Quick Answer

What is Night of the Witches about?

Night of the Witches is a 1971 Canadian-American comedy, crime, and horror film directed by Keith Larsen about a thieving preacher who tries to blackmail a coven of witches in a seaside mansion.

Programmer's Pick

Witchcraft, extortion, and psychotronic sleaze collide on the Mexican coast, where the only thing less trustworthy than a fake preacher is the cult of witches he tries to double-cross. If you like your horror with a side of blackmail and a seaside view, this one's got your number.

Overview

In Night of the Witches, a lecherous thief masquerading as a preacher travels through the northern coast of Mexico, seducing the very women he claims to save. After stealing a car and dodging the authorities, he crosses paths with a man hawking offshore islands—a meeting that leads them both to a secluded seaside mansion. There, he discovers a mysterious high priestess, her devoted servant, and a coven of witches who deal out deadly justice to those they deem wicked. Sensing an opportunity, the preacher attempts to extort a share of a hidden fortune from the witches, unaware that their hospitality comes with lethal consequences. The film blends crime, horror, and dark comedy in a lurid, independent package.
