Trivia The Watcher in the Woods

Star Bette Davis celebrated her 50th Anniversary year in the motion picture business at the world premiere of this film. Director John Hough said that Brian Clemens wrote the version of the screenplay he was most interested in directing but the Disney Studios decided that this version was much too dark and hired Rosemary Anne Sisson to lighten it up in a re-write. The film has a new version in a TV movie that was released in 2017. Anjelica Huston played Bette Davis' role.
