The Most Spellbinding Witch Movies of All Time

Double, double toil and trouble—we’ve conjured up the best witch movies ever, and you won’t want to skip out on a single one. Halloween is just around the corner, and there’s no better time to sit back with some spellbinding stories than when the leaves have changed and fall weather has arrived.

Many of these top our list of the best Halloween movies ever (or are we the only ones still having nightmares about The Blair Witch Project?). Others are more family-friendly, like The Wizard of Oz, and our all-time favorite, Hocus Pocus. A few are based on fairytales and old folktales, while others are drawn from terrifyingly true stories! All of them, however, pair perfectly with a festive Halloween Jell-O Shot or a fresh batch of seasonal Halloween cookies.

To ensure you get the best possible viewing experience, you should probably throw on your best Halloween costume and light some Halloween candles in your carved pumpkins for an extra eerie effect. We also suggest watching with a friend or family member, especially if you’re the type who spooks easily. Once all the ingredients are in place, you’ll have brewed a bewitching potion for a magical movie night!
