Summaries

Three women use witchcraft to aid their professor husbands' careers. When a promotion opens, they turn against each other. Satirical horror about academic ambition and jealousy.

This remake of Fritz Leiber's novel "Conjure Wife" (previously filmed as 1944's "Weird Woman" and 1962's "Night of the Eagle" AKA "Burn, Witch, Burn") is more of a horror spoof, as three women use witchcraft to further the careers of their respective professor husbands. When a higher position becomes available in the university, they turn on each other, and no one is safe.—John N. Daily
