The Ultimate List of the Best Witch Movies Ever

Double, double toil and trouble: If witches happen to be your favorite part of Halloween, these are the movies to watch to help you take October’s spookiest night to the next level.

Sure, ghost movies, flicks about haunted houses and films that feature vampires are all great this time of year, but there's just something about witches that bring out the real magic of the season. The enchantresses, with their ability to cast spells, fly and scare the occasional child (a la the Sanderson Sisters of Hocus Pocus), are true queens of the holiday. And as such, they always make perfect protagonists (or antagonists) of the best Halloween films, with their clever and (at times) bone-chilling quotes often becoming embedded in our minds.

Whether you’re into scary movies like The Blair Witch Project or need to find a more kid-friendly option, our list of the best witch movies of all time has a little bit of everything. And while you’re watching, try to think of who would fall on your list of the greatest television and movie witches ever. We (obviously) have a few thoughts, but you can be the ultimate judge.

So, mount your broom and pick up your wand, and let these movies take you on a spellbinding journey!
