Teenagers must have been vastly disappointed by this one, even in 1961.
This is the old story of a witch who returns from the grave to get vengeance on the descendents of those that burnt her at the stake. Â The only difference is that she wears a see-through negligee most of the time.
If you watch the clip you will see the high point of the movie – and with better music. Â Larry Buchanan went on to specialize in soft-core porn. Â This isn’t quite that but has the same basic vibe. Â Don’t waste your time.
It’s on to more mainstream viewing today!
Witch’s dance synched to In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida – pretty amazing synchronization!
I have a feeling you’re not going to get many comments from people who’ve seen this. But I saw it! I got it on VHS from Sinister Cinema (or maybe Something Weird Video) and saw it years and years ago! Probably in the 1990s.
I rather liked The Naked Witch. Because it was not just bad, it was particularly bad, in a number of ways that are unique to The Naked Witch. Not quite in the same category as Manos the Hands of Fate or Red Zone: Cuba, but close enough for most purposes.
Highly entertaining for those who like this kind of thing.
It’s a strange one for sure. How do you feel about The Beast of Yucca Flats?
You think that The Beast of Yucca Flats is the worst movie ever made. And then you see one of Coleman Francis’s other movies!
More Coleman Francis? Can’t wait! I hope he gives us his “philosophy” in each one!
The one to see is Red Zone: Cuba, also known as Night Train to Mundo Fine. John Carradine sings the title song!
I am absolutely THERE!
