I rate this episode ★★★★☆ for GOOD. Ian Martin's Witch story was 75% of a Drama-Mystery and 25% of a Fantasy-Mystery. The main characters were focused on investigations and less focused on superstitions. It's an entertaining story, suitable for the Halloween season, only thing that puzzled me was the ending. We heard the witch's motive and we heard the Climax scene on how she was defeated, but the Resolution of her pets? The humans ended up safe, but what about the witch's talking cat & the talking parrot? Where do they go now that the witch is gone? A mystery we'll never know. Great title for this CBSRMT episode, though. Another way to title it would be "The Sea Witch" or "The Black Magic Ingredients." The sound effects of the airport terminal, cat meowing, radio music, rotary phone, ocean roar, seagulls, roaring thunder, people murmuring at the police station, window shutters & curtains close, doors, and the howling wind were supportive. But the music was highly supportive with its eerie tunes; especially during the 30-minute mark after hearing the witch's devious plan. In our Host's Prologue, E.G. Marshall starts the show off by describing what a Triptych is. In ACT-1, he explains the 1st panel of the Triptych is one character's fear. ACT-2 is where he explains that the 2nd panel of the Triptych is another character's instincts. Finally, in ACT-3, the last panel is no other than the witch. Plus, at the end of out mystery tale, E.G. Marshall mentions Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: a German Poet who knew about sea ghosts/witches. In the Epilogue, our Host quotes Malcolm from MACBETH about the death of the leading character. That quote suits for this tale and I'd give big props to E.G. Marshall for hosting this one! Now for our cast: Margaret Hamilton (as Aunt Hester Madden a.k.a. The Witch), Kristoffer Tabori (as Walter Madden), Evie Juster (as Joan Madden), and Gilbert Mack (as Doctor Damon). SPECIAL NOTE: Himan Brown is in this who plays the role of Jake. Margaret Hamilton deserves big recognition for the playing the villain in this, just like she did for playing The Wicked Witch of the West from THE WIZARD OF OZ. Even though Kristoffer Tabori is a good actor, I think he over acted in his role; like he's on a warpath while feeling agitated. Let's not forget that there was Captain Jack: the talking parrot and Smokey: the talking cat. It's puzzling to figure out which of our actors played these roles. If you know, please let the CBSRMT fans know. Check this witch story out, everyone. And if like stories about witches and/or cats, check out Ep. #0545-THE QUEEN OF CATS (written by Ian Martin) and #0736-THE THERAPEUTIC CAT (written by Elspeth Eric). Until next time…pleasant dreams. =0)
