witch makeups: The Crimson Altar

Incoherent and awful adaptation of Lovecraft’s Dreams in the Witch House: you can tell how bad it is from the number of alternative titles under which it was released – then again that seemed to happen to a lot of Barbara Steele’s movies. Lavinia Morley (Barbara Steele) is the green-skinned reincarnation of a witch who was burned at the stake some 300 years before who participates in a strange, modern day, black-magic ritual.

Elizabeth Blatin and Pauline Worden were the makeup artists.
