I don't think I've seen The Blood on Satan's Claw before, but I'm watching it courtesy of Talking Pictures.
It should be interesting because it's based in the 17th Century Stuart period, when superstitions and belief in witchcraft ran rife. Exactly how convincing will this tale be?
I remember seeing it advertised in the papers in the early 70s, so I'm assuming that it was a big hit in its day and made the West End, as I wouldn't have noticed the local cinema listings, as I was much too young.
I think Michele will have been playing a vulnerable schoolgirl.

Michele is guesting in an episode of 'Midsomer Murders'. It's the third one from the first series, entitled 'Faithful Until Death', and I recognized her straight away.
She doesn't look as though she's below 5ft1, so that's what she gets. She might have been a bit more in the 60s and 70s. In her horror films, Michele played very young parts, so a lack of height will have been handy for her casting.
😉👍
Overall, I'm plumping for 5ft1.25.

I have noticed that more than a handful of the 1970's comedy stars also made appearances in the old Hammer films! Michele Dotrice is one of them! Her brief role in 'and Soon the Darkness', wherein she played a young victim on holiday in France with her mate, is shown on the 'Horror' Channel from time to time, as is 'The Witches', just in case anyone wishes to check them out!
I've also spotted Frances de La Tour in 'To the Devil a Daughter', which I found greatly amusing as it's a really scary film! Also Leonard Rossiter has shown up.
The fact that Michele Dotrice was only 5ft1 will probably have contributed to her part as a victim in the first film mentioned. She was, interestingly, married to the late, great Edward Woodward, TV super sleuth and the original and best 'Wicker Man'!
