Dark August is a 1976 American supernatural horror film directed by Martin Goldman and starring J. J. Barry, Carolyne Shelyne, and Kim Hunter.

Sal Devito, a visual artist from New York City, has spent a year struggling to assimilate into country life after his relocation to rural Stowe, Vermont, with his girlfriend, Jackie.

Compounding his troubled adjustment is a car accident Sal was involved in shortly after moving to the town, which resulted in the death of a young girl.

Later, Jackie confides in Lesley that she believes Adrianna Putnam, a local psychic woman whom the townspeople have branded a witch, can help Sal.

She visits Adrianna for help and she asks Jackie to bring Sal back to her home with Theo and Lesley so that they can participate in a ritual to protect him.

Adrianna has the four drink from a goblet before reciting the Lord's Prayer; she explains that the purpose of the ritual is to transform the negative energy attached to Sal into something positive.
