V/H/S/2
Anthology movies can be tricky to pull off properly; by their very nature they can be uneven in tone, the narrative constantly upended when we pull back to the framing story, the differing tones and pacing of the individual segments.
When done well though, we get such classics as Mario Bava’s Black Sabbath, the chilling Ealing classic Dead of Night and George Romero’s lurid pulp-fest Creepshow.
V/H/S/2 improves on the formula established by the original film; by slim-lining the segments, and by actually featuring fewer segments, the impact is undeniable.

@Stokely: I'm sorry, but I have no clue what that film could be! Some of the imagery does sound familiar - the creepy procession made me think of The Leopard Man, but there are no witches in that - it also made me think of Night of the Seagulls, but again, no witches in that either! Hmmm. Could it be Hammer's The Witches? Not sure if that's black and white though. Let me know if you ever remember what it was! And sorry again I can't help. :(
