There's SUSPIRIA, I guess, but it is mostly scary because it is incoherent. I finally tracked down CROWHAVEN FARM (1970)(TV) and it was a big let-down, the Lolita elements were the scariest part. It's kind of hard to build witches into a viable threat since they've become a caricature, Frankenstein's monster syndrome. Plus I tend to identify with the witches since I too am persecuted by the squares/roundheads for my alternative religious beliefs and it turns into the same problem where I always identify with the criminals on cop shows; frustration and disappointment and the sense that no matter what I do I will lose. That's fear of a sort, but it's existential fear and hits entirely too close to home since I have to cope with it every waking moment of my existence. And frankly I would prefer having a nightmare to being awake. So school me, horror mavens!
Scary Witch Movies?
i kind of thought Witches
i kind of thought Witches was scary...the part when the boy is turned into a rat gave me nightmares when I was younger.
also in the movie they keep saying that they turn children into mice...but they were always turning them into rats and called them mice anyways.
witch hunt (1994) (TV)
FINN MACHA [Julian Sands, atrocious cod-Teutonic]: Moses on a pony if it isn't fair Lovecraft! How's the world treating you, dickface?
H. PHILLIP LOVECRAFT [Dennis Hopper, bogartin']: I thought you were in Chicago.
FM: Oh, you miss the friendly people. And the orange juice.
HPL: What are you doin' for Gottlieb?
FM: [drags on cigarette] Privileged information. But from one large member to another, he called me in as a security consultant -- and expediter. I tie up loose ends.
HPL: It seems to me they're still lookin' fer a couple'a people you 'expedited.'
FM: [humphs] Hrm. Are you still chasing naughty husbands, dickface? And drying the tears of those poor lonely wifey-poos?
HPL: Tell me something. Honestly. [dennishoppers in a scarcely suppressed fury] DO I LOOK LIKE I HAVE A DICK ON MY FACE?!
