Roald Dahl's The Witches poster★ 6.3

In late 1967, a young orphaned boy goes to live with his loving grandma in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis. As the boy and his grandmother encounter some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, she wisely whisks him away to a seaside resort. Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world's Grand High Witch has gathered.

In Roald Dahl's The Witches, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “mouse‑hotel”. The story fights on E8/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing prejudice, transformation, fear, magic, childhood.
