‘Return of the Witches 2’: why the film scandalized a Texas mother and her parody

“Return of the Witches 2” is now available on Disney +, the streaming platform from which Bette Midler, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kathy Najimy once again enchant as the Sanderson sisters, for some figuratively and for others … literally. . And if you don’t tell Jamie Gooch, worried mom from Texas (United States) who wanted to warn against the danger of letting the little ones expose themselves to the spells of the aforementioned magical sequel.

“Don’t watch this movie. The whole movie is based on the story of some witches who collect children to make blood sacrifices … I think there are things that accompany everything that appears on our television, In fact, I verified how things I had seen with my own eyes or heard on a television screen ended up manifesting in real life.. Everyone thinks it’s innocent fiction, but they could cast any kind of spell, anything could enter your home through the TV screen”Gooch says in an attempt to warn other parents about how damaging the new episode of “Return of the Witches” would be.

Videooriginally broadcast on one of the general American television channels (via Popculture), it made its way onto the Internet to become a viral sensation thanks to a parody signed by Blaire Erskine. This comedian, author of the famous Jimmy Kimmel Live show, makes the most of Gooch’s “fear” in a clip in which she claims to be a “mother bear” who doesn’t understand how ‘Witches Return 2’ ended up on their TV if they let their kids watch it “films for the whole family, such as videos of his birth or ‘Ratatouille’ without sex scenes”. “I guess the devil would find my TV remote, I don’t know. And I know people will say ‘it’s just a movie, it’s not real!’ Think what you want but in this house we believe that if something appears on television, it can come for you. I’ve seen it and I don’t want Bette Midler to come get me.”.
