In 1988, Witchcraft spooked its way onto screens. The supernatural horror movie about Satan-worshipping witches starred Anat Topol, Gary Sloan, Mary Shelly, and Ross Newton.

Witchcraft was not a huge hit, but its mix of horror and seduction was successful enough to lead to a series of sequels. But how many Witchcraft movies are there?

Probably more than you might expect.
