Witches are as synonymous with Halloween as are pumpkins and black cats, and so with October rapidly approaching, we got to thinking about Witch movies, and how great they can be when done right.
Some movie Witches are benevolent and use their powers for good, but in the Horror Genre, most tend to be wizened old crones who are out to kill or eat people, or even worse, take their souls. Most Witches serve Satan you see, so sacrifice is a big part of their daily lives.
For the first 6 movies in the list:
If you're in the mood for a truly quality Witch flick, any of the movies in our Top Six will do you right. For our money, Suspiria and Black Sunday are probably the best of them, but then again they all bring their own unique and terrifying vision to the Witch Flick Sub-Genre, so why not just enjoy them all!
For the remaining:
Below are the rest of our 30 Best Witch flicks, and of course, a few Honorable Mentions thrown in for good measure. Keep in mind that no "Best of" list is ever perfect, but merely a solid starting point for anyone looking to watch some great flicks.
The last 6 being "Honorable Mentions".

Sure, everyone's seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. But as you'll learn in this shockingly tasteless collection of great awful movies, there's so much more to the world of truly bad film.

The best of Folk Horror
She's "The Mistress of the Dark," and our most popular horror hostess in recent memory. Cassandra Peterson played the spunky goth Elvira hosting "Elvira's Movie Macabre," a late-night B-movie show running from 1981-86 with a couple sporadic revivals. Her bubbly wit serves the perfect counterpoint to campy horror gore, making her an unforgettable part of horror culture.
