The scariest movie I ever saw was Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes,
which was also a Disney movie. The premise of the story is the circus comes to
town and two youngsters want to attend. Their guardians won’t let them. They
have their reasons, but they won’t elaborate. The siblings sneak out at night
to the circus and have an adventure. When morning comes, the circus disappears
along with the youngsters as if they had never existed. I’m never quite sure
why I decided this could happen, but I did believe it was more probable than
aliens, serial killers, or zombies.
Here’s my list of Witch movies.
The
Season of the Witch This movie deals
with a knight transporting a woman accused of being a witch.
Practical
Magic While the movie deals with being careful what you wish
for it also embodies the concept that family does for family.
The
Crucible This movie is based on Arthur Miller’s play about the Salem Witch
Trials.
Bedknobs and Broomsticks Angela Lansbury star in this children’s
classic. (The link includes the entire movie.)
Three
Sovereigns for Sarah This is a PBS mini-series on The Salem Witch Trials
The
Wizard of Oz Margaret Hamilton made The Wicked Witch of the West into an
iconic image. In real life, she was a
former schoolteacher who worked tirelessly for children’s causes.
Hocus Pocus This comical
movie has become a Halloween staple.
Carrie
I prefer the Sissy Spacek version better because she epitomized the trusting
teen who believes the popular guy really
did ask her to the prom, despite her mother’s dire predictions.
I have a few
non-witch movies that I enjoy too including The Omen (the original) and the Night of the Living Dead. What are your favorites?

About the Author:
Rayna Noire is an author and a historian. The desire to uncover the truth behind the original fear of witches led her to the surprising discovery that people believed in magick in some form up to 150 years ago. A world that believed the impossible could happen and often did must have been amazing. With this in mind, Ms. Noire taps into this dimension, shapes it into stories about Pagan families who really aren’t that different from most people. They do go on the occasional time travel adventures and magick happens.

I always enjoy when Hallmark has "A Good Witch" marathon.
