Don’t get me wrong; I love Anne Hathaway, but when I think of the “grand high witch”, she’s not exactly the image that comes to mind. Angelica Houston has that strong, sinister elegance to her.

For those wondering, the cut ending to the movie was that Luke is stuck as a mouse and he and his grandma make plans to kill off the rest of the witches that weren't at the meeting. Luke also learns that mice can probably live only another 9 years and decides that in the end, himself and Grandma will die together... yikes. Edit: Okay, could everyone stop saying "Well that's the ending in the book"? I already know that. I read the book too.

From IMDB: After a test screening, Roald Dahl angrily expressed to the producers how "appalled" he was at "the vulgarity, the bad taste" and "actual terror" in certain parts of the film. Dahl demanded his name and the title be removed from the film prior to release, but after receiving an apologetic, complimentary letter from Jim Henson, Dahl grudgingly withdrew his threat.

But also i think this was the first time i saw Mr Bean actually talking like a normal person.

Same. In a movie with so many pants-wetting scenes/FX, it was always the story of the girl in the painting that disturbed me the most, even as a little kid.

I think there was also one where a wide murdered her husband and the weapon was a frozen leg of lamb and fed it to the detectives after cooking it so she got away with it. These were aimed more at adults but there's often little distinction between the adult and child stories he wrote.

Personally when I was a kid and even as an adult the thought of being trapped in a painting was more disturbing than all the special effects used to make the witches so monstrous. And while they could've animated the child trapped in the painting I think it worked better that each day she'd be in a different position without moving. These witches were sadistic so it makes more sense that they would torment the parents this way. If you got a picture with someone moving around in it then you got proof of the paranormal. Instead you have a distraught parent claiming that the kid in the picture is theirs and everyone thinks they're crazy bringing in a slightly altered picture each day as proof.

Let me guess the witch who turned the main character back into a human name was probably Glenda because that's why they would leave her out so she was called Glenda the name of the good witch from The Wizard of Oz

The witches was my favorite book as a child, still love it. We also had the audiobook on cassette tape and let me tell you, my mom still shudders at the name of that book since we listened to it in the car like a million times without tiring of it. xD

There are some good ones if you are open to certain types and know specifically what you don't like. For example I avoid watching hostel and etc more than once cause they are like torture porn, not my thing at all lol tho I can get through house of a thousand corpes fine. But I love anything like crimson peak cause of the style, colors, setting, and costumes or ready or not cause it's funny but I love the classics/remakes/sequels like Halloween, night of the living dead, omen, clock work orange, the shining, and etc. I never found movies like witches scary as a kid so i can't now but I loved the storylines from movies like that from the 80s to early 90s cause it was so creative and unique. I think it's unfair to say no modern horror is good.

So, 19:18 ... I've always been fascinated by the implications of this. "I didn't even want to BE a witch." Dahl implies that witches are originless and eternal and just kinda happen, but this movie implies that the witches were A) normal people once, and B) revert to their original state by doing good deeds, apparently? She's admiring that her claws have turned back into fingernails. It raises so many questions. How do you even go down this path in life.
