Witches get a bad reputation. Yes, they can be a bit eerie with their powers and all, but they're not all bad. Don't let the common misconception of these supernatural figures fool you. And while on the topic, there are plenty of movies and TV shows about witches that prove this to be true! So, if you're feeling especially spellbound today, take a look at these mystical witch movies and TV shows and start streaming.
You can probably assume titles like The Wizard of Oz and Charmed will make this list. These are witches that have genuinely changed the game for their kind! There are some Halloween classics in here too, like Halloweentown and Hocus Pocus. There are also some '90s hits in here, like Practical Magic, which show you that sometimes, all a witch needs is some love! Okay, you definitely get the point by now. So without giving the whole list away, take the time to read through these options. Who knows, you might find yourself wanting to explore your own powers, too. đ
Some more spell-binding witch stories to explore:
A Discovery of Witches
You never know a person until they unveil their true colors. For all you know, they could really be a witch! Or a vampire and demon... This one tells the tale of ancient magic and how that prohibits different witches from being romantically linked to each other. But is magic enough to stop true love?
Hocus Pocus
The thing about teenage pranksters is that they'll take things too far sometimes. That exact thing happens when a young unruly group wake up these grouchy witches from their long, long slumber in Salem, Massachusetts.
Hocus Pocus 2
Listen, the Sanderson sisters are the sort of villains that you route for. Not that you want to see them reek havoc, you just like to watch their story unfold! So, alas, they're back and better, and learning the ways of this modern world as they aim to haunt it when they're woken up decades later.
Charmed
The Halliwell sisters don't think they're that special until they find out that they are daughters of witches... which makes them witches, too. This show is all about how they navigate their newfound power, and what to do about this new life (full of new villains).
Bewitched
The movie industry is really competitive, so when this down-on-his-luck actor finds the perfect person to play a witch in his production, he will do anything he can to convince her. Little does he know, she's really a witch!
Sleepy Hollow
Magical spells, mysteries, and weird (but also creepy) town and family secrets. This modern take on Washington Irving's original is a compelling watch right from the start! Hopefully, the main characters in this show can get to the bottom of the spell that has been haunting them and their ancestors for centuries.
Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Sabrina is your average teenage girl, except for the fact that she's a witch. Oh, and she has a black cat... that talks! Watch as she balances high school alongside the importance that her powers give her.
Practical Magic
True love can be hard to come by sometimes. These two sisters experience this tribulation, so they decide to use their witch powers to whisk up some romance in their life. Yeah, it proves to be more complicated than not.
The Craft
Good or evil? That's the moral battle that these four high school girls face when they discover they have witch-like skills that are pretty darn strong. Sure, they could use it to get back at those who wronged them, but will it go too far?
Wizard of Oz
Dorothy and her dog Toto are in for a treat when they wake up in a vibrant, picture-esque land that definitely is not Kansas! With the help of her newfound friends (and Glinda the Good Witch of the North), she ventures on a journey to defeat The Wicked Witch of the West.
The Chronicles of Narnia
Four siblings move into a new home and find a large wardrobe that leads them into the enchanting world of Narnia. It's a beautiful place that's slowly being turned into a wretched land by the evil White Witch. The siblings are young, but they're also mightyâand more than ready to take on anything.
Halloweentown
With all of the bad witches in the world, it's relieving for Marnie to know that her grandma is one of the good ones. That's why she and her siblings are okay with the idea of traveling to Halloweentown, a mystical neighborhood that her grandma knows very well. There, Marnie learns that she, too, is a witch!
