The Curse of the Frozen Gole is a chilling tale that has been passed down through generations in a small village nestled deep within the mountains. Legend has it that a powerful sorcerer once inhabited the village, known for his mastery over ice and snow. This sorcerer, named Draven Frostbane, used his magic to create a golem made entirely of ice and enchanted it with a spirit. The villagers were initially in awe of the magnificent frozen golem, believing that Draven had created a protector for their community. However, they soon realized that the golem possessed an ominous aura, with its glowing blue eyes and frigid touch. They feared the potential danger that this creature held, and their worst fears came to fruition when the golem suddenly turned hostile.
The stereotypical image of the haggard witch with a pointy black hat and warty nose stirring a magical potion in her cauldron actually stems from a pagan goddess known as "the crone," who was honored during Samhain. The crone was also known as "the old one" and the "Earth mother," who symbolized wisdom, change, and the turning of the seasons. Today, the kind, all-knowing old crone has morphed into the menacing, cackling witch.

AMC‘s adaptation of Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches novels has cast Jack Huston in a key role.
Huston (FX’s Fargo, The Irishman) will play Lasher, a powerful shape shifter who has been bound to the Mayfair witches for hundreds of years. He joins a cast that also includes Alexandra Daddario, Harry Hamlin and Tongayi Chirisa.
Mayfair Witches, ordered to series in December, is based on Rice’s Lives of the Mayfair Witches novel trilogy. It’s currently filming in New Orleans and slated to premiere later this year on the AMC+ streaming service. It’s the second series based on Rice’s work at AMC Networks, which acquired to rights to a number of the author’s works in a 2020 deal. AMC is also at work on Interview With the Vampire, based on Rice’s Vampire Chronicles books.
Mayfair Witches centers on Dr. Rowan Fielding (Daddario), a young neurosurgeon who discovers she’s the unlikely heir to a family of witches. As she comes to terms with her newfound powers, she must contend with a sinister presence that has haunted her family for generations. Hamlin will play Cortland Mayfair in the series, while Chirisa plays Ciprien.
Esta Spalding and Michelle Ashford (Showtime’s Masters of Sex) are writing and executive producing the series, with Spalding (who has an overall deal with AMC) serving as showrunner. Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) is overseeing the development of Rice’s works into a TV and streaming universe.
Huston is coming off Amazon’s limited series Expats and Ridley Scott’s film House of Gucci. The former Boardwalk Empire star’s other recent credits include Manhunt: Deadly Games and Antebellum. He is repped by UTA, 111 Media , Narrative PR and JSSK.
"I am open and ready to attract and receive all the love and abundance the universe has to offer. And so it is!"
The once-thriving village was reduced to a frozen wasteland, with buildings and trees encased in a layer of frost. Desperate for a solution, the villagers sought the help of an elderly witch who lived on the outskirts of the village. With her wisdom and knowledge of ancient spells, she was their last hope. After performing an intricate ritual, the witch managed to weaken the golem's power, temporarily halting its destruction. Realizing that they couldn't defeat the golem alone, the villagers decided to embark on a quest to find an artifact that could permanently break the curse. Legends spoke of a sacred amulet hidden deep within the heart of the mountains, said to hold the power to dispel any enchantment. The journey was treacherous, as they had to navigate treacherous slopes, face freezing temperatures, and ward off dangerous creatures that inhabited the mountains. After weeks of searching and countless hardships, the villagers finally discovered the hidden cave that housed the sacred amulet. Armed with the amulet, the villagers returned to their frozen village and confronted the golem once more. Using the amulet's power, they managed to break the curse that had plagued their village for so long. The golem dissolved into a pool of water, melting away the frozen remnants of their once beautiful community. With the curse lifted, life slowly returned to the village. The frost-covered buildings and vegetation thawed, and the villagers rebuilt their homes, grateful for their newfound freedom. The tale of the Curse of the Frozen Golem serves as a reminder of the power of unity, perseverance, and the triumph of good over evil..
