Every now and then a movie comes along that does more than make you laugh, cry or simply scare the crap out of you; one that gives you direction and calls to you. For me, that movie was Kevin Tenney’s "Witchboard."
No joke. No single movie affected me the way "Witchboard" has. It originally debuted in selected theaters nearly 30 years ago in December 1986, and had its wide release in 1987. Since then it has become an '80s cult classic and one of the best-known B-horror movies out there. It also spawned two sequels, “Witchboard 2: The Devil’s Doorway” and “Witchboard 3: The Possession.”
Kevin Tenney made his mark as a visionary and pioneer by being the first to cast the board as the main character. Moreover, the 80s hair, Tawney Kitaen and Stephen Nichols (Patch from "Days of Our Live") created the movie that inspired me to collect and research the Mystifying Oracle. In fact, I own the board used in the third movie (shown here).
So what's the big deal about "Witchboard"? Tenney skillfully mixed urban legends and superstitions
