Salem packs a punch this week in “Our Own Private America,” not only because of the sharp dialogue and plot thickening with suspense, but because of the memorable special guest starring role of Stephen Lang as the menacing, witch hunter clergyman, Increase Mathers. If the name sounds familiar, it should; Mathers is the father of Salem’s current reverend, Cotton Mathers (Seth Gabel). Interestingly, there is no moral grey area in Increase’s eyes—the means always justifies the end, which doesn’t bode well for some of the characters in Salem. Meanwhile, in town, the witch hysteria spirals out of control as more innocent lives are taken, and the latest addition to the coven, Mercy Lewis (Elise Eberle), begins her training as a witch. Hogwarts watch out!

Penny Dreadful is lurid and deliciously twisted! The writers continue their brilliant onslaught of deft storytelling and superb vision as they lead us down a shadowy, winding path into the murkiest depths of our fears and imaginations.

In April 1944, six weeks before the massive D-Day invasion of France on June 6th, nearly 700 Americans were killed during a clandestine Allied training exercise that went horribly wrong. It resulted in more fatal American casualties than the actual D-Day landings on Utah Beach. In AMERICA’S SECRET D-DAY DISASTER, experts examine a series of major issues leading to unnecessary deaths during the exercise, including the Army-issued life belt that differed from those worn by the Navy and an awful tragedy associated with the M1 helmet, which a large number of the army troops wore.
