Witchy Woman
Episode description
When was the last time you checked out a movie from a movie rental store? Like, went to a Blockbuster on a Friday night, walked up and down those aisles trying to find just the right pick, and grabbed some movie theater candy and popcorn from those stands on the front of the check-out desk before checking out and heading home to watch it on your small, but very heavy, television at home? Maybe something like, I don’t know, twenty years ago? Well for one Texas woman, her VHS rental turned less into remembering a long-ago night with nostalgia and more of a headache…
