Like other Krofft villains, Witchiepoo wasn’t really evil. She was just a wacky eccentric, who wanted something she could not have, and surrounded by incompetent buffoons.

Pufnstuf was definitely trippy, psychedelic with a vengeance. But it was just a teeny bit unsettling. Like being on a boat in a stormy sea.

Besides Witchipoo, Billie also helped out in Lidsville as Weenie the Genie.
She always did have a nice smile underneath all that makeup.

Sid was just talking about her on his live Instagram feed this past Sunday saying that she was still with us after he was asked about her.
