* AntagonistTitle: The title character is a witch who rises from the grave, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin naked]], to take revenge on the descendants of the man who betrayed her.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The history of witchcraft given in the narration at the start of the movie is riddled with errors and bears very little resemblance to actual history. One of the more egregious errors is the claim that the Dark Ages followed the Middle Ages.

* FauxlosophicNarration: The film opens with a strange narration musing on the nature of good and evil, and what lurks beyond the edge of light. It makes little sense, especially as the witch was seemingly just a wronged widow before she was killed and rose from the dead, and did not indulge in any of the acts the narration is rambling on about.

* WidowWitch: The witch was a haughty widow who was accused of witchcraft by her married lover and put to death when she demanded he put aside his wife and marry her. Just before her execution, she swore vengeance upon him and his entire line. It is this vow that seems to have transformed her into an actual witch.

* AccidentalAesop: Exploitative nudity and historical inaccuracy notwithstanding, this film could be interpreted as an unintentional feminist parable with the moral: Women are not sex toys to be used and discarded at your whim. (It might also qualify as a SpaceWhaleAesop: Treat your lover well, or she will turn into a witch and murder your descendants.)
