With all three debates behind us, I think we deserve a good laugh this election cycle. So forget for a minute the dooming possibility of tangerine Caligula running our country and reminisce on a spooky childhood classic.
Gary Johnson- Sarah Sanderson
Much like this Sanderson sister sings to lure the children of Salem to their house, Johnson uses his siren song of simply being a third party candidate to attract disillusioned voters. Naive to the modern world and perhaps not the sharpest of the sisters, Sarah Sanderson has plenty of "Aleppo moments" throughout the film.
Hillary Clinton- Winifred Sanderson
Both are unarguably the HBIC. These leaders of the pack have no time for trivial matters, and much like Winnie quite literally shut up Billy Butcherson, HRC shut down every man who told her she couldn't reach the top. Hillary shattered the glass ceiling, Winifred shattered the Dennison's roof. Both have a rather rough history with appealing to the youths.
Jill Stein- Mary Sanderson
Perhaps the lesser known of the trio, Mary Sanderson pretty much serves only one purpose: to sniff out children. The single-issue Green Party candidate is using her campaign to promote a sustainable society. Stein isn't actually half bad at "sniffing out" children either, as many of her supporters are millennials formerly for Bernie Sanders.
Donald Trump- The Devil
I really couldn't resist on this one. A close runner-up was the iconic bully "Ice". But much like Trump, the Devil -or as the Sanderson Sisters call him, "The Master"- is kind of just in it for the ride. He played along with the witches' fantasy because he enjoyed the attention. A strong woman (the devil's wife) eventually handled the situation and ended the reckless facade.
I really hope this didn't just ruin the movie for you. In the words of President Obama: "Don't boo, vote" (unless it's Halloween, then do both).
