No.810: Larry Buchanan was responsible for such monstrosities as The Eye Creatures, Zontar the Thing From Venus and Mars Needs Women.
In 1964 he terrorised an unsuspecting public with 'The Naked Witch', a 'Nudie-Cutie' docu-drama which reckons that the dark ages came after the middle ages in the longest and most boring preamble in movie history.
As for the plot, a student studying witchcraft in central Texas happens upon the town of Luckenbach (a real place) where he finds a village that hasn't changed much since German immigrants first settled there. He discovers a local legend about The Luckenback Witch and - of course - he decides to exhume her. This - of course - returns her to life.
This is poorly made, poorly acted and not particularly interesting, although it did brisk business, making back ten times what it cost to make. Some critics have stated that this movie was quite influential, which is laughable considering that Mario Bava's exceptional 'Mask of Satan' had been made four years earlier.
