When it comes to witches, Shakespeare's Macbeth (OK: "The Scottish Play") is absolutely the pinnacle; no way a Friday spent on the theme of witch films would be complete without a showing of it! I chose Roman Polanski's version because 1) it's listed in several places as approaching "horror" status as a film, 2) the Weird Sister (i.e.: the three witches) are exquisitely, and 3) well, it's another film from the 1970's. Starring Jon Finch as Macbeth and Francesca Annis as Lady Macbeth, the Weird Sisters are assayed by Maisie MacFarquhar, Elsie Taylor and Noelle Rimmington.
