The Naked Witch
A psychic researcher and his assistants investigate a series of murders of beautiful young women.
Why it matters
The Naked Witch delivers a murky blend of late ’60s folk horror and low-budget grindhouse that digs into swampy Southern gothic dread.
- Early example of regional horror, shot on location in the Louisiana bayou — atmosphere is thick with humidity and menace.
- Pre-digital practical effects and makeup lean into sleazy, visceral charm rather than polish.
- For fans of occult sleuthing and witchcraft tales grounded in folk superstition, it’s a raw, unvarnished relic of a transitional era.
- Not for those expecting narrative tightness or graphic sophistication, but a fascinating snapshot of horror’s gritty drive-in past.
