Scary Spirits Podcast: Celebrating 40 Years of Disney’s Dark Fantasy – The Black Cauldron.

This week on the Scary Spirits podcast, we dive into the eerie magic of Disney’s most haunting animated film, “The Black Cauldron”, as it marks its 40th anniversary! Released in 1985, this cult classic blends dark fantasy, ancient prophecy, and a horned villain with world-ending ambitions. Think “Star Wars” meets “Grimm’s Fairy Tales”—but animated.

A psychic pig.
A wannabe hero.
An undead army.
Is it horror? Is it fantasy? Or is it something in between?

Join hosts Karen and Greg as they explore the film’s shadowy legacy, its place in Disney history, and whether it deserves its reputation as one of the studio’s boldest missteps—or hidden gems. All while sipping on a spooky, themed Cauldron Cocktail Halloween Drink you won’t want to miss!
