This had to be the equivalent of the Exorcist during its day. With the shock of naked lady's posteriors, hags munching on rotted limbs pulled from a cauldron, and the deft (for its time) use of double exposure and superimposition of witches flying upon brooms--it had to be a leader of special effects and makeup for years to come.Available on Criterion, I watched the 1968 version which has the "jazz" soundtrack rather than the dead silent original.
Oddly, one of the first demons statues shown was the one from the Exorcist. Old ideas die hard.
