Interesting facts

The Devonsville Terror is a 1983 American supernatural horror film directed by Ulli Lommel and starring Suzanna Love, Donald Pleasence, and Robert Walker. The plot focuses on three different women who arrive in a conservative New England town, one of whom is the reincarnation of a witch who was wrongfully executed along with two others by the town's founding fathers in 1683.

Production

The Devonsville Terror was written by Lommel and George T. Lindsey, and draws on numerous historical aspects of the witchcraft inquisition in the colonial era of the United States. Lommel stated that he had spent some time in Massachusetts and was inspired by the Salem Witch Trials. Star Suzanna Love, Lommel's wife, also helped write the film.

Principal photography took place in the fall of 1982 in Lincoln County, Wisconsin, in the city of Tomahawk. The historic Brickyard School in Merrill, Wisconsin, was also used as a filming location, and received a fresh coat of paint to its exterior funded by the production company. Filming also took place at The Studio Ranch, an independent film soundstage constructed for local film productions in Gleason.

The film's special effects were created by makeup and effects artist Matthew Mungle.
