Scariest Witch Films

Happy Walpurgisnacht! It’s Witch’s Night, the night where witches go out broom riding to celebrate the arrival of spring. Well, okay, there’s actually a lot more to it, but that’s the gist of it.

There are lots of Hollywood movies featuring witches, but for the efforts of today’s list, I concentrated on the scary witches. Not all witches are bad, but all bad witches are scary.

Unfortunately, not every scary witch is in a good movie either, and making a list of scariest witch films was my biggest goal.

A list of the scariest witches is going to require a lot more research and will be more controversial! So, for now, watch these ten films and we’ll debate later.

Scariest Witch Films List

Hereditary (2018)
VVitch (2015)
Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)
Suspira (1977)
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Gretel & Hansel (2020)
Drag Me to Hell (2009)
Black Sunday (1960)
The Wretched (2019)

There’s no order to this list. All horror is subjective, but I guarantee each of these films has a couple of scenes that will scare the skin off your bones.

Happy Walpurgisnacht 2025!

Witchy Gifts 2024

Happy Friday! This week’s gift guide is for the witches. Whether you’re a baby witch or a seasoned enchantress, witches need tools and toys to practice their craft. These gift suggestions are general and meant for everyone. Obviously, if the giftee has a specific practice in mind, like they want to be a kitchen witch or moon witch for example, you’re gonna want to find the tools, toys, and books geared towards that.

I listed some cool items from shops I like, but this is only a tiny guide to inspire you in finding the perfect gift for your favorite witch, even if it’s yourself. Happy Creepmas!

Monthly Haiku Corner – November

Happy November! This month moves fast. I typically take a breather after posting 30 days in a row, but I have a lot on my mind after that disastrous election. America voted for a fascist felon and we will reap what we sow soon enough. I remain defiant of the fake god those bow to and pledge to use the last of my energy to fight evil. I dedicate this month to the vampires and November’s Undead Embrace.

Haiku of the Week

It’s been a long, hot summer, but we’re three days away from the ‘Ber months and the official start of the Halloween season. The theme in August has been Witch’s Halloween Spellbook. Hopefully, we’ve all had a chance to cast our spells for everyone to have a blessed, joyous, and safe Halloween season.
