Vincent Price at his finest. And a truly horrifying, graphic film, not for the faint of heart.

Also released as Witchmaster General, the movie shows some of the methods used in that time and place to extract confessions from the accussed, including throwing suspected witches into a river: If you are innocent, you drown and die. If you don't drown, you are 'guilty' and sentenced to a more gruesome death.

I love the ending though.
