Wicked (2024)
Were you even surprised? The story captures the essence of witch & her plight in our society. Wicked is of our time, just as it was of its time when Maguire wrote the book. "Everyone deserves a chance to fly!"
Wicked: For Good coming soon.

The Love Witch (2015)
This indie film sneaks it's way into many a "Top 5" witch films every time I ask. If you haven't seen it, be prepared for magic, ritual, murder, and campy good fun.

The Witch (2015)
If you have not seen Robert Eggers' The Witch, stop what you are doing & watch. He weaves a haunting tale of religious extremism, fairy tale fantasy, & female empowerment. And... then there is this goat. A top ranked movie and witch film.

Spirited Away (2001)
Back to animation. Spirited Away is a breathtaking movie by Hayao Miyazaki. It's got not 1 but 2 witches in it and it tops many film lists - not just the witchy ones. Spirited Away is a great film for this time of the year.

Carrie (1976)
A Witch film? Some some yes. It's a 70s horror classic and one that many folks have their witchy horror go to lists. There was a sequel in the 90s and a remake more recently. Nothing is like the original.

The Blair Witch (1999)
The Blair Witch was a breakout success with its found footage narrative. It made a ton of viewers sick but for many its still a go to witch film with all Y2K vibes.

Charmed (1998-2006)
Yet again, the 1990s come through with another Witchy TV favorite. The Charmed show was a big success during the time and has led to a short-lived remake (2018)

Wicker Man (1973)
While not a movie that we think of necessarily in October, it is certainly a top ranking "witch" film despite its lack of witches. It has Pagans and magic. That is close enough. Plus it is a cult classic folk horror film.

Haxen (1922)
I'm always suprised when Haxen is the answer to favorite witch films. But every so often this silent film by Benjamin Christensen makes the cut. If you haven't seen it, add it to your list. It's weird. It's old. But it's a cinematic classic.

Scooby Doo & the Witch's Ghost (1999)
Yes, this Scooby Doo movie makes many people's top witchcraft movie and is a good October family film. The band in the film is called the "Hex Girls."

Sinners (2025)
Brand new films don't often make top lists, but I'm adding Sinners to this year's film festival. It is an amazing triumph of a film that is already a fan favorite. And Annie (played by Wunmi Mosaku) practices Hoodoo.

The Addams Family (1964-66)
The original show did run very long but its legacy both past and future are nearly unmatched. (FYI: We now have the Wednesday steaming series.) And Morticia never escapes those pesky lists of favorite pop culture witches.

I Married a Witch (1942)
This film is an oldie but a goody based on the pulp novel "The Passionate Witch." Veering from its source material, the movie doesn't include a blood sacrifice but it is a fun comedy with Veronica Lake and Frederic March.

Eve's Bayou (1997)
Eve's Bayou may not be on Halloween lists, but it's always mentioned when I ask folks for their favorites. Definitely a must see.
(I'm catching up after a busy weekend)
