One night I had a frightful dream in which I met my grandmother under the sea.

The movie you are referencing is likely Haxan (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0013257/), which was released much later in the United States as Witchcraft Through the Ages (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haxan).

It's worth a few giggles, not a bad movie to watch drinking a bottle of cheap wine while putting on makeup on a October night

I thought it looked familiar. I'd seen it at the Orson Welles Theater, i think, in the 70's in Cambridge. Though it didn't have that modern goofy after-talk/sermon/whatever as far as i know.

Modern witchcraft, etc, just wasn't well known yet to the general public
and they still got most of their ideas about magic, the occult in general,
and especially witchcraft from old out of date books (not counting the real books on ritual and
ceremonial magic which were always available)
They did show a few shots of neopagans in the live commentary part of the film tho :)

It's hard to find my cursor on this light gray background (mild grumble)
