The Dark Secret of Harvest Home (1978)
Bette Davis, David Ackroyd, Rosanna Arquette
This television miniseries is based on Thomas Tryon's complex and suspenseful occult thriller Harvest Home, delving into the forbidden rituals of the small New England township Cornwall Combe, whose residents offer annual human sacrifices to pagan gods in return for a bountiful corn harvest. The production is notable mainly for the participation of Bette Davis, who plays the powerful Widow Fortune, the town's leading practitioner of the black arts. A very young Rosanna Arquette co-stars as one of the new kids in town.

I remember having seen DARK SECRET OF HARVEST HOME when it first aired in the late 1970s. I have never been a great fan of Bette Davis, but admit that she sends shivers up the spine. The other cast members are equally 5-star - David Ackroyd and Joanna Miles in particular. A good television movie top watch around Halloween or on a cold snowy day.
