"Season of the Witch" is a song by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan released in August 1966 on his third studio album, Sunshine Superman.
In 2019, Lana Del Rey covered the song for the soundtrack of the film Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
[6] They included Lenny Matlin on keyboards, Don Brown on lead electric guitar, Bobby Ray on bass and "Fast" Eddie Hoh on drums.
Both lyrically as well as musically, the languid and trippy contents project a dark foreboding atmosphere [and] a sort of sinister tale of paranoia and the paranormal".
[7] John Bush called the song "easily [one of the two] the highlights of the album ... a chugging eve-of-destruction tale".
