British journalist Geoff Barton stated in his 1981 five-star review of Welcome to Hell that the album had "the hi-fi dynamics of a 50-year-old pizza", and that it "brought a new meaning to the word 'cataclysmic' ". According to AllMusic journalist Eduardo Rivadavia, highlights of the album include "Welcome to Hell", "In League with Satan", "One Thousand Days in Sodom" and "Witching Hour"; Rivadavia said of "Witching Hour": "Possibly Venom's single most important track, in it you'll hear a number of stylistic devices which would later pervade all extreme metal genres, indeed become their most regularly abused clichés." Canadian journalist Martin Popoff wrote that "Welcome to Hell got a certain fabulously stupid impetus to it, despite the sub-bootleg quality recording, and Cronos quickly establishing himself as the most annoying voice in rock"; it should be considered "a record of historical metal relevance", but "not the band's most listenable product".

The first are angels who fell in love with certain parts of nature and became spirits of rocks, mountains, and trees; they did not return to Heaven.

Memnoch becomes impatient with God's constant assurances that all is well, despite the pain and suffering of life and death.

Considering a possible colonization of Mars, one question that arose was "how does one convert a Sol to standard Earth time?" In the science fiction series Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson, the Mars settlers use traditional Earth watches that stop ticking at midnight for 39 minutes and 40 seconds before resuming their timekeeping. This creates something like a "witching hour" which compensates for the time difference between a Sol and an Earth day. This follows the method previously given by Philip K. Dick in his novel Martian Time-Slip. An alternative idea was suggested in 1988 by David Powell (the Davidian Mars calendar).

Jazz Monroe of Drowned in Sound called the material "virtuosic and exquisite" while describing the lyrical content as "romantic but unglamorous … [and the band] take their time to reflect love's ambiguity". Monroe summarized: "While a gentler, more complex thing, [Warpaint] leans hard on atmosphere and collapses, elegantly". The Quietus writer Mof Gimmers referred to Warpaint as "a record spun with a rich synthetic ambience, resulting in a curious mixture of the pleasant and uneasy" and said that the songs "exude an intense, intoxicated arousal, with lip-fattening blood rushes, grotty cinematic witching-hour horniness and David Lynchian daydream fucks" in his positive review. AllMusic writer Heather Phares wrote that there was a "undeniably darker cast" to the album's songs in contrast to the band's previous releases.

The title of the album repeats the name of the Nobel Prize-winning author William Golding's famous novel Lord of the Flies about a group of children going wild on a deserted island and committing atrocities there. They eventually start worshipping a dead pig's head, calling it Lord of the Flies, which is a translation of the name of Beelzebub, a satanic being. NOSFERATU's "Lord of The Flies" album was recorded and mixed at House in The Woods Residential Studio, Bletchingley Surrey in July and August 1997. Rat Scabies formerly of The Damned, drummed on the songs "Witching Hour", "Torturous" and "Ascension" and was driven to the recording studio by Segs (The Ruts) due to Rat having severed a tendon in his thumb.

Random House Audio originally released abridged audiobook adaptations of all three Mayfair Witches novels on audio cassette, with narrators Lindsay Crouse (The Witching Hour), Joe Morton (Lasher), and Tim Curry (Taltos). They were re-released as a three-book "Value Collection" on CD in 2005, and digitally in 2013. In 2015, new unabridged audiobook adaptations were released digitally by Random House Audio for all three novels in the trilogy, performed by Kate Reading. Development rights to The Lives of the Mayfair Witches were still held by Warner Bros in December 2019, when Rice began shopping a package combining film and TV rights to both The Vampire Chronicles and Mayfair Witches. Rice was reportedly asking around $30 to $40 million, plus a $2.5 million buyout of Warner Bros.’ rights, and the new owner would hold the rights in perpetuity, not just as an option.

In both Philip K. Dick's novel Martian Time-Slip and Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy (1992–1996), clocks retain Earth-standard seconds, minutes, and hours, but freeze at midnight for 39.5 minutes. As the fictional colonization of Mars progresses, this "timeslip" becomes a sort of witching hour, a time when inhibitions can be shed, and the emerging identity of Mars as a separate entity from Earth is celebrated. (It is not said explicitly whether this occurs simultaneously all over Mars, or at local midnight in each longitude.) Also in the Mars Trilogy, the calendar year is divided into twenty-four months. The names of the months are the same as the Gregorian calendar, except for a "1" or "2" in front to indicate the first or second occurrence of that month (for example, 1 January, 2 January, 1 February, 2 February).

A fenodyree in Manx folklore is considered a kind of fairy (), covered with copious amounts of body hair, normally conducting itself in a naked state without wearing any clothing. Comparable to Anglo-Scottish brownie, the creature is said to be oftentimes helpful to humans, performing arduous tasks such as transporting great blocks of stone, or clipping meadow grass with stupendous speed. For his talent in the grass-cutting skill, he has earned the nickname or "the nimble mower", and is sung in a Manx ballad by that very title. A bit of leftover food was all he asked for reward, according to a ballad: "His was the wizard hand that toil'd / At midnight's witching hour / That gather'd the sheep from the coming storm", and all he required were "scattered sheafs" and "cream-bowl" left on the meal table.

" Dancing Astronaut's Christ Stack noted Rezz's growth in sound as "expectedly wider and deeper", writing that Rezz is "the epitome of artistry through and through, and maybe it takes a Certain Kind of Magic for other's within her grasp to realize." Michael Cooper of Dancing Astronaut stated that "Witching Hour" acts as proof that "[Rezz] isn't slowing down one bit", noting the song for its "spidery, skittering percussion and reverb-heavy synth lines to set a fitting ominous mood." Your EDM's Matthew Meadow wrote that the song was a "stellar introduction to the new Rezz sound on the album", describing it as a mix between her usual style with an "invigorated drive and purpose". Jayce Ullah- Blocks of EDM Identity stated that he couldn't help but enjoy the track, describing it as having a "sort of alien forcefulness about it.

The extent, however, to which his name and reputation was valued in the entertainment industry may be judged by the article which appeared in a March 1933 issue of California Eagle in conjunction with the release of MGM's Gabriel Over the White House, one of the eight features in which Larkin had parts that year. Although his role as Sebastian, the president's valet was uncredited, the Eagle ran a story, "Hollywood Respects Larkin as Real Star of the Film", alongside a photograph with a caption, "High Pay Man", stating that he was earning a greater salary that any other black performer in film. Between 1931 and his death in March 1936, Larkin appeared in at least 45 films for nearly every studio in Hollywood which, in addition to Warners and MGM, included RKO (1931's Men of Chance, 1933's The Great Jasper), Paramount (1934's The Witching Hour), Universal (1935's A Notorious Gentleman) and Republic (1936's Frankie and Johnny).
