Witchery (1988)

Off the coast of Massachusetts, there’s a small  island containing an uninhabited mansion with a dubious past. The locals say it’s haunted, and there’s a rumor that it may have been used for burning witches in the distant past. Two groups of unrelated travelers, a woman and her boyfriend working on a book, and a family of prospective buyers, an architect and a real estate agent, all happen to find themselves on the deserted little island at the same time. When a horrible storm strands the mis-matched travelers on the island overnight, it slowly becomes apparent that the old home may not be as abandoned as everyone was initially led to believe.

Back in Medieval Germany (at least, I think it’s Germany) a large group of knights rides into a town where they believe a cult of witches/demon worshipers lives. Naturally, they slaughter every living thing they can find, because Medieval logic states that, yeah, those chickens were probably fine, but why take any chances? But even […]
