TAGLINES : "After 300 years in the grave ... they returned to reap blood havoc!" "Hex Marks the Spot!" - PLOT SUMMARY : When her grave is disturbed by modern-day land developers, a 300-year-old witch is accidentally resurrected and terrorizes an English village. Since the 17th Century when the Lanier's buried a Whitlock woman alive as a witch and took over the Whitlock estate, the Whitlocks have hungered for revenge. Against the wishes of both families, Amy Whitlock and Bill Lanier are planning on getting married. The Laniers have sent bulldozers onto the old Whitlock Estate to level the land for a construction project. Morgan Whitlock and his daughter Amy make a futile effort to stop the bulldozers that overturn headstones and churn up graves in the Whitlock Cemetery. That night, an overturned coffin opens and Vanessa Whitlock, the witch buried centuries ago, rises from the grave. Together with Morgan, they use their supernatural powers and soon, one-by-one, the Laniers meet with fatal accidents. Tracy Lanier follows Amy into the family crypt and is astonished to see Vanessa and her witches in weird supernatural rites. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : It was released with little success in 1964 but was withdrawn and double-billed with "The Horror of It All" with new paper the same year. This second release included a William Castle-type giveaway gimmick. As 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 green badge from the theatre.
VIEWER COMMENT: "Absolutely petrifying! Yvette Rees scared the pants off me! Desecrated tombs, family feuds, hypnotizing witches & Lon Chaney Jr too; Hell yeah!! Freaky Stuff! What a wonderfully creepy and atmospheric film about a witch getting her revenge from beyond the grave. A nifty 60's witchcraft horror feature and still a very spook tale. RECOMMEND!!"
