Most of us know of AM's appearance on Rod Serling's Twilight Zone series, but she
also made a couple of appearances in his later series Night Gallery. This vignette is
from season two episode two, "Witches' Feast," broadcast 22 September 1971. For some
reason, it was never aired again -- it was replaced with a different sketch when the episode
was rerun and when the series entered syndication -- so this is a bit of a lost nugget.

Thank you for posting. It's fun to see other Bewitched stars in obscure things.

If this is any indication of what the the rest of the episode is like then I can see why it wasn't re-aired. I know it's only tv and it's make believe but I can't help but notice some obvious mistakes that make it hard for me to suspend belief. That cauldron would be way too hot to lean against and touch. That stick their using to stir flops around and is obviously rubber. Again, I know, it's make believe. For some reason obvious mistakes on Bewitched don't seem to bother me but this does.

Anyways, I love seeing AM in other things and again, thanks for sharing.

I demand your pickle!

I didn't notice those inconsistencies, but you are right!

What I did notice is that AM's witch is the only one of the bunch not wearing black robes with black hair.

Re: Witches' Feast

I wonder if that was at AM's request. Seems like they should all have black hair and be dressed in black. AM's dress is kind of a purple color and that was her favorite color so maybe she wanted it that way.

I demand your pickle!

I agree it wasn't very good, but I'm glad I got to see it.
It's also great to see an active post on this board! I miss the way it used to be.

Re: Witches' Feast

Hmmm, well, I don't agree that it isn't very good. I rather like it. To me it has a Shakespearean vibe, and I enjoy AM's recitation.

Here is a publicity shot for this production:

If the makeup artist (Tony Lloyd) looks familiar, perhaps it is because he worked on Bewitched during the early years, and was AM's escort to the Oscars in '65.

Cool behind the scenes pics.
