The Reluctant Witch
1971, English. Directed by Herk Harvey.
The only surviving footage from Herk Harvey’s unfinished follow-up to Carnival of Souls. Based on a short story by sci-fi author James Gunn, the recovered work print—found in Harvey’s personal collection—offers a rare glimpse into the director’s unrealized vision, despite missing audio.
