Top 10 Best Movie Witches

Abigail Williams (Winona Ryder) - The Crucible

Technically, The Crucible is not a movie about witches, but it's based on the real-life events that resulted in the hanging of 19 people accused of witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692.
In the movie, Abigail Williams has been scorned by John Proctor after their affair, and as a result, she starts rumors of witchcraft.

Though the movie isn't about witches, people were hanged due to accusations of witchcraft caused by this woman who faked it all. To me, she is a real witch for that. Nobody can be more of a witch than someone who gets people killed with false claims. Also, she was real.

Claudia Hoffman (Sigourney Weaver) - Snow White: A Tale of Terror

Lamia (Michelle Pfeiffer) - Stardust

Great and very underrated fantasy movie. Michelle's performance made it. She was believable and memorable.

Winifred 'Winnie' Sanderson (Bette Midler) - Hocus Pocus

The great Bette Midler was stunning here.

Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) - Elvira: Mistress of the Dark

This fantasy movie should have been a big hit. It was funny, entertaining, and interesting. Some scenes were even shocking and creepy. Not to mention the fact that Elvira herself looked gorgeous and wonderfully sexy.

Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green) - Dark Shadows

Alexandra Medford (Cher) - The Witches of Eastwick

Elspeth (Madonna) - Four Rooms

Many people criticized Madonna's acting here, but I loved her in Four Rooms. She looked interesting and hot. Also, her acting wasn't bad, I think.

Sally Owens (Sandra Bullock) - Practical Magic

Not my favorite movie about witches, but Sandra did a great job.
