Description

Welcome to REEL OBSCURE Episode 4, in which we take a look at the 1980s supernatural slasher, SUPERSTITION (AKA THE WITCH), a movie in which a family move into an abandoned house, only to find themselves stalked - and slain! - by a wrath-fueled witch!Starring James Houghton, Albert Salmi and Stacy Keach Sr, SUPERSTITION was directed by James Robeson and produced by Mario Kassar and Andrew Vajna. Despite the presence of these movie titans, the movie vanished shortly after release and in tonight's show we delve into the movie's production, story and explore why it was lost for so long and how it landed in hot water in the UK, being banned as a ''video nasty.''
