Title: Looking for name of 60's/70's witch film Post by: kristynron on March 24, 2010, 03:10:44 PM I saw a movie about witches a long time ago that was probably a 60's movie but maybe a 70's. The main scene I remember was when they tested the witches with drowning they used a catapult looking contraption with a basket ont the end for the witch to be locked in. Then they lowered the basket into the water. If anyone has any idea of the title of this movie, I'd really appreciate it. I doubt that it is on dvd but I'd really like to see it again.

If one of the other old horror buffs sees the thread, I'm sure they could confirm or deny. Unfortunately, I do not have a copy in my collection to verify - and it has been a very long time since I saw the film.

heres a trailer for the WITCHFINDER GENERAL- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62jRzyWJpOw ...OR...from 1970....NIGHT OF THE BLOOD MONSTER...with Chris Lee! (which I have yet to see!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wgKEjktTh4 Title: Re: Looking for name of 60's/70's witch film Post by: kristynron on March 24, 2010, 07:16:43 PM I checked out The Witchfinders General and that is not it. I was hoping, though. The movie I'm looking for I believe is not as well made as this one. I will now try and check out the Christopher Lee movie to see if that's the one. But thanks for the tip on The Witchfinders General. It is a similar type movie.

Please keep trying to find out more about the movie. Thanks to both.
