Season of the Witch

Romero’s works, 1972’s Season of the Witch sees the Night of the Living Dead filmmaker returning to the realm of thesupernatural for this bewitching tale of a housewife driven to an interest in the dark arts.On the surface, Joan Mitchell has it all – family, friends, and a beautiful home equipped with all the latest appliances. But when a neighbor educates her on the practice ofwitchcraft, Joan believes she’s discovered the perfect antidote to her monotonous suburban existence, and embarks upon a dark path that will lead to a shocking conclusion.Filmed as Jack’s Wife and subsequently cut down and retitled Hungry Wives for its theatrical release in an attempt to market it as a sexploitation film, Season of the Witchis arguably one of Romero’s most overlooked films – an intimate and thought-provoking character study that serves as the perfect companion piece to his later Martin.Features:Brand new 4K restoration of the original theatrical version from the camera negative [90 mins] Alternate extended version [104 mins] High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation Original Uncompressed PCM Mono Audio English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing Brand new audio commentary by Travis Crawford When Romero Met Del Toro – filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro in conversation with George Romero The Secret Life of Jack’s Wife – archive interview with actress Jan White Alternate Opening Titles Location Gallery with audio commentary by Romero historian Lawrence DeVincentz Memorabilia Gallery TrailersReversible sleeve featuring original and newly-commissioned artwork by Gilles Vranckx
