looking for a film or short film? a little girl is orphaned?
and is placed in a home but has a dark side.
she has a witchcraft book and uses on people who hurt her?
Probably in the late 1970's or 1980's era.
I haven't seen the film in over 25 years or so.
don't know if it was on Elvira show or what?
all apologies for not more information.
Thank you for your time.

It sounds like you might be describing the movie "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" from 1976, starring Jodie Foster. In the film, a young girl named Rynn is orphaned and lives alone in a house, hiding a dark secret. She uses her knowledge of witchcraft to protect herself from those who pose a threat. It's a suspenseful and eerie thriller that might match the description you provided.

I have two suggestions.
The first is the 1977 film The Child, a period horror movie, where the little girl uses these odd looking zombie creatures to kill her enemies. However, I do not remember there being a magic book in it. I can't say that there was not such a scene, but it doesn't ring any bells with me.
The Child (1977) - The Child (1977) - User Reviews - IMDb
The second suggestion is a bit odd because it is not a movie. The horror writer Ramsey Campbell wrote a short story called "Eye of Childhood" where a junior high girl uses a magic spellbook to conjure creatures to kill her art teacher. However, I looked at Ramsey Campbell's IMDb credits and can't find any evidence that the story was ever adapted.
Anyway, those are the only two suggestions that I can give you. Good luck with your search.
