Burn, Witch, Burn!

The film 'Burn, Witch, Burn!' (originally titled 'Night of the Eagle' in the UK) was released in the US in 1962. Under the US copyright framework for this era, works published between 1928 and 1963 required a renewal within the 28th year to remain protected. A US copyright registration was filed for this film under the title 'Burn, Witch, Burn' by American International Pictures (AIP) on April 3, 1962 (LP22241). The copyright was subsequently renewed on December 14, 1990 (RE0000511871) by Orion Pictures Corporation, which had acquired the AIP library. Because the renewal was filed correctly within the 28-year window, the film's protection was extended for the full 95-year term from publication. Additionally, as a UK production, it would have been eligible for URAA restoration in 1996 if the US copyright had lapsed, but the timely renewal made this unnecessary. The rights are currently held by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) following their acquisition of Orion, and the film is actively licensed for streaming and boutique home video releases (e.g., Kino Lorber).
