Random Abigail Williams related things

I was just browsing wikipedia the other day, and discovered that there is an American Black Metal band named 'Abigail Williams'. Abigail Williams, along with her cousin Betty Parris, was the first person to accuse people in Salem of practicing witchcraft.

Band Member Thomas G. Plaguehammer (not his real name, perhaps?) said of the name:

The accuser is always relevant in society. In America there were the witch trials, the Red Scare, and now terrorism. Everyone is always quick to point a finger; we do it out of fear, prejudice, and because of things we don’t understand. So, the accuser will always be present in society. Abigail Williams really stuck out to us, not only due to the above mentioned, but also because it possessed that iconic quality, while still sounding very American. We want people to know where we are from, and that even though it may not be cool/trendy, we are proud of our American culture.

Nice. Over 300 years later and that 11 year old girl is still remembered for her role in Salem.

And on a similar note, the movie The Sorcerer's Apprentice (don't ask- fun family movie night at the Melton household) also features Abigail Williams- as a witch herself, who gets ressurected and killed again with-in the space of roughly 4 minutes (I didn't time it.)

Boo-ya. I felt significantly smarter for explaining who she was to my Dad.
