Damiano Damiani's La strega in amore (The Witch, 1966), unconventional Italian gothic horror in a modern setting. A writer gets involved with a woman who may be a witch. Very decadent. It's also a noirish psychosexual melodrama. Great stuff.

Legend of the Witches (1970), an odd faux-documentary taking a sympathetic look at witchcraft in the modern world and with re-enactments (possibly quite realistic) of witchcraft rituals, laced with copious nudity. And some vague hippie touches.

Psychomania is a 1973 British zombie biker movie. It’s terrible, but kind of great as well. A biker discovers how to come back from the dead. More of a witchcraft or even a satansploitation movie than a zombie movie. Totally nuts but great fun.

An Angel for Satan, a great under-appreciated 1966 Italian psycho-sexual gothic horror film. A woman who looks just like an ancient statue, hints of witchery, diffuse and subtle evil, erotic undercurrents and Barbara Steele at her best.

The Beast and the Magic Sword, a 1983 Spanish-Japanese co-production written/directed by Paul Naschy. Filmed partly in Spain, partly in Japan.

There's a witch and a curse and a werewolf who seeks to be cured of his lycanthropy. And a girl ninja!

Excellent surprisingly nuanced movie.

The Naked Witch (1961). A student is researching the superstitions of the German community in Texas.

He's interested in the legend of the Luckenbach Witch - a widow put to death for witchcraft in the 1800s. She cursed the man who denounced her and his descendants and promised to return for vengeance.

A promising idea but the execution falls short.

Yambaó (also known as Cry of the Bewitched) is a 1957 Cuban/Mexican voodoo witchcraft horror musical melodrama, which has to be one of the rarest of all cult movie sub-genres!

Well-made and surprisingly subtle. An oddity, but an oddity well worth seeking out.

Eye of the Devil (originally titled 13), a very neglected 1966 British horror film. A kind of dry run for The Wicker Man. The resemblances are marked.

Both deal with paganism in the modern world. In both cases there are lots of disturbing sexual undercurrents.

Eye of the Devil is actually the better film. Features career-best performances by Sharon Tate and David Hemmings.
