MY FAVORITE WITCH

If you were a Monster Kid growing up in the sixties you probably watched some of the classic sitcoms, including those that featured monsters like THE MUNSTERS and THE ADDAMS FAMILY. There were also a few oddball comedies that were genre-related like MY FAVORITE MARTIAN. Another one was BEWITCHED, that boasted a whopping 254 episodes from 1964-1972.

The star of the show was, of course, the lovely and bewitching Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha. Today I pay homage to that kooky and fun show by sharing a few photos of Miss Montgomery, trading cards manufactured by Topps in 1965 and the second issue of the BEWITCHED comic book.

JUNE IN JULY

It's no surprise that outsiders believe that the South American folk religion known as Macumba is just a form of black magic and witchcraft.

Another "form" spun her own black magic spell in MACUMBA LOVE (1960) -- the fabulous June Wilkinson.

Along with Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield and Mamie van Doren, Miss Wilkinson was one of the many blonde bombshells of the day and at one point was dubbed, "the most photographed nude in America".

This example is from BEWITCHED (Vol. 1 No. 1, 1962).
