I bet this scared the piss outta the folks in 1962. If you're a cult, folk, occult, etc lover like myself, I think you'll love this movie. Some of the cinematography was just awesome, and Chrsitopher Lee is always welcome.
I think this is the youngest Christopher Lee movie I have ever seen to date. This was very low budget and you can tell. It was also very Twilight Zone to me. Did not particularly enjoy the retelling of the Salem Witch Trials - especially the accuracy of events. Although I wonder how much further they could have gone without the Hays Code restrictions.
One of the all time black and white classics. Top 100 horror for me.
Im 67, and I still can feel the places in my chest where this scared the ever loving bejeezus out of me when I was around 12.
great vintage classic. Just needed more Christopher Lee and the bad guys to win!
