Description:
The Naked Witch (1961, 59 min.) - Ding, dong, the witch ain't dead! After a college student digs up the remains of The Luckenbach Witch and removes the stake from her ribs, The Naked Witch is alive and well, strolling through the Texas countryside in her birthday suit! Killing the descendants of those who condemned her to death, she also seduces the student, who eventually realizes his sexy new girlfriend belongs back in the grave. A charmingly goofy and naughty-for-its-time regional rarity, this is also the first horror film directed by cult fave Larry Buchanan, who also gave the world 'Zontar the Thing from Venus!' 'Crypt of Dark Secrets' (1976, 71 min.) - Vietnam vet Ted Watkins is robbed of his cash by three thugs who invade his swamp home and leave him for dead. Ted awakens to find that he's the pet project of Damballa, a sexy witch who dances in the nude when she's not turning into a snake. She then takes revenge upon Ted's dimwitted almost-killers with the help of a voodoo priestess, buried treasure, a smoking mummy case, and her Crypt of Dark Secrets. Shot in Louisiana, this is off-kilter Drive-In-Approved Southern-Style Swamp Horror!

Rating:  - I waited over 40 years for this one!
I can't say anything good about the movie "The Naked Witch" other than it would have made good Mystery Science Theater 3000 material. In terms of shear volume, the DVD is a good buy, but don't buy this for the quality of the content!
So why was I waiting for this? Claude Alexander, the producer of this movie, was a second cousin of mine. I remember back then him talking to my father about the financing and telling stories about getting it past city censors. It was great to hear the interview ... Read More
Rating:  - Another great DVD from Something Weird
Two great flicks here especially if you like regional made horror films. The first if Larry Buchanan's first film Naked Witch about a college student who brings a beautiful dead witch back to life. Filmed for $8000.00 in Texas, Buchanan does his best to bring a very interesting story to life. I really enjoyed this film and it was nice to see a color print. Contains a little nudity, but nothing special.
The second feature is Crypt Of The Living Dead and it was shot in Louisiana. A mysterious woman on ... Read More
Rating: - Fairly competent story telling for both features
The Naked Witch is a low budget movie that hooks you first with facts about witches and then with facts about German settlers in Texas. Its a first person narrative about a college guy doing research on the folklore of the German folk who settled in Luckenbach Texas. While the older folk refuse to talk of the legend of the naked witch, a pretty young blonde girl aides the student who learns where the naked witch is buried and goes and digs her up. Revenge ensues.
The Crypt of Dark Secrets takes ... Read More
Rating: - Magic!
To break down my ratings I give the Naked Witch 4 stars, the Crypt of Dark Secrets 1 star, and the extras get 5 stars.
In Crypt of Dark Secrets, all you get for your trouble are 4 drownings, one robbery, one naive vietnam vet, and a long and boring look at a fictional society (with a population of 4 or 5 people (one dead)) that lived in the New Orleans swamps before the Europeans arrived. These ancient ones apparently spent most of their time doing boring, hippy dippy dances. Interestingly, half ... Read More
