What happens

Superstition is a 1982 supernatural slasher film directed by James W. Roberson and starring James Houghton, Albert Salmi, and Lynn Carlin. The plot follows a family who move into a house that was once the site of a witch's execution. Though shot in 1981, Superstition was not released in US before 1985. In the United Kingdom, the film was banned during the "video nasty" panic, though it would subsequently be released uncut under the title The Witch. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
