The Love Witch is a 2016 film directed by Anna Biller. It is a tribute to the Technicolor melodramas of the 1960s and explores themes of love, obsession, and gender politics. The film follows the story of Elaine, a beautiful and charismatic witch who uses her supernatural powers to seduce and manipulate men. She believes that she can find true love by casting love spells, but her quest for love leads to disastrous consequences. One of the striking aspects of the film is its visual style. Anna Biller meticulously recreates the look and feel of 1960s cinema, with vibrant colors, elaborate costumes, and meticulously designed sets.
And, while these window props are scary, once you know what it is, you can't help but laugh, and then want to catch a friend or family member off guard with them to see their frightened reaction. :-)
Last night during movie night, I took the dogs out one last time and hung the Tapping Peeper on one of our kitchen windows.
5 and 8 and thought this was a fun Halloween decoration, so to see others thinking it was offensive and wanting it pulled from the store shelves a couple years back just makes me laugh.

With most kids back to school, now is the time many people start thinking about Halloween. My girls started thinking about Halloween back early August thanks to stores putting out their Halloween candy and decor early. Now my girls are fast at work creating their own costumes. Usually they go costume shopping at stores, but this year they want to make their own costumes. They are going to be their favorite Ty Beanie Babies toy. I can't wait to see how their costumes come out.
In addition to working on their own costumes, my girls have already started Halloween crafting and making decorations to hang up all over the house. They keep asking for their cobwebs and spiders to put up all over the house, and for Daddy to pull out their inflatable Halloween yard decorations, but I am still trying to enjoy the last few days of summer before reality of the cold crisp weather of fall sets in, and then with a blink of an eye the snow will start falling, and we will all be wishing for summer again.
While I have been reluctant to pull out all the Halloween decorations, I did catch the girls off guard last night with a fun and scary Halloween decoration. Scary Peeper Tapping Peeper.
Have you heard about these decorations? I remember seeing this and other peeping window props from Scary Peeper at Home Depot last year, but was reminded about it last month when I was watching an online video of The Jonathan Ross Show which airs in the UK . He was mentioning Scary Peeper and how these fun Halloween props were pulled from stores because one lady found them offensive.
He is right. these continue to sell like hot cakes, so don't be left in the dark without a Scary Peeper Tapping Peeper or Witch this Halloween.
I had to laugh when I heard this as I have seen so many other products in stores that are offensive and shouldn't be on shelves. But, to think that these window props from Scary Peeper was offensive is a joke as they fall under Halloween decorations, and these things are supposed to be fun or scary.
And, while these window props are scary, once you know what it is, you can't help but laugh, and then want to catch a friend or family member off guard with them to see their frightened reaction. :-)
Last night during movie night, I took the dogs out one last time and hung the Tapping Peeper on one of our kitchen windows.
There are two settings to these peeping window props -- either activated by a sensor, or can be set to tap every 8-10 seconds. I set it for the every 8-10 seconds setting, and came inside to sit back on the couch with my family to finish up a movie.
The girls started to hear the tapping and wondered what it was. I quickly grabbed my camera and filmed this.
Oh, how I wish you were here to see the girls. My oldest turned white in shock as she ran down the hall to safety. Then, they slowly crept out of the room, when I told them it was just a decoration. And, when they saw the Tapping Peeper up close in the light, they started laughing, and thought this was the coolest thing ever. My girls are 6.5 and 8 and thought this was a fun Halloween decoration, so to see others thinking it was offensive and wanting it pulled from the store shelves a couple years back just makes me laugh. But, I am happy to report that Scary Peeper Peeping Window Props are back in stores, with even more of a selection for Halloween (and be on the lookout this Christmas for a Peeping Elf -- I can't wait to get and put up for the girls, and save myself in having to move an elf around the house every night)
In addition to being back in stores like Home Depot and Lowes, as well as available for purchase from the official Scary Peeper website, I am excited to announce that starting today you can also purchase these fun must have Halloween decorations online at LTD Commodities and Hammacher and

Elaine is portrayed as a femme fatale who challenges gender norms and takes control of her own desires and destiny. However, as she becomes increasingly obsessed with finding love, she becomes a victim of her own powers. The film is not just a throwback to the 1960s, but also a critique of the era's gender dynamics. It highlights the objectification of women and how their desires and emotions are often dismissed or manipulated by men. Through Elaine's journey, the film explores the complexities of love, power, and identity. The Love Witch has received critical acclaim for its unique visual style, feminist themes, and thought-provoking storytelling. It is a visually stunning and intellectually engaging film that challenges traditional notions of love and femininity. Whether you are a fan of classic cinema or interested in exploring modern feminist filmmaking, The Love Witch is a must-watch film that will captivate and provoke thought..
Reviews for "The Love Witch: Deconstructing Gender and Sexuality in Film"
1. Sarah - 1 out of 5 stars:
I found "The Love Witch" to be an absolute disappointment. The plot was convoluted and hard to follow, and the dialogue was cringe-worthy. The cinematography was beautiful and reminiscent of classic horror films, but it couldn't make up for the lackluster storytelling. The film seemed to rely solely on its style and aesthetic, without any substance. I couldn't connect with any of the characters, as their actions and motivations were unclear. Overall, I would not recommend this movie to anyone looking for a meaningful or enjoyable viewing experience.
2. John - 2 out of 5 stars:
While "The Love Witch" had a unique visual style and paid homage to classic horror films, it ultimately fell flat for me. The acting was over the top and the characters felt one-dimensional. The storyline felt disjointed and lacked cohesion, making it difficult to fully engage with the narrative. Additionally, the film's attempt at exploring themes of feminism and gender dynamics felt shallow and superficial. Despite some impressive visuals, "The Love Witch" failed to leave a lasting impression and left me feeling disappointed.
3. Emily - 2 out of 5 stars:
I had high hopes for "The Love Witch" based on the positive reviews, but I was left feeling underwhelmed. The movie dragged on and felt overly long, with scenes that could have been easily edited out. The dialogue was stilted and unnatural, making it difficult to fully invest in the characters and their relationships. The plot lacked depth and seemed more focused on style rather than substance. Despite some visually appealing moments, the overall execution of the film fell short for me. I would not recommend it to those seeking a captivating or engaging viewing experience.
