EDITOR’S NOTE: Night of the Witches was first on Chiller Theater on Saturday, January 13, 1973 at 1 a.m. It also aired on December 8, 1974; July 17, 1976 and June 11, 1977.
A man pretending to be a preacher (Keith Larsen, who also directed and co-wrote this movie with Vincent Fotre — the English scriptwriter of Baron Blood) is running from the law all through Mexico when he meets an island of witches led by Cassandra (Kathryn Loder, The Big Doll House). He think that they will be easy marks for his abilities, but come on, man. They’re witches.
This movie is more weird than good — yes, that can happen — with the preacher having a chorus on the soundtrack that sings “Amen” to everything he says.
Roxanne Brewer, an adult star, shows up in the cast using the name Susie Edgell. So does Julie Conners from Trader Hornee and Count Yorga, Vampire. The dancing and soundtrack make this, as does the fact that it played double features — “Don’t Be Afraid to Scream in Your Seats! This is the Double Horror Show of All Time!” — with Frankenstein On Campus.
