Halloween Queen
Starring Olive Black
Olive’s back and this time she’s playing a wicked witch in Halloween Queen. With a movie set full of potions, spells and special effects, it should be a total fun fest (even when her co-star is Sofia La Bully-Bum). Every day Olive is transformed into an ugly, evil witch while her nemesis looks like an angel. Luckily, everyone knows it’s what’s inside that counts. Right?

Behind the scenes
- Olive plays a witch in Halloween Queen and spends hours in hair and make up. In writing the make-up scenes I used my favourite on-screen witch for inspiration – the Grand High Witch from Roald Dahl’s The Withes. Check out the video below to get an idea of what’s involved in creating a character like this.
