Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAs a promotional gimmick for the US release of "Witchcraft," posters warned the public that: "Only the Witch Deflector can save you from the eerie web of the unknown!" Patrons were told that they could collect their 'Witch Deflector', a glow-in-the-dark green badge, from the theatre staff.
- GoofsBill and Todd tell Tracy that May Eve is the witch's sabbat called "Roodmas", then proceed to name "the four great sabbats" as Candlemas, Roodmas, "Beltane in midsummer", and Halloween. Roodmas is actually the Christian Feast of the Cross, it's celebrated on May 3 or September 14, and has nothing to do with witches. Beltane is the actual May Eve sabbat, and doesn't happen in midsummer (that would be Litha, which is not one of the four great sabbats). Candlemas and Halloween are correct, but in reference to witches' religious customs, they should be more appropriately called Imbolc and Samhain, respectively. Lughnasadh is the missing fourth sabbat.

Better Than You Might Expect
When I finally caught up with it, this turned out to be a nice little mid-1960s thriller, made very much in the style of a Hammer Films production (indeed, as such it makes a suitable double-feature with the film it's paired with on DVD, DEVILS OF DARKNESS)- it makes good use of settings, has a decent script and quite adequate acting (especially a typically hammy late-career performance from Lon Chaney Jr), and evokes a very effective atmosphere of evil. What I was most surprised about (and impressed with) was the striking black-and-white photography and lighting, which really contributed to that atmosphere, particularly in its use of the reawakened witch. Definitely a fun, creepy movie for a rainy Saturday afternoon!
