A resurrected witch unleashes seductive terror on rural Texas in this 1964 horror curio.
THE NAKED WITCH
She had the Body of a Goddess and the Soul of a Witch.
A student researching the German settlements of Central Texas unearths the grave of a reputed witch. The witch (who happens to be both beautiful and naked) rises from her grave and embarks on a campaign of seduction and murder against the descendants of her persecutors. It's up to the student to stop her bloody reign of terror-if he can resist the seductive powers of her evil beauty.
From the vault: proof that in 1960s Texas, even the witches went au naturel.
Larry Buchanan’s The Naked Witch delivers exactly what the title promises: rural Texas, a vengeful undead beauty, and a student who probably should’ve stuck to the library. With its brisk runtime and a clear affection for drive-in shock, this one’s a must for fans of regional horror oddities and supernatural seduction.
