10 Best Movies About Witches

Witches get a bad rap, but in 2019, we’re all for Wiccans taking over our next wave of feminism, and letting us make voodoo dolls for all of our ex’s and unsavory politicians. Here are the best witch movies of all time that celebrate dark magic and sisterhood.

1. The Craft
Everyone’s favorite grunge, outcast teen witches starred in The Craft, inspiring a Tumblr generation to come. At a Catholic prep school, a newcomer falls in with this dark group, and they increase their powers to conjure powerful spells and curses against those who tick them off. Goth vibes meets bullying revenge at its finest.

2. Hocus Pocus
A lighter, family friendly take on the witch genre, Bette Midler, SJP, and Kathy Najimy starred in this supernatural, Salem based flick. A young boy with too much curiosity moves to Salem just in time for Halloween, when a trio of executed witches from the 17th century show up.

3. The Witches
Anyone who isn’t a fan of children will appreciate this 1990 British/American film. Mixing comedy and horror, evil witches masquerade as normal women, while they secretly turn children into rats. A boy and his grandma must save the day, and themselves.

4. The Witch
A very similar name to our last mention, but an extremely different film, and will definitely give you nightmares for a few days. It’s 1620, a New England farm, a Separatist family living in the wilderness suffers a tragedy. Their baby disappears, and their eldest daughter is suspected of witch craft. Inspired by the Salem Witch Trials, with a scary twist.
