Death Spa is a 1988[a] American supernatural slasher film directed by Michael Fischa and starring William Bumiller, Brenda Bakke, Merritt Butrick, Ken Foree, Karyn Parsons, Rosalind Cash, and Vanessa Bell Calloway. Its plot follows a series of mysterious deaths occurring in a high-tech Los Angeles health spa, resulting from the spirit of the owner's deceased wife, who possesses the club's intricate computer system.[3][4]
In Europe and Asia, the film was released under the alternative title Witch Bitch.[5]
Butrick's role in the film was his last before his death, while Parsons's role marked her feature film debut as an actress.[6]
