by ANDREW HERSHBERGER (Tue 12-10-2002)
For centuries man has despised and feared the witch, but hey, don’t take my word for it: watch the 8-minute-plus prologue to THE NAKED WITCH during which an ominous narrator explains, in glorious pseudo history, the story of witchcraft. Pretty scholastic ... SLAVE TRADE
