$20.00

(aka Old Black Witch)

DIRECTOR: Gerald Herman

STARS: Anna Strasberg (Riot on Sunset Strip), Roger Morgan, Hermione Gingold as "The Witch". Narrated by Burgess Meredith (The Last Chase)

SYNOPSIS: This is a childhood favorite! I remember going to grade school in the mid 70's and seeing this film over & over because all the kids in class always requested it. Finally a nice print has been found! Based on a popular children's book it stars a single mom and her son making a new life for themselves. They buy a house for next to nothing because (unknown to them) it's haunted by an old witch. They move in and find the place to be a real fixer-upper. They also discover their scary "house guest" who lives in the attic. Soon the boy befriends her and she doesn't seem so bad. She even whips him up  a batch of her magic blueberry pancakes. Once eaten they cause a flurry of colored dots to appear before your eyes. And they make you very, very happy. (I'll let you folks fill in the drug jokes and references.) Needless to say, before long the whole town is lining up for those wonderful pancake delights. If you remember this from your childhood you just have to see it again - it really holds up. And now you can share it with your kids too! Based on the book 'Old Black Witch' by Harry & Wende Devlin.  From a 16mm film print.

NOTE: This is a live action short film that runs 22 minutes long - It is NOT a feature length film!! It is NOT animated.

BONUS: Because of the short running time this disc also includes over 1hr of educational shorts as a bonus. Fun classroom films from the 50's, 60's and 70's.
