Fear Street: 1666 Highlights the Link Between Witch-Hunts and Persecution of Queerness

The final installment in Netflix’s film saga inspired by R.L. Stine’s book series,
Fear Street Part Three: 1666, takes protagonist Deena (Kiana Madeira) back to where it all began. She inhabits the body of Sarah Fier, the witch who is said to have started the curse plaguing the town of Shadyside, tying together the loose threads left behind by the first two films, set in 1994 and 1978. In a long vision that makes for the film’s strongest act, Deena relives the last days of Sarah’s life and makes valid points about the dynamics at play between powerful, straight men and rebellious, queer women.
A LONGNIDDRY resident has delved into Musselburgh’s history of witchcraft to publish a new book inspired by the town’s burgh records. David Robertson, whose former research into the witchcraft of East Lothian was featured in his book Goodnight My Servants All, published in 2007, found references in recently rediscovered trial records to 17th-century “black magic” charms – which were actually pre-Reformation Christian prayers. David, 75, has combined the details of these previously unknown trials with other cases of Musselburgh witchcraft in his new book, A Calendar of Musselburgh Witchcraft. The Forthview Road resident said: “There were very few Musselburgh records in Register House, and they were supposed to have been lost, but a few years ago they were discovered in a locked room in the town hall in Musselburgh.
