In the collective imagination, the witch fascinates as much as it disturbs. Popular culture often portrays witches as manipulative women who are drawn to men, as seen in the 2016 film The Love Witch, where the character is eroticized. The witch trials of Salem in 1692, which led to the condemnation and execution of hundreds accused of witchcraft, have also shaped this image. However, today, the witch is often seen as a feminist icon. This mystical figure has remained relevant, as seen in the 1998 film The Craft, starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock, which has received a sequel. Vogue France has compiled a list of the 12 best witch films of all time, perfect for watching during the Halloween season. The editorial team of Vogue France recommends these horror films to help readers choose their favorites. The Craft (1998) features a shocking duo in the form of Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, who play two witch sisters facing a terrible curse: every man they fall in love with dies prematurely. Sally, a mother of a young girl who dreams of a normal life, is unable to escape this curse and faces the death of her beloved. Meanwhile, Gillian meets a mysterious man, adding to the tension in the story. The Witches of Eastwick (1987) features a stellar cast including Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer. The film follows three young women in a small village in Rhode Island who develop supernatural abilities after a mysterious man enters their lives. The story explores themes of power and desire, making it a cult classic from the 1980s. The Craft (1996) is a key teen movie of the 1990s. It follows Sarah, a teenager who moves to a new city and befriends three friends who are into esotericism and magic. Sarah quickly discovers she has unique magical gifts, leading to rivalry within the group. The film explores the challenges of friendship and power. The Witch Hunt (1996) is inspired by Arthur Miller’s play The Witches of Salem. It tells the story of women in the village of Salem gathering in the woods with Tituba, a black slave from Barbados, to perform an amorous ritual. When caught, they face accusations of satanic activities, echoing the historical events of the Salem witch trials.
