DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Brian A. Miller USA

While primarily a playwright, his adaptation of 'The Crucible' for screen directly allegorizes the Salem witch trials as a commentary on McCarthyism and mass hysteria.

 Robert Eggers USA

His film 'The Witch' (2015) offers a visceral, historically-informed psychological exploration of witch trial paranoia and female persecution in Puritan America.
