Witchfinder General (1968) - HHF4Th4

HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST 4 keeps on chuggin’ with plenty more to go and we got our most BRUTAL selection for our THRILLER THURSDAYS WITH VINCENT PRICE. Up to now, the Master of the Macabre has set us up melodramatically for climactic shock moments but in this film loosely based on the real life atrocities committed by Matthew Hopkins in 17th century England, we get shock after shock in this pretty hardcore movie for it’s time. Vincent’s portrayal of Hopkins is so vile that you may revel in what eventually comes to him but you’ll never be the same again. These movies are pretty easy to find online and Prime, last we checked, has all the Vincent Price movies that we’re discussing. So check out this historical horror then come back to us and complete the suffering
