Horror favourite Vincent Price excels in one of his best roles as pious monster Matthew Hopkins - the notorious self-styled Witchfinder General - in this cult classic.

With the English Civil War raging, former lawyer Hopkins leaves a trail of blood, torture and murder in his wake as he travels the English countryside.

His ultimate aim? To cleanse it of the activities of 'witches' and their alleged accomplices.

Part of our Curses, Cults & Covens: The Birth of British Folk Horror season, screening throughout May.
