It is Halloween weekend and while some will enjoy trick or treating or going to a costume party, others enjoy a night in on the couch with some popcorn and some spooky movies.

I know this sounds kind of weird, but I find witch stuff very interesting. I don't practice wicken or anything, but in a weird way I think the idea of women coming together for one cause is empowering. Of course, as long as they are good witches and use their powers for good instead of evil.

Here are my top three movies, in no particular order because I'm indecisive, about witches for your Halloween movie watching enjoyment.

1. Hocus Pocus

Just watched this last night. It is crazy how a movie from 1993 still holds up. This movie has got such a cult following in the years since its release that a sequel is in the works. I think I even read somewhere that Bette Midler's favorite role was Winifred Sanderson in Hocus Pocus because the movie lives on and brings in new fans every year. Plus, it has a kickass musical number

2. Practical Magic

This movie isn't really 'scary' in the sense of a Halloween type movie, but it is about witches. I would say this is definitely more of a romantic comedy with a few suspenseful/scary moments splattered in. The cast is amazing as well: Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Stockard Channing, Dianne Wiest, Dr. Kovac from ER, and a young Evan Rachel Wood. This movie really shows the lengths sisters will go to for each other. The power of sisterhood is mighty. Plus, I love at the end that all the townspeople who were kind of afraid of them are all of a sudden willing to help. Plus, there is a kickass musical number.

I guess its not really a musical number, but still it involves music and dancing!

3. The Craft

This movie was so scary when I first saw it in junior high. The scene at the end with all the snakes and bugs and mice. Blkajdihfoionsd, it gives me the willies just thinking about it. And Fairuza Balk will forever be one of the scariest people to me because of her role as Nancy. She was perfect for the role, but she scares me. Also, I don't know what a sleepover would have been without Light As A Feather Stiff As A Board. Plus, there was a kickass musical number. Just kidding. No singing and dancing in this one. The Craft came out a few months before Scream, letting Neve Campbell and Skeet Ulrich get a little practice in scary movie world before really freaking us all out in Scream.
