Witchfinder General (renamed The Conqueror Worm in the US), is an incredible piece of horror history, but still not as respected as it should probably be. Pick up any decent book on genre films, peruse any list of the Top 100 scariest films, and the 1968 British classic will appear.
Yet, there is something about Witchfinder General that has made it an evasive classic. Sure, there’s a Blu-ray release (hardly the benchmark of success but a useful barometer for a film’s availability) yet that release seems less fawned over than other folk horror titles. The Wicker Man (1973) has settled comfortably into long-term highly profitable cult status thanks
