The Love Witch & Jane Doe: Feminist Horror & Occult Symbolism Explained
In this episode of The Witch Movie Project, hosts Courtney Pearl and Just Blane dive deep into two hauntingly beautiful horror films from 2016: The Love Witch and The Autopsy of Jane Doe.

🧠 The Autopsy of Jane Doe delivers claustrophobic dread and psychological horror, with chilling performances by Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch.
We explore:

Feminist themes in The Love Witch
The terrifying realism of Jane Doe’s autopsy scenes
Why Stephen King called Jane Doe “the scariest movie ever”
