviously.</p><p>___________________________________________</p><p><br></p><p>🎙️ Broomsticks and Bloodshed is the podcast where witches talk horror, heresy, and the weird beauty of the unholy.</p><p>🩸 If you’re loving the dark magic, cursed cinema and witchy chaos, make sure to rate, review, and subscribe to Broomsticks and Bloodshed!

Cory’s 5 Favorite Horror Films Of All Time
<p>This week on Broomsticks and Bloodshed, Cory steps behind the mic solo for a deeply personal dive into the five horror films that shaped his love of the genre forever. From the spiritual terror of The Exorcist to the grief soaked nightmare of Hereditary, the paranoid isolation of The Thing, the grimy brutality of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and the haunting madness of The Shining, this episode explores why horror stays with us long after the credits roll. Together, we unpack fear, faith, grief, violence, isolation, and the beautifully unholy emotions that make horror feel so human. Light a candle, settle into the dark, and maybe leave the hallway light on tonight.</p>
