Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Witchery (1988)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Director Claudio Lattanzi pushed for Bette Davis to play the witch in Witchery, but the role went to German actress Hildegard Knef instead.
- The film went through three directors: Claudio Lattanzi left early, Luigi Cozzi quit two weeks into pre-production calling the story "too predictable and banal", and Fabrizio Laurenti, previously known for a 30-minute vampire film, replaced him.
- Witchery has no original score: Carlo Maria Cordio's music was lifted from the film Killing Birds and then used again in La Casa 5 in 1990.
