Considered one of the creepiest movies of all time, "The Blair Witch Project"
is the story of a group of film students who set out to make a documentary about a local legend. Lost in the woods,
they soon discover that the infamous witch might not be a legend after all. Lots of jump-in-your-seat moments that
are made better by the fact that you never actually get to see the witch.

This movie is the story of two witch sisters (Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman) who are victims
of an ancient curse: any man they love will die. A romantic comedy at its best, it delves into the dark side when
the sisters are forced to kill Kidman’s lover, who then refuses to stay dead. No need to worry, though--in the end,
the power of love triumphs.

witches, Harry Potter follows the story of three teen wizards learning the craft and fighting the evil
of the legendary Lord Voldemort.The Witches

This splendid adventure-fantasy from 1990 was adapted from Roald Dahl's book and directed by
maverick British filmmaker Nicolas Roeg, who turned out to be a perfect interpreter of Dahl's
fiendishly clever tale of witchcraft in contemporary England. Scary, funny, and wildly entertaining,
it's all about a young boy named Luke whose parents have died in a tragic accident, and whose
grandmother takes him to a posh hotel in England, where a secret coven of witches is holding
its annual convention. The Grand High Witch (Anjelica Huston) has decreed that all children
in England be turned into mice, and Luke and his pal Bruno are the first victims on the list.
That's when the movie magicians from Jim Henson's creature shop have their work cut out for them,
turning Luke and Bruno into clever little rodents and The Witches into a dazzling display of
imaginative special effects, using a seamless combination of real mice and superb animatronic puppets.

In Hayao Miyazaki's magical Kiki's Delivery Service, a 13-year-old girl meets the
world head on as she spends her first year soloing as an apprentice witch. Kiki is
still a little green and plenty headstrong, but also resourceful, imaginative, and
determined. With her trusty wisp of a cat Jiji by her side she's ready to take on the world,
or at least the quaintly European seaside village she's chosen as her new home. Miyazaki's
gentle rhythm and meandering narrative capture the easy pulse of real life and charts the
everyday struggles and growing pains of his plucky heroine with sensitivity and understanding.
Beautifully detailed animation and the rich designs of the picture-postcard seaside town of
red-tiled roofs and cobblestone streets only add to the sense of wonder. This charming animated
fantasy is a wholesome, life-affirming picture that doesn't speak down to kids or up to adults.
Bell, Book and Candle

Staid, secure publisher James Stewart leads a quiet life until he meets his bewitching downstairs
neighbor, Kim Novak. Novak is at her best as a Greenwich witch halfway between the worlds of
magic and mortals, looking after her dotty aunt and mischievous warlock brother as they keep
their skills in practice. Novak's specialty is making men fall for her, but it's a one-way
street: when a witch falls in love, she loses her powers. Director Richard Quine gives the
witches an almost beatnik sensibility, a real Greenwich Village subculture hanging out in
underground clubs and smart curio shops. Elegantly photographed in rich, glowing colors by
James Wong Howe, 1959's Bell, Book and Candle is a fantasy world in New York set to a funky
bongo-laced jazz score by George Duning.

She's just transferred to a new school, moved in with her two otherworldly aunts, and
nothing is quite what it seems. Things can only get more complicated when Sabrina learns
that she's a real witch. Now, she's got to make friends memorize spells, and find a way
to get a date for the school dance. It'll take a little hocus-pocus and a whole lot of
adventure before Sabrina learns to control her powers and finds true love.

This 1960 film is about a vampire witch who comes back from the dead. She is played by the beautiful and
unique Barbara Steele, who has dual roles in the film as the witch and a princess she wants to drain of
her blood to gain immortality. It's an artistic film with great photography, and a must-see of lovers of
the classic horror genre.

is a Disney fantasy film starring Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker.
The film is about three Salem witches coming back to life. Awakened by a group of teenagers, the witches
set out to take over the town and avenge their death, which happened 300 years ago. Good wins in
the end thanks to the teens' wit and the witches turn to dust as the sun comes up.
I Married a Witch

The film follows the life of the Wooley family males, who were cursed in the
1700's and are doomed to always marry the “wrong person.” Enter Jennifer, the witch who originally
put the curse on the Wooley men, whose spirit has just been awakened by an incident involving lightning.
It’s not so great that she ends up falling in love with the contemporary Wooley. Lots of oddball,
funny moments and a happy ending make this one of best movies about witches.
The Crucible

Technically, The Crucible is not a movie about witches, but it's based on the real
life events that resulted in the hanging of 19 people accused of witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts
in 1692. In the movie, Abigail Williams has been scorned by John Proctor after their affair and,
as a result, she starts rumors of witchcraft. Things unravel rapidly and sentences and executions are soon dealt.

Possibly one of the best movies about witches of all time, it features the
Wicked Witch of the West lusting after Dorothy’s ruby slippers and seeking revenge for her sister’s death.
A black dress and a black pointy hat has become the typical visual representation of a witch.

Dario Argento's masterpiece follows the story of a young girl who arrives at a ballet
academy only to discover it is run by a coven of witches. Rated by Entertainment Weekly as one of
the top 25 scariest films of all time, the movie has a clever use of imagery and lots of macabre
scenes and rituals.
The Worst Witch

Based on Jill Murphy's book, this charming movie is set in an English boarding school
for witches--complete with orange and black school uniforms, broom-flying exercises,
and potion assignments for lab. The incompetent student of the title, Mildred, is played by
a fetching young Fairuza Balk. Diana Rigg is the nasty head teacher, Tim Curry the idolized
Grand Wizard, and TV's Facts of Life maven Charlotte Rae does double duty as the school's
kindly dean and her evil witch twin, who's bent on taking over the school. Preteen girls
will identify with the beleaguered heroine who overcomes her wickedly snooty rival, a teacher
who doesn't believe in her, and a band of dastardly witches and, of course, saves the day.
Witchfinder General
Skrævet af: thingsthatgoboo.com |
Kilde |
By consensus, Vincent Price's finest performance is Witchfinder General - also known
as The Conqueror Worm based on a poem from Edgar Allan Poe - an intense 1968 film that
erased any hint of camp from the actor's persona. Price plays Matthew Hopkins,
a sadistic 17th-century "witchfinder" who uses barbaric methods to identify
(and invariably execute) supposed witches. Along with Price's disciplined work,
Witchfinder is also the best film by the talented and ill-fated director Michael Reeves,
who was only 24 when he shot the movie. The most vivid thing about Witchfinder
General is the way it explicitly links paranoia and witch-hunting to misogyny,
and how female sexual energy is seen by the ruling order as a threat. The final
sequence is perhaps the most harrowing fade-out of any Sixties horror picture,
and offers no comforting resolution.

descended from the witches of Salem and has inherited their powers.
At first she uses them to get back at the girls and teachers who teased
her and to win the heart of the handsome footballer's captain. But soon
she has doubts if it's right to 'cheat' her way to popularity.

Haxan: Witchcraft Through The Ages
Skrævet af: Aida Ekberg |

This silent 1922 film is a very bizarre look at witchcraft. It almost has the feel of a documentary to it,
but you know that the events the film portrays can't possibly be actually happening. It has become a cult
classic because of all of the strange scenes portrayed (including some with nudity, torture, and sexual
perversion) and extremely good special effects for its time. The Criterion collection currently has a DVD
of the film available that features a restored print of the original version of the film along with the
midnight movie edit of the film from 1968 narrated by William S. Burroughs (the writer of 'Naked Lunch'.)
It's a very interesting film, and it's a must-see for any hardcore movie lover or film student.
