OFF TO THE WITCH returns this week with a our latest newsletter. I'll be back in two weeks with a brand new episode and guest.On this week's newsletter I'll give you an update on some of the projects that I've been burning the midnight lamp to forge and also to discuss a subject that's all at once fascinating and disturbing.In 1990, author Bret Easton Ellis wrote a first-person, macabre satire of a twenty something, privileged investment banker, Patrick Bateman. The fictional Bateman character is also a psychopath. He is delusional, vicious, shallow and slowly descending into his own over indulgence most foul and wicked.Ellis later admitted that the Bateman character was somewhat autobiographical as he was consumed by what a majority of our narcissistic culture is ruled by today. Does Patrick Bateman as an archetypical character walk among us? Could it be your doctor, lawyer, teacher, boyfriend/girlfriend or our next president? Join me tonight for a discussion regarding the true monsters among us…Tonight's newsletter premieres at 8:00 pm ET on all podcast platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more.The new episodes also premiere on my YouTube channel at OFF TO THE WITCH.If you're new to the podcast you can listen to over 100 episodes in our back catalog anytime.Stay tuned for much more.#christophergaretano #offtothewitch #americanpsycho #podcast #psychopath #serialkiller #newepisode

EPISODE #82 Twenty years ago, I completed a little documentary, shot on video tape, regarding the struggles and dreams of various independent horror movie makers. I knew then the term “independent film” was a bit of a misnomer in the popular zeitgeist as the movie makers I profiled didn't have benefactors in the industry. They weren't praised or beloved. They were unknown to most. Almost all of them were paying out of pocket, and had no business plan or pathway carved for themselves. There was certainly no guarantee for success and most likely the odds were stacked against them. It seemed their desire exceeded their ability in many cases. I understood that very well as Horror Business was made under the same circumstances. I was fresh out of film school when I started shooting and had nothing but a mini DV video camera and an idea.(Horror Business trailer - 2005)https://youtu.be/TV85Yr61J7o?si=rK_Jxh4dvxRgL_NrThe new episode of Off To Witch, Is an honest conversation (in the tradition of Horror Business) with a movie maker who shares a common denominator with all filmmakers from Stanley Kubrick to Ed Wood. It's that irresistible compulsion that drives you, for better or for worse, through any obstacle to make motion pictures no matter what the consequences.Join me as my guest this week is Terry Reid Wickham, a director who has made truly independent horror pictures for over thirty years and his dream and obsession, that has not diminished, only grows stronger at the dawn of his new project. Here's a link to Terry Wickham's latest project: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/beginning-of-the-end--3?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1XcbS7Olwfo5LWl_5G8A9DFrie0hgv0bawygaAOr5CDwy_pPeWfJS9Htk_aem_pto4bjJql6Hnphv3D56vig#/ The new episode of Off To The Witch premieres on Wednesday night at 8:00 pm ET on all major podcast platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts and many more.

On Tonight's Off To The Witch newsletter, I rant about the current state of paranormal TV programming, how it can be elevated and also I discuss how I adopted a completely different perspective while making the first feature length chapter ( A Haunting We Will Go) of my new series.Part of that perspective is that of the spirit. One day we're all going to cross over. What do you experience when you die? Can you imagine the perspective of a ghost? If we meditate on this more perhaps we'll learn to communicate better with the phenomena that we call a haunting.Tonight's episode premieres at 8:00pm ET on all major podcast platforms as well as my YouTube channel.The previous episode will also premiere on YouTube later this week - I was dealing with a computer crash and just getting things back in order.

EPISODE #81 Off To The Witch returns tonight with a brand new episode!The devil has been a portrait in cinema from its inception. Beginning with the magic of the silent era - with movies like Benjamin Christensen's Haxan and the Georges Melies “Faust In Hell” to Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby and William Friedkin's the Exorcist.As it's displayed in art it also mirrors real life. Many of the demonic and devilish displays are based on true accounts.Join me as I explore The Devil In Cinema with an authentic, practicing witch, Krista Brown.Join us tonight (beginning at 8:00 pm ET) New episodes of Off To The Witch premiere every Wednesday night at 8:00pm ET.Off To The Witch can be found on all major podcast platforms as well as my YouTube channel (at offtothewitch)@highlight#offtothewitch #christophergaretano #devil #witch #cinema #horror

While I'm busy in post-production on the first feature length episode of my new series - A Haunting We Will Go, I'm reflecting while editing a segment where I regard the impact that The Amityville Horror (both the tragic murders and subsequent ghost story) had on me as a child. A haunting is not only of paranormal activity. It lives in the mind. If introduced in your formative years, it will always have an effect. I think it's certainly the tragedy of the Defeo family (who we're all murdered in their beds by their eldest son) that is the true mystery and the most haunting aspect of its folklore.

EPISODE #80 I was filming scenes (for A Haunting We Will Go) with Dave Spinks and Serenity Jenny in a cemetery. Something quickly came over Dave. He felt a psychic pull in a particular direction and ultimately he realized there was someone calling him from beyond the grave. It was a young teenage girl whose final resting place represents a life taken too soon from a car accident. On the grave was the etchings of an alien ship and markers were inscribed with poems and prose of her interests in the paranormal. This of course added another story to A Haunting We Will Go.Join us on Wednesday night (beginning at 8:00 pm ET) for a discussion of the events of that day and the story the little girl lost…New episodes of Off To The Witch premiere every Wednesday night at 8:00pm ET.Off To The Witch can be found on all major podcast platforms as well as my YouTube channel (at offtothewitch)@highlight#offtothewitch #ghoststory #haunting #hauntedcemetery #psychic #paranormal

Wrongful persecution and prosecution in the name of heresy has been a plague on society throughout history. There is no human being who owns the right to dehumanize another person for their own grievances and agenda. Even alleged murderers deserve a trial and a full, unbiased examination of the facts before they are entirely condemned. Facts are often manipulated and people are wrongfully accused... even put to death. Throughout our history human beings, and often entire cultures, have been labeled as heretics, witches and even demons in an attempt to completely dehumanize them in social circles and in the public eye.Mindless mobs repeating the phrase “Burn The Witch!!” then countless innocents were destroyed because of the true evil behind the curtain.Often the ones pointing the finger and talking in your ear are guilty of overt narcissism, envy, rage, covetousness; ultimately bearing false witness, all for their own political or personal agenda. Join me (beginning on Wednesday night at 8:00pm ET) for a historical, artistic and cinematic exploration of examples of witch hunts.New episodes of Off To The Witch premiere every Wednesday night at 8:00pm ET.Off To The Witch can be found on all major podcast platforms as well as my YouTube channel (at offtothewitch)@highlight#christophergaretano #offtothewitch #podcast #movie

Do you remember your first experience at the movies?Can you recall how magical it was?The power of motion pictures and all their beauty, wonder, emotion, thrills and imagination is what inspires us. It often shapes the direction of lives and the world at large. Even though it's an art that's just slightly over a century old, there's so much more to be explored.

There's a reality, that wherever you stand chances are highly probable that there are bodies beneath you. Unmarked graves are all around us. Many hauntings are suggested to be the result of desecrated ground.Even today, any geophysical and scientific analysis of what “ghost” activity actually is, has been sparse in comparison to what it could have been if the phenomena was taken seriously, more often. Millions of eyewitness accounts throughout human history should be enough of a foundation to build upon.One story in particular fits this criteria. It occurred just outside of Crosby Texas, between 1980 and 1987. It's called the “Black Hope Curse” and it's a chilling account of a dark shadow that consumed a housing development. Unbeknownst to its residents, it was built (in vulgar disregard) over an old slave cemetery.Voices in the night, transparent images of rotten corpses in the hallways, sickness, untimely death and skeletons found buried in the garden.What happened there?Join me for the latest newsletter where I discuss the usual updates and the terrifying story of Black Hope.New episodes of Off To The Witch premiere every Wednesday night at 8:00pm ET.Off To The Witch can be found on all major podcast platforms as well as my YouTube channel (at offtothewitch)@highlight#christophergaretano #offtothewitch #podcast #haunting #poltergeistactivity #true

EPISODE #78 I've spent years of my life researching and investigating the alleged happenings in Montauk. I created several documentaries & TV programs on the subject. I talked with dozens of people who claimed they were either victims or engineers of underground atrocities -Beatings, drugs, mind manipulation and murder…There's no escaping this story until it's proven to be true. There's too much evidence to support that there was a mind control experiment in sub levels of the Camp Hero Air Force station.For those who don't believe, you're simply lacking in knowledge. Alike programs ( such as MK Ultra and The Holmesburg Prison experiments) were already confirmed to be true. Perhaps you don't want to believe? I don't want to believe it either. I wish it was all a bad dream but unfortunately it isn't.Many people approach me with their “Montauk” stories and every now and then I find something authentic about them.Join me (beginning Wednesday night at 8:00 pm ET) for an interview with Chris Laterreur.

We've all seen the fictional representation of the lone stalker in the woods. It's celebrated in numerous slasher sequels - The deformed, masked creeper that covets your final breath…The reclusive mountain man who studies your every move.Thousands of people have mysteriously vanished or perished in national forests, throughout the years. I've personally investigated several missing cases in Mount Shasta and the details are baffling. Was it something supernatural?Most likely it is someone… Someone who waits and watches.Join me tomorrow night (at 8:00 pm ET) for several chilling tales of the dark wilderness.New episodes of Off To The Witch premiere every Wednesday night at 8:00pm ET.Off To The Witch can be found on all major podcast platforms as well as my YouTube channel (at offtothewitch)@followers Watch the Strange World "Without A Trace" Episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrheGCbh6RY #offtothewitch #christophergaretano #podcast #horror #missing #darkwilderness #mystery #unsolvedmysteries

On June 11th 1963 Thich Quang Duc (a Buddhist monk) self immolated in protest of both the corruption of the South Vietnamese government and the violence they imposed.Within the beauty of our world is the inescapable nature of both beast and man. Both darkness and light.A paradox remains that often throughout history there are protests in society, art, cinema and music, against senseless violence - while others celebrate and parody our mysterious duality.Join me (beginning tonight) for the Off To The Witch newsletter as I explore our violent world.New episodes of Off To The Witch premiere every Wednesday night at 8:00pm ET.Off To The Witch can be found on all major podcast platforms as well as my YouTube channel (at offtothewitch)@followers#offtothewitch #christophergaretano #podcast #horror #violence #cinema #history #art #protest

EPISODE #76 I grew up with the fantasy horror stories of George Romero and Stephen King. As powerful as the subtext and metaphor of Dawn Of The Dead, Cell, The Stand, Day Of The Dead, and Maximum Overdrive was, I could not fathom it all being a possibility in our reality. The dead rising from the grave or hoards of mind controlled humans taking over the world was simply the work of fiction? It seems our nightmares have slowly crept into our reality as an entire consciousness is beginning to change. Who is changing it and why is it happening so quickly? Is artificial intelligence of alien origin? Is there a master plan as minds are in the grip of an unseen force? What is their master plan?Stay tuned for a discussion of our current times and a possible apocalypse that's tantamount to our worst cinematic nightmares. My special guest this week is KBvisions who is a survivor of a bioengineered disease (Morgellons) and offers her perspective on a darkening path before us. I personally believe there's a way to the light but we must act fast and take action now.

On tonight's (OFF TO THE WITCH) newsletter I discuss my forthcoming novel, Montauk Boys - it will be released later this year. It's the fictional tale of five juvenile delinquents who are the target of a nefarious, covert government mind control experiment.Set in 1987 (years after the alleged Montauk Project was said to have taken place) the book is partly based on over a decade of my own research and first hand experience, speaking with people who claim they were victims of several proven and yet unproven government atrocities.I'll read a short chapter from Montauk Boys in my Off To The Witch newsletter on Wednesday night.I can't wait to share this story with all of you. The characters are alive in my mind and I'm excited for this dark adventure to reach beyond your eyes and imagination.#christophergaretano #montaukboys #novel #2024 #montaukproject #montaukchronicles #fiction #horror

EPISODE #75 In 1980, Stanley Kubrick's brilliant adaptation of Stephen King's novel, The Shining, was released in theaters. It was and is forever a masterpiece of not only horror but cinema itself. It required decades of viewings to realize there is much more than meets the eye. It's now known that Stanley Kubrick was intentionally hiding messages deep in the images and dialogue of the picture. What does it all mean? Was he making a statement? Was he confessing to staging the Apollo moon landings? Or are we simply playing into the labyrinth designed by his mischievous hands? My special guest Stephanie Kane (@longislandcraftcutie is obsessed with the subject.

“Yeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta believe meYeah, I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no liesYeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta believe meI saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes, alright, now.”-Black Sabbath We live in extraordinary times. The world is in chaos and a mass exodus of minds have turned to the mystical and supernatural for answers.Much like humans from ancient times, modern minds are claiming to see beyond. They claim that mythical monsters and multidimensional beings surround us.I personally have had my own unexplained experiences but always offer that I simply do not know what it was.Can science explain why?

The latest Off To The Witch newsletter premieres tomorrow night!Like many of you, my childhood was a dynamic spectrum of cinema, art, music, literature and folklore.The monsters that we saw on the page and screen were consistently asserted (by adults) not to be real.Everything from the creep cinema slashers, roaming the dark woods, to unknown creatures of legend, hiding in the shadows, were said to only be from the land of make believe.There's evidence and eyewitnesses now, to support otherwise.Were they lying to us or is there a change to our existence - something happening that's unique to our times?Join me tomorrow night for a discussion of that borderline between fantasy and reality.@followersNew episodes of Off To The Witch premiere every Wednesday night at 8:00 PM ET -wherever you find your podcasts as well as on my YouTube channel (at Off To The Witch)#offtothewitch #new #newepisode #podcast #strange #weird #aliens #ghosts #bigfoot #hauntings #monsters #conspiracy

Join me tonight for latest Off To The Witch newsletter.The world is on fire, a storm is brewing and it's the perfect time to speak our minds.I practice what I preach so tonight is an episode inspired by the 1988 motion picture Talk Radio - directed by Oliver Stone. The movie is a fictional portrayal of a real talk show host who was murdered by a psychotic, obsessive listener. The Barry Champlain character (played by Eric Bogosian) was a provocateur (the man you love to hate) who held a mirror up to the audience and told both truth and lies. His perspective was an example of the frustrations of crumbling society. I'm not Barry Champlain. I can only be me, but I have a candid perspective about the current zeitgeist and I have a few things to say…This episode will premiere at 8:00pm ET on all major podcast platforms as well as my YouTube Channel (with a live chat)@highlight#offtothewitch #talkradio #nighttalk #podcast #newepisode
