Crowhaven Farm.

Sounds like a nice place for a little retreat where all guests are welcome. Let me guess, it will be about a coven of witches, correct?

A will is read out and the Crowhaven Farm is left to Larry Tate. He races upstate only to burn up in a fire from gawking at Little Miss Longlegs, who appears out of nowhere like a roadside attraction. Guess you won't be inheriting the farm now, huh Mr. Tate?

So Petula Clark and Barry Manilow fill Larry's shoes and are second in line to the heir of Crowhaven Farm.

After only an hour on the property Clark's already demented and has visions of the prohibition era.

Is it safe to say that this Caradine fella made more movies than Christopher Lee? What wasn't he in?

Not making much sense, a housewarming party is thrown and a bunch of unwelcome nosey parkers invite themselves in yakking a bunch of lore about witch trials in their cloistered little world.

Indecisive, demented, and controled by her jealous husband, Clark takes a job typewriting for a local legal firm to support her husband's hidden secret habits.

Another suitor comes between them which irks Manilow's short streak.

This movie reminds me of "Black Noon" a little. Remember children, if you didn't already know, "Black Noon" was filmed before "The Wicker Man." And it is my professional opinion that "The Wicker Man" copied "Black Noon's" ending with that whole human cookout in the wood experiment.

So Little Miss Longlegs is traded to Clark & Manilow in exchange for a painting and she's also now the property of Crowhaven Farm.

But no doubt she's an informer, with sinister intentions, as she killed Larry Tate earlier in the movie with a wink and a smile. Infiltrating the farm, Little Miss longlegs starts to weave her mysterious influence on Clark and Manilow who are oblivious to her devious scheming.

45-minutes in and not much has happened so far. Little Miss Longlegs slept in the husband's bed. Clark took offence at a gate busted off its hinges. Then discovers that Little Miss Longlegs is the offspring of satan. She also finds out that she's pregnant and gives birth only 3 days later. Little Miss Longlegs corners Clark and bargins for her husband's hand in marriage to save herself then the husband becomes demented and shoots some playboy and then sacrifices himself at an altar table.

By rights there should probably have been a sequel as her son, no doubt, was most likely the spawn of The 666 Beast?

Crowhaven Farm is not recommended as a Halloween movie.
