THE Witches is definitely up there with the most traumatising kid's films of all time. That gruesome scene where they all rip off their faces to reveal their true selves is enough to give a grown adult nightmares.

And what about that horrifying moment the Grand High Witch turned young Luke Eveshim into a mouse after he tried to stop her from harming his granny?

Seriously chilling stuff. But what ever happened to child actor Jasen Lee Fisher who played Luke? Having previously portrayed Kevin Buckman in the 1989 film Parenthood, he went on to star in the fantasy film based on Roald Dahl's book a year later and was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Performance by a Younger Actor.

Jasen then landed the role of Ace, one of the Lost Boys in the 1991 film Hook, receiving a Young Artist Award as part of its ensemble cast.

Disney+ Won’t Take Ads for Alcohol, Politics to Keep Venue Family Friendly

Brian Steinberg Senior TV EditorNot every marketer is likely to get its commercials on a new ad-supported version of Disney+.The popular streaming service — home to Marvel movies, the “Star Wars” series and hours of signature kids’ programming — is about to unveil a new ad-supported tier, part of a broader move by big entertainment companies like Disney to lure new subscribers to its broadband entertainment hubs with cheaper subscription levels. Indeed, the new option is one of the most-anticipated developments of the looming TV “upfront,” when TV networks try to sell the bulk of their commercial inventory for the next programming cycle.But Disney is being careful, according to two media buyers with knowledge of recent discussions between the company and advertising agencies, wary of overwhelming the streaming outlet with a glut of ads that might obscure the service’s family-friendly environment.

Nina Kraviz dropped from Clone Distribution over alleged “pro-Putin” views

Nina Kraviz and her трип (Trip Recordings) label have been dropped from Clone Distribution after its founder alleged that she harbours “pro-Putin” views.The Russian DJ hasn’t spoken publicly about Russia’s war against Ukraine except for posting a video in February of a handwritten note with the word “peace” written in Russian.NME has contacted Kraviz’s representatives for comment about the allegations.Clone Recordings founder Serge Verschuur outlined the decision in a blog post last week (May 12) in which he criticised Kraviz for her alleged “pro-Putin” views and “CCCP/USSR sentiments”, claiming that she is “using Putin’s law as an excuse not to speak out”.A post shared by Nina Kraviz (@ninakraviz)In a recent article, Time magazine collected responses from several prominent members of the electronic music scenes in Ukraine and Russia, including the Ukrainian DJ Nastia and the Russian DJ Buttechno, who have also criticised Kraviz’s apparent “silence” and asked her to provide clarity about her views on Russian President Vladimir Putin and the war.But Kraviz’s defenders have argued that the DJ has no involvement with the war in Ukraine and that freedom of speech includes the freedom to say nothing at all. A representative for Kraviz did not respond to Time‘s request for comment.Supporters in the Time article also cited Russia’s recently introduced laws that forbid anti-war protests, slogans and independent journalism, as well as the potential threats that come with being a Russian dissident.In Verschuur’s blog post he wrote that he supports Kravitz’s right to remain silent, but added that it puts an end to their business relationship.“Let me be very clear about the fact that it is her right to do so.
