Black Phillip in 3 Stooges?

    I just watched an episode of the 3 Stooges where the guys thought they accidentally killed somebody. They're trying to hide the body in a cemetery. A cemetery caretaker sees them calls the sexton on the phone for help. The sexton was at a costume party and rushes right over. He shows up dressed in all black with a black top hat and a black cape. He's accompanied by two friends, one dressed as a "melting?" or decomposing skeleton and the other guy is a devil. In one scene, the three costumed guys hide in an open grave and come out menacingly towards the Stooges, like they're rising from hell. The name of the sexton was Philip Black.
    Now the Stooges often slip in very subtle jokes about history, politics, and religion. Do you think this is a coincidence or another subtle joke? Is the concept of "Black Phillip" older than The VVitch?

Ending question

What happened to the twins? The next morning their just gone. If they heard Black Philip would that mean he was trying to recruit them too?

**Its been a few years since I last watched it, then watched it tonight.

Ending Question

I have a hard time wrapping my head around Thomasine joining a coven that just murdered/sacrificed her brothers and sister. Especially when 2 of them are laying by the fire. Anybody have a good explanation or interpretation?

Suspiria 2018?

I've been an admirer of The Witch (and The Lighthouse) since I saw them some years ago. Yesterday I saw the 2018 remake of Suspiria and thought it was decent. Curious what this sub thinks of it given the subject matter?

I just watched The Witch (again?) And notices when the mother was with the first boy dying that she had a pretty big hunk of wood or Reed in her finger like a giant splinter. What is the meaning of this? We all know that everything in the movie has relevance but I can't figure this one out.

I’m wondering what instruments are being used in the music from “A Witch Stole Sam”?

I recognize a fiddle/violin, but what’s that clapping/clacking sound? That can’t be simple hands, can it?

The VVitch - A classic case of divide and conquer

What I liked most about the film was how each character gets tempted into falling for sin and the role the "devil" plays in the story.

My theory is that every death is related to a sin, although I'm having trouble relating some of the 7 deadly sins to some of the deaths. For example, when ThomaSIN's baby brother gets snatched from her or the mother's character on how she looses faith and turns against her own child. But I can relate Lust to Calebs death, Wrath to William's character and Greed to Thomasin's character by the end of the film.

I call it a classic case of divide and conquer, because Caleb returning to his family and dying in the way he did, really sparked disbelief in the entire family and made one of the most interesting characters in the film, William, start doubting his faith in god.

Black Philip goat breed?

I’m sure this has been asked before but I’ve been searching the internet and finding nothing! Does anyone know what breed(s) of goat they used for Black Philip? It’s driving me mad not knowing

Added scenes, or misremembering? (spoilers)

So we watched The Witch years ago, then watched it again tonight and I swear there are scenes that I simply don't recall being there the first time. Specifically, all the scenes of seeing a literal woman witch: at the beginning with the baby, the younger woman with Caleb encountering the cabin in the woods, and the old witch in the barn near the end drinking milk. Also, I remember when Black Philip spoke, it was the literal goat, not a man walking around. This version in my head is much better as up until the end, you thought this family was just going crazy and blaming "witches" for their bad luck, then reality hits. All the women at the end with the fire was the first time seeing actual witches. Am I crazy? Mandela effect here?
