A Witch’s Invitation

About This Movie

A Witch’s Invitation is this curious short that blends comedy, horror, and music in a way that's pretty unique for its time. It revolves around Carman's real-life meet with a warlock, and you get this strange, almost campy vibe from the highly stylized gothic setting. You can’t help but notice the practical effects used to represent the occult symbols, which add a certain charm, even if they lean into clichés. The pacing feels deliberately quirky, making it a bit of a surreal experience, especially with the mix of spoken word and visuals. The performances are earnest, and there's this underlying humor throughout that makes it stand out, though it definitely has its odd moments.

This short film is not very common in collector circles, partly due to its age and limited release. Originally tied to Carman's 1989 single, it has a unique niche appeal for fans of music-related cinema. Copies can be rare, especially on original formats, which often leads to interest from those who admire its eccentric tone and visual flair. Collectors tend to appreciate its distinct blend of genres and the novelty of its concept.
