WITCHCRAFT stars Lon Chaney Jr. as Morgan Whitlock, the head of a family with ancient ties to black magic and devil worship. Whitlock is upset that the family's ancestral graveyard is being bulldozed for future development. Adding insult to injury, this is being done by the Lanier family, the descendants of the very people who killed many Whitlocks as witches!
Let the feud begin.
This is a wonderfully dark, diabolical film, full of doom and death by bizarre "accidents". The real fun starts when Vanessa Whitlock (Yvette Rees) rises from her cold earth to exact vengeance. She's the perfect ghoul, in a Barbara Steele / Vampira sort of way! Very entertaining, with a nice touch of bleakness. Chaney Jr. is at his best as Whitlock, making one wish he'd been able to continue his career minus his personal difficulties...
