The Cabin in the Woods Wiki

The Witchcrafter is a humanoid Monster seen in the visual companion.

Physical Description and Attributes[]

The Witchcrafter's appearances is rather simple, and since she was a scrapped Monster, either due to time or budget, we can only describe her based off what we see in the companion guide. The Witchcrafter appears as a elderly humanoid woman, with very whiteish skin. Her eyes are either not present, or are very sunken in and are black. She is seen wearing a faded and long-sleeved purple dress. On her head, there is a red hood piece of some kind. Her mouth appears to be smudged with something red, possibly blood or maybe tribal/coven/cult makeup. Her most notable feature is her weapon; a scythe. Nothing else can be pointed out about her image but she could be early concept art for the Witches.

Little is known about the Witchcrafter or her behavior, as she was not included to be part of the final film. As her name implies, she is likely some sort of powerful and ancient witch that uses magic for her own gain.

The item that could have summoned her to the Cabin would likely be a scythe similar to her own, or perhaps some sort of other old magical item, such as rune stones or a divination dagger.

Most likely to a reference to witch-themed horror media such as Season of the Witch, The Blair Witch Project, The Village, etc.
