The witch was actually supposed to be shown in original.
There was a scene in the original where the actors were running away from their tents and Heather screams "What the fvck is that?!", and the camera was supposed to pan to the left and reveal the witch briefly, wearing a white gown. Unfortunately (or fortunately for some) the actor holding the camera forgot to move the camera to show her.. I wonder if the movie would have been as effective if that scene was shot correctly.
