When she arrives at Whitewood, she notices macabre happenings, Soon, things begin to happen in earnest, and she finds herself "marked" for sacrifice by the undead coven of witches.

What an awesome movie! I remember as a kid my sisters and I watching this in the dark on the sofa. Then my oldest sister had to turn the lights on upstairs before we could go up to bed. We climbed the stairs as a group...Terrified! Great memories! - @Thursday, June 24, 2010 1:12 AM

This was such a scary movie when I was a kid...I remember watching it in NY on Creature Feature. Unreal... - @Saturday, July 25, 2009 3:33 PM

i saw this film for the first time on a Saturday at noon on the old "Creature Features' in New York. I couldn't been more than 7 years old, and it is still the only horror movie that ever scared the crap out of me...that and the American versoin of ,The Conquereor Worm", two years later with Vincent Price. The greatest genre in the history of film! - @Thursday, July 23, 2009 4:06 AM

This is one of the very best old B & W horror movies from the golden age of horror 1955-1965.I used to watch this on Saturay nights on Creature Features or Chiller and it still creeps me out a little. - @Tuesday, May 20, 2008 2:26 PM
