    Häxan quotes

    • Chief Inquisitor: Listen, Maria the Weaver, did you also see the devil put his mark on the witches' foreheads?

      Marie, the Seamstress: Oh, learned men, I saw the witches kiss the evil one on his behind. And the mother of Anna, the printer's wife, wished me a scalding death - that damned woman, I saw her kissing the evil one so tenderly...

    • Narrator (1968 re-release): The "painful interrogation" preferably began with a "lighter" torture: the Thumb-screw, for example. One of my actresses insisted on trying the Thumb-screw when we shot these pictures. I will not reveal the terrible confessions I forced from the young lady in less than a minute.
