• The initial film adaptation of The Crucible was produced in France in 1957. This version features Simone Signoret, Yves Montand, Mylene Demongeot, and Jean Debucourt. Raymond Rouleau directed the film, and Jean-Paul Sartre wrote the screenplay.
• No additional film adaptations were made until 1996, when Twentieth Century Fox produced a version based on Arthur Miller's own screenplay. Directed by Nicholas Hytner, this film stars Daniel Day-Lewis as Proctor, Winona Ryder as Abigail, and Joan Allen as Goody Proctor. In the introduction to the Penguin edition of the screenplay, Miller highlighted the benefits of film: "There was the possibility of showing the wild beauty of the newly cultivated land bordered by the wild sea, and the utter disorder and chaos of the town meetings where the people were busy condemning one another to death for loving the Evil One. Now one could show the hysteria as it grew rather than for the most part reporting it only."
• Several sound recordings of The Crucible performed at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York, by the Repertory Theater, are available and have been published by Caedmon.
• The Crucible has also been adapted into an opera, with music composed by Robert Ward and a libretto by Bernard Stambler. Recordings of the New York City Opera's performance are available from Composers Recordings and Troy Albany Records.
• In 1995, Penguin Books released an interactive multimedia CD-ROM that includes a searchable text of the play, hypertext annotations, video interviews, historical data, pictorial material, commentary, and a bibliography.
