As Witches are the Theme of Halloween Horror Movie Madness and I'm happy to oblige.
This is a British Film, so it should be classy AF. It is...
They also disturb a Witch's grave, so...fair complaint.

It was done at the behest of the Partner of our Hero, who is developing the land for Houses.
He also seems to live in Stately Wayne Manor.
The greedy man is killed via Voodoo Doll (they say it is something else) in his Bathtub.
The Policeman- who looks like Leslie Nielsen's Stunt Double- talks to everyone and brings Chaney in on suspicion, since he, you know, threatened the guy an hour before he was choked to death in the bathtub.
It's actually this Witch here.
You see, there's a family feud since Chaney's Family was accused of Witchcraft and chased out of Town, with their land going to the other family.
To be fair, they were proven right about him...
She comes for revenge as Roodmas is near.
Is anyone safe?
Can they stop Not Barbara Steele and save the day?
To find out, stream the Film now.
Let's get the obvious thing out of the way- does anything that unique happen in this Film? No.
The whole thing is very stock, with its proper Brits, secret sect, a Witch and other quite common things in these Films. It even- 58 year old SPOILERS Alert- ends in a big fire. They could be living in the same County as the place from Village of the Damned. Get the idea?
That said, it is still pretty fun, if quite stock. Everyone is fine in it and it's well-made.
If you like these kinds of Films, its another one. There are worse ones. There are better ones.
My big takeaway- 1964 Lon Chaney Jr is giving me real Bela Lugosi vibes.
It's alright. It's not exactly enchanting or bewitching, but it is fine.
