MUSICAL MONDAY! ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN ON HALLOWEEN!

MUSICAL MONDAY!


Tim Curry has a super power. The campiest garbage that film and television has to offer can be saved by Tim Curry's smarmy charisma and fabulous phantasmagoria.

Jilly Murphy's The Worst Witch book series is a predecessor to Harry Potter, even more so than Kimba: The White Lion is a predecessor to Disney The Lion King.

Check it out and put Halloween behind us.
