Witchfinder General

Today Griffey and Dandino begin to unearth Folk Horror gems this month. We start with what is undoubtedly one of the meanest jaunts into the genre ever in Witchfinder General. They discuss how unlike other Folk Horror this film simply shows men using superstitions to their own benefit, the genius of casting Vincent Price as the Witchfinder, and the nightmarish punishments these poor victims suffer. This is the a pillar of the MESSED UP unholy trinity of British Folk Horror you must see to believe.  Synopsis: During the English Civil War, a young Roundhead seeks vengeance against a vicious witch-hunter and his henchman, who have terrorized the soldier's fiancée and wrongfully executed her uncle. Starring: Vincent Price, Ian Ogilvy, Rupert Davies, Hilary Heath Directed by Michael Reeves Youtube: https://youtu.be/VtDByBWcg8U Help us make our first feature length Messed Up Movie:  https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mr-creamjean-s-hidey-hole-horror-comedy-movie#/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod
