200 years after her execution, a witch comes back to life, plotting with a warlock to take over the body of another young woman who looks just like her. The first feature directed by Italian horror master Mario Bava, based on a story by Nicolai Gogol and shot in gloomy, high-contrast black and white. Barbara Steele plays both the witch and her doppelgänger, and she's as seductive as she is eerie. Maybe all witches should be played by Barbara Steele.
