The Malleus Maleficarum was a professional manual for witch hunters.
Thank you for finally clearing up something about the original
Satan's School For Girls. Near the end of the movie [spoiler]when Kate Jackson's character Roberta has been exposed as a member of the coven, she tells Pamela Franklin's Elizabeth that Roy Thinnes' Dr. Clampett is actually "Malleus Maleficarum, the Hammer of Witches."[/spoiler]I had no clue what that was really a reference to because I'd never heard it. I knew it was related to Satan, but beyond that it went completely over my head. But now, thanks to you, I finally know the actual reference.
