I'm looking for a witch movie from the 60s-70s. My dad saw this movie as a kid as he said that it is still to this day the scariest movie he ever saw. The only scene he can remember from it is a part in the movie when they are killing a "witch" and they lay her down and put a slab of wood over her and stack huge rocks on top of it until she squishes. Please help!!

I don't remember if that exact "squishing" scene was in it, but when I think scary witch movie from the 1960s I immediately think BLACK SUNDAY.  Couldn't hurt to give it a watch anyway, it's a classic.

Witchfinder General (1968) with Vincent Price had a scene such as you described: the victim was put under a slab of wood and rocks were piled on.  Pretty grim.

Crowhaven Farm also had a similar scene to that but I agree with Newt on Witchfinder General.

I watched the Witchfinder General and the scene was not in there. I'll try Black Sunday now.

There is a scene in CROWHAVEN FARM in which Hope Lange has rocks and boards placed on her.

CROWHAVEN FARM was the first one that came to my for me too.

It was Crowhaven Farm :)

Glad to be of help: that film scared the sh*t out of me as a kid ~ so your Dad is not alone ~ and to think it was made for TV!  :buggedout: :buggedout:
