Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAs 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 glow-in-the-dark green badge, from the theatre staff.
- GoofsBill and Todd tell Tracy that May Eve is the witch's sabbat called "Roodmas", then proceed to name "the four great sabbats" as Candlemas, Roodmas, "Beltane in midsummer", and Halloween. Roodmas is actually the Christian Feast of the Cross, it's celebrated on May 3 or September 14, and has nothing to do with witches. Beltane is the actual May Eve sabbat, and doesn't happen in midsummer (that would be Litha, which is not one of the four great sabbats). Candlemas and Halloween are correct, but in reference to witches' religious customs, they should be more appropriately called Imbolc and Samhain, respectively. Lughnasadh is the missing fourth sabbat.

Yvette Rees scared the pants off me!
I first saw Witchcraft on TV when i was around seven years old and it scared the pants off me! I used to have this feeling for years afterwards that the witch stood in my garden looking up at my window waiting for me to peek from behind my curtain late at night! Since then of course I've grown up and out of that fear (ive also moved house umpteenth times) and if anything i now find the witch (Yvette Rees) quite sexy and she could haunt me anytime! Even though I'm lucky enough to own a copy of the film i think its a shame that it isn't available on DVD. Its now perhaps thought of as dated and is to all intents forgotten but for me it will always remain the horror movie that showed me for the first time what the cinema was capable of. Itll always have a special place in my heart. Ill watch it every now and again and it takes me straight back to my childhood and daring myself to peek around that bedroom curtain. A forgotten horror classic.
