 On his way to California, Jodie decides on a whim to make a brief side trip to a farm, where he meets and falls in love with Melissa, the proverbial farmer's daughter. Or so it seems. In between the overlong dramatic pauses, we learn that Melissa is in fact a 120-year-old witch, and her remarkably spry "great-grandmother," Lucinda, is actually her sister, who has been pitchforking people to death in her spare time. When Lucinda murders a local policeman, things start to get real complicated for Jodie.

Movie Quote(s):
- Deputy: We ain't found nothin' yet, not even a suspicious lookin' cow chip.
-
Jodie: This your pond? Melissa: It belongs to my father. Jodie: Oh. Does he mind if people skip rocks across it?
-
[at the pond] Melissa: This is where the fish lives.
-
Melissa: Who are you? Satan: I am a friend and companion of the night. I rejoice in spilled blood and the baying of dogs. I wander among shades and tombs. I am Gorgo, and Mormo, of the thousand-faced moon.
-
Jodie: Zah!
Movie Trivia:
- Satan's "I am a friend and companion of the night..." speech is taken from Howard Phillips Lovecraft's short story "The Horror At Red Hook."
-
When characters are tempted by Satan, it is their corresponding actor's voice beckoning them to join him.
-
Makeup artist Joe Blasco's first film.
-
The car that Jodie drives in the film is a 1970 Ford Maverick Grabber.
-
The windy weather conditions of the California filming locations proved to be quite problematic for recording sound during the shoots. Most of the seemingly 'ambient' wind noise heard in the film was authentic.
