The Mayfair Witches Conjures a New Premiere Date
Just as AMC’s Interview with the Vampire has enjoyed a strong viewership and fanbase, the network is also adapting another of the late Anne Rice’s works. The Mayfair Witches is coming right as 2023 begins, and now AMC’s pushed the show’s premiere back a few days.
Witches be trippin’: A few hours in, Bayonetta 3 looks like a Nintendo Switch all-timer
PlatinumGames hasn’t exactly had the hottest streak lately. Babylon’s Fall was an exemplary lesson in how not to do a service game, it lost the job of making Granblue Fantasy: Relink to Cygames back in 2019, and even Astral Chain failed to really get the traction you’d see from keystone series like Bayonetta or Nier. The studio, regrettably, has been stuck in a rut.
But, with Bayonetta 3, Platinum comes dancing and jiving out of this lull in an explosion of keratin and Umbran magic. From the opening minutes – no, the opening seconds – Bayonetta 3 says “the witch is back, darling” and kicks any and all of your expectations to the curb. The languid pace of Astral Chain’s opening hours have been forgotten, the sub-par combat and service model of Babyon’s Fall cast aside; this is Platinum firing on all cylinders once again. And, damn, does it feel good.
Everything you remember about Bayonetta and its sequel is present and accounted for: the razor-sharp combat, the best-in-class Witch Time dodging, the frantic-yet-measured melee, the over-the-top set pieces. Yet, somehow, Bayonetta 3 takes everything from the first two games that made you grin like a gremlin and dials it up even more.

New Hocus Pocus 2 Trailer Premieres At D23, Offers Up Witches On Hoverboards
A sequel to the beloved Disney film Hocus Pocus will be making its way to the company’s streaming service, Disney+, on September 30, just in case you were looking for something lighthearted to watch during spooky season. And at the D23 expo, we got another look at the upcoming flick via a brand-new trailer.
One of the most delightful moments in the new trailer is seeing the return of Billy Butcherson, who describes himself as a “good zombie.” Doug Jones (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth) reprises the role of the undead man who once worked for the Sanderson sisters. Of course, his appearance frightens Gilbert, whose played by Sam Richardson (Detroiters), and he lets out a comically-loud scream. There’s also a moment Mary is riding around on a hoverboard that actually hovers above the ground. Check out the trailer below.
Hocus Pocus 2 takes place 29 years since the events of the first film, where the Sanderson sisters–a trio of witches from the 17th century–were brought back to life after a virgin lit the Black Flame Candle. Three high school students are now tasked with stopping the Sanderson sisters one more time as the wreck havoc on Salem on Halloween.
