VIDE⛧COVEN returns this week for a double dose of Joan Crawford at her fiercest in MOMMIE DEAREST, a campy biopic starring Faye Dunaway and STRAIT-JACKET from William Castle featuring Joan Crawford as an ax-wielding mom.

Mommie Dearest:
In this biographical film, glamorous yet lonely star Joan Crawford (Faye Dunaway) takes in two orphans, and at first their unconventional family seems happy. But after Joan’s attempts at romantic fulfillment go sour and she is fired from her contract with MGM studios, her callous and abusive behavior towards her daughter Christina (Diana Scarwid) becomes even more pronounced. Christina leaves home and takes her first acting role, only to find her mother’s presence still overshadowing her.

Strait-Jacket
After a twenty-year stay at an asylum for a double murder, a mother returns to her estranged daughter where suspicions arise about her behavior.
