The Witches (1990): This best Halloween film about witches is wholesome enough for kids and smart enough for adults. A little boy gets turned into a mouse but still battles a convention of witches including Anjelica Huston.

Stardust (2007): The pieces are better than the whole in this star-studded but confusing fantasy with 3 sorceresses led by Michelle Pfeiffer plus Claire Danes, Robert De Niro, Peter O'Toole, and Ian McKellen. Still, this witch movie does have some good moments.

The Blair Witch Project (1999): It's been so influential on low budget filmmaking and marketing. Plus it's actually scary. Three student filmmakers disappear in the woods leaving their footage behind in this fake documentary.

Into The Woods (1994): It's my least favorite Steven Sondheim musical but it's still Sondheim. This collection of fractured fairy tales has witches including Bernadette Peters along with its best known song Children Will Listen.
