Mesmerizingly awful horror film complete with dreadful organ music in the background, this is saved from being a complete bomb by way of the introduction narrated by Gary Owens of "Laugh-In" fame that goes on and on about the creation and destruction of witches in the dark ages. Heard over shots of classical gothic paintings, it's a nice history lesson that is sadly interrupted by the movie.
So superstitions of the dark ages followed German immigrants all the way to the Texas countryside where an alleged witch was buried with a stake in its heart. A stranger in town somehow opens the grave up, removes the stake from the crystallized corpse which proceeds to grow back to its human appearance. Shocking things are happening, the biggest that I stayed awake for it all. Poor color and tinny sound may convince others which try it not to bother, but the amateurish acting will most likely do the trick.
