The Witch Who Came from the Sea is a 1976 American psychological horror film produced and directed by Matt Cimber and starring Millie Perkins, Lonny Chapman, Vanessa Brown, Peggy Feury, Rick Jason, George Buck Flower, and Roberta Collins.

The film centers on an emotionally scarred woman who goes on a killing spree after taking a job as a waitress in a seaside bar.

Her sister, Cathy, is candid about her disgust for their abusive father, but Molly deludedly tells romanticized stories about him to her nephews, Tadd and Tripoli.

After committing the murders, Molly arrives for her bartending shift and is nearly three hours late, which Long John chastises her for; however, he is reluctant to fire her as the bar is short-staffed.

Later, Molly meets aging television star Billy Batt at a party, and the two discuss a print of The Birth of Venus on the wall.

After, she phones Alexander McPeak, another actor she met at the party, who expressed romantic interest in her despite his relationship with his neurotic girlfriend, a starlet named Clarissa Jenks.

The next morning, an enraged Clarissa fires a gun into the tires of Alexander's car, and is charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

The film was written by Robert Thom, actress Millie Perkins's then-husband, who was undergoing extensive medical care at the time.
