I’ve been planning a post on a phantasmagorical story by Borges, but this, this must come first…
An action-packed scary dark night battle between boy and witch; boy on a rooftop, witch in a balloon-hanging basket. Exciting as all get-out.

Nothing much else happened, all the rest of that night.
Chapter 32

Ah-Young Frankenstein! Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman, Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle. Absolutely loved that movie.
