This movie HORRIFIED me as a child 😭, I had nightmares because of the scene at the beginning. Also I really hope you're doing well Sophia, sending well wishes and love 🖤
Aww thank you!! 💙💙💙
sophias hair changing colors like a mood ring
LOL MY ROOTS WERE GETTING TOO LONG 😩
She looks gorgeous, no matter what hair color!
This is a good example of a movie I was delighted to be horrified by as a kid. People these days worry about "exposing" their kids to scary and "inappropriate" things in movies and shows, when, kids actually LIKE to be scared or disturbed some of the time.
Kids horror lets them learn to deal with fear in a safe environment.
Its also important for kids to experience these emotions. Its a safe way for them to learn to deal with them before having to face real dangers in real life. This story in particular is good about how you can't tell if a person is good person just at first glance. Even seemingly upstanding people who (on the surface) are doing "good works" could have an evil core, like with the witches' "children protection" organization.
@@takkycat My favorite exchange:
Mr. Jenkins : Thought I'd like to say hello to a fellow philanthropist.
Miss Ernst : You collect stamps?
Exactly being sheltered is horrible as well
It's all about scary stuff you expose them to. There's a difference between Goosebumps and Halloween
From this to the Addams Family a year later…oh Angelica owned my heart 💜
As a child I used to be terrified of being kidnapped off of the street by kidnappers and murders and then I had to add witches to the mix!
Fun fact, about half of the witches in the convention scene were played by bald men in drag because the makeup team didn’t have to apply bald caps for them! They sit in the back rows of the ballroom so most of the time they’re out of shot, but occasionally some shots feature them!
I’m literally watching it now and I’m like lord forgive me but these are some hard women they look like men then I’m like no that’s def a man 😅
God I loved this movie as a kid. I've always been a fan of Roald Dahl's books. We watched this film in school when I was about 10 I think, and I was the only one that had seen it. Because of how shocking the makeup effects and puppets/anamatronics were, my class had to have permission slips signed by their parents to be able to watch it. The horrified looks on everyone's face during the transformation scene has stuck in my head ever since. That and how everyone exclaimed "Mr. Bean!" When Rowan Atkinson appeared on screen 🤣. We actually adapted it into a school play that we performed right before the summer holidays, which is why we watched the film, and I played the Grand High Witch. It was really fun and watching this reaction has brought back memories
You’re lucky being able to play the Grand High Witch. I’d be the one who got exterminated at the start lmao
SPOILERS FOR THE BOOK:
Actually there is a difference in the books and the movie in the end. Luke at the end stayed as a mouse forever, he never changed back, and he died with his grandma after 15 or 25 years (I dont remember), because of his mouse life expectancy.
Roald Dahl hated this change in the movie….
@@osmanyousif7849 And his wife went outside the theatre,telling people not to see it.
@@phousefilmslol
Bruno also died off screen in the book
3:44 she also eventually vanished from the painting altogether, essentially dying trapped in the painting.
And just so you get how horrifying it was: she was 80 years old!
OMG! How terrifying!
Yea she spent her whole life almost in the painting
This movie scared a lot of kids back in the 90's, and it's still pretty terrifying to this day.
He stays a mouse forever in the Book. The movie originally had the same ending but the producers didn't like it in screenings and made them record a new ending. Roald Dahl hated that they changed the ending because he thought it ruined the message
The book was a all about confronting the idea that life, in any shape or form, can be altered or taken away inconsequentially.
The author wanted to showcase to the reader that not everything in the world is black and white.
Even the 2020 film kept that ending
Her moving her hips to Bruno is basically her getting very “excited” turning him into a mouse to kill him which is symbolizing child predators
Roald Dahl himself once admitted he simultaneously admired and envied children. While his stories spotlight children’s vulnerability to trauma, his child protagonists show how childhood can be an isolating but ultimately triumphant experience. P.s. love the color of your hair.
He also wanted to showcase adults confronting mortality while children confront maturity.
I love how we are all collectively scarred by the transformation scene. It's mentioned in every commentary/review. That's cinema baby
Definitely a part I look forward to
I don't think I would've been the same if I sat down and watched this as a child. From this, to Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach and Matilda, Roald Dahl film adaptations used to MESS ME UP.
The girl growing up in the painting HAUNTED me as a child. Reading the comments I am so glad to know I wasnt alone.
it should be a crime to be this early but i’m a bisexual with a crush so 👩🦯
i watched this school in elementary school after my class finished reading the book. I remember being fascinated/confused by the differences between the book and film adaptation. Funny enough the Bruno transformation scene did spook me as a kid but I was waaaay more scared of the Grand High Witch's real form.
Same absolutely terrified of it
Okay let's all take a moment to appreciate THE HAIR 😍😍😍 now that is just gorgeous on you 😭
Thank you!!! 🥰💙
I loved this movie and stayed at that hotel, it's in Cornwall England and it's very nice, it's still there today I think
I used to live in Venice Beach, where Angelica still lives. One day I saw her on the bike path coming towards me - she was on a pink bike, wearing pink clothes, pink gloves and in a pink hat. Her face was unmistakeable and even in all that soft pink she still had that aura of badass power!
I love that, that is icon behavior
Lol yeah Jim Henson didn’t hold back. I think that and Angela Houston’s performance really have let this movie stand the test of time
This children's movie is scarier than most adult horror movies today.
Like "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang;" the Child Catcher
Ok, Angelica Houston is the QUEEN of goth camp. I love her so much. And the practical effects are so much more disturbing than smooth CGI. And I tell you what, this has got to be terrifying when you're flying higher than a kite on a blustery day
For another Jim Henson production with scary puppets - Dark Crystal
The Skeksis might give you nightmares.
I love the dark blue hair. It’s so cute!!!❤
Thank you 💙💙
Fire Lord Ozai: I once burned half my son's face off for interupting a meeting.
Grand high witch: Hold my broomstick!
I'm pretty sure he stays as a mouse in the book, and if I remember correctly he has a very short lifespan but much longer than a regular mouse would live. Also I didn't know there was a remake of this movie! I don't think I'll watch it tho XD
Yes. He was a mouse in the book. And it is pretty much mentioned that he does age a bit quicker. The 2020 version kept that ending but that wasn't enough to keep it from being awful. Dahl actually hated the ending of the film version. The story goes that he stood outside at the premiere with a megaphone begging people not to see it. He did like Angelica Houston as the Grand High Witch though.
you should watch Little Monsters for another spooky but not Halloween movie lol. even if it’s not for the channel, i feel like you would like the humor in it :)
Great suggestion. The Witches and Little Monsters are both 90s classics (even though Little Monsters was released late 1989).
Little Monsters had a great blend of humor x darkness x suspense.
i was simultaneously scared and absolutely in love with this movie when i was younger
The 2020 one wasn't as horrifying as this one. Everytime the scene came on with Anjelica Huston removing her mask it crept me out .
Anjelica Huston gave us this and morticia addams in the same year and she still looked fabulous
“It’s a relatively old movie” me who was born in 92 and has no idea what this movie is. I feel hurt being called old 😂
LOOOOL happy 30th this year 🤪
@@SophiaPhannn hahah thank you, I turn 30 on Saturday and honestly not ready lol
Love The Witches! Always loved Roald Dahl. In elementary school I picked this to read aloud to the class. When we were done, I brought my copy of the movie to have the class watch it. I hope I scarred some of my classmates. The ballroom/transformation scene is such a perfect translation from the book (the 2020 Zemeckis film is such a let down). The practical effects are fantastic and it’s for sure another great goth queen performance from the Anjelica Huston.
I watched this movie during quarantine and this movie freaked me out lol Straight up nightmare fuel. The glowing eyes creeped me out! Makeup design did their thang
Omg i love your videos sophie and i remember watching this movie when i was 10 i was scared of my mom lol but i would love for you to wacth IT next lol it is terrifying
One of only two movies I couldn't make it through as a kid because I was too freaked out (the other being Return To Oz).
My mom really wanted to take me to movies in 1985, when I was 2. Unfortunately, the two she chose were Return to Oz and that year's re-release of Disney's Pinocchio, both of which I found terrifying at that age, though I enjoyed both when I was a few years older (at around 8-9)
My mother and I would watch this when I was a kid around the fall. I remember my mom told me that her boss would transform into one of the Witches and to stay away from her office or you'll be turned into a mouse. Come to find out it was because she hated kids and my mom didn't want me running around like Dennis the menace and get her fired lol.
Might as well have been a witch since they hated children 😂
@@SophiaPhannn To be fair, I was always accidentally breaking things 😂
This was one of my favorite movies as a child. I even named my cat Luke after the main character. I was a weird kid I loved all things spooky and witchy. I even loved the Witches book by Roald Dahl. This movie deserves more attention. Anjelica Huston is incredible! I also loved her in Ever After. Thanks for reacting to this movie. Also your hair looks fantastic! I hope you have a wonderful day.
11:19 it means that overexcited witch nearly planned to blow their cover. She was suggesting dump the formula on the sweets all at once. But if she'd done so, the children would've immediately turned to mice and their cover would've been blown.
The idea is to pace themselves with the formula so the child has no idea what happened until they're a fair distance away from them, ergo nobody is pointing the finger at them.
The book made me so sad and so scared so you can only imagine how much the film terrified me
The ending of the book is still happy, but not as happy as the movie ending.
As a British kid I had to read Roald Dahls autobiography "BOY" at 13 for school. Its a great book and also explains his literature very well. namely, that as far as he saw it most adults hated kids and made them feel bad which stemmed from his terrible time at a private all boy school he attended where for the first day every boy was beaten on the bum with a stick till they could not sit. Done so kids knew exactly what there punishment would be for any misbehaving
I member berries this when i was a child. How Hollywood got away with rating this for children is beyond me.
this was one of my FAVORITE movies as a kid!! always fun seeing other peoples reactions to it🥰
Word Of Advice: try watching Pinocchio 1996 i'm sure that movie scared everybody who was born in the 90s and grew up watching that Horror Flick in 2000s.
I was gonna say at some point a reaction to the 1940 Disney Pinocchio considering that there is a remake that came out recently that received awful reviews and, like The Witches 2020, was also directed by Robert Zemeckis. (Seriously, the guy directed Back to the Future and Roger Rabbit. Wth happened?)
Part of the reason that so many kid adventure movies star kids without parents and/or friends is because the kid has to work without a support network, forcing them to grow. If they had their parents and friends then its harder to give a reason for them to leave their safe space. I remembered that from when a film critic was explaining why Bambi's mom died.
P.S. I am not sure if the witches had anything to do with Luke's parents' death. Dahl was a big believer in being honest with children, especially about the fact that life just sucks sometimes.
Exactly!
Sophia: Talks about how disgusting Bruno is.
Me: "We don't talk about Bruno."
I’m convinced that Roald Dahl actually hated Children and wanted to traumatise them with his stories….unfortunately for him, Children are messed up little buggers and loved his stories, thus making children love him and perpetuated his own Hell.
i've never heard of this movie but omg the nightmares i would've had had i watched this as a kid
To me this movie is up there with Coraline on the list of freaky kid's movies. But I actually like the recent remake with Anne Hathaway
So this was one of my favs as a child because it was such a trip and adventure as a kid, but it wasn't until a recent rewatch that I noticed that a number of the "witches" were actually men AND I think one or two of them might have in fact been Pythons of the Flying Circus variety. :) This one definitely solidifies me as a new sub!
Oh wow I didn't notice! I guess it's easy to get away with when you have no close ups or speaking lines 😂
I only noticed that fact when I watched Nostalgia Critic's review of the movie a couple of years back and he pointed out that the background characters were mostly men. Then again, I don't pay a ton of attention to small background details in films very often.
This is my little sister’s favourite movie 😂 she watches it everyday.
Also, haven't watched one of your vids in a while. LOVING the hair.
I've always loved this movie! Angelica Hustun was perfect for this role.
We had rain last night with a little tiny bit of lightning. I LOVE THIS MOVIE AHHHH watched it constantly as a kid. And yes. It is horrific. I'm so excited! 💜
AM I THE FIRST COMMENTER?! EEEE!! Ok so here is my chance to tell you how much I adore your singing and I always sing along and am envious of your effortless perfection. Gurl I hope you're going somewhere with talent like that uh. Cuz you should. I love your channel (and your hair!) And yes.

For some more fun witch make-up for spooky season - Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)
In the book, Luke stays a mouse and dies in just a couple of years (mice have very short lifespans), but he is happy about it because it means he won't outlive his grandmother.
I'm glad that you got around to watching this movie. It used to scare the crap out of me as a kid!
the beginning of this movie scared me so much as a child that i quit my first job
the witch turning into a mouse at the end sort of looks like my dog...
11:24 well in this case, it's based off of his own childhood experiences with adults. The grandmother is even based off of his own mother.
I knew this film because I was a big Roald Dahl reader when I was young; he was huge in the UK. The film's alright; not up there with the best Dahl movies, but it's fun and weird
Random 'I like practical effects' spooky season recommendation: The Blob (1988)
Oh yeah it definitely doesn't compare to Matilda, but I love the campiness of it!
I was 8 when this came out. It holds the distinction of being the first movie to scare the ever living crap out of me. The girl trapped in the painting, getting older, the parents forced to watch… what a freaking nightmare of an idea. And such a simple, creepy visual.
the scene where he turns to a rat has haunted me for twenty years...
If I recall correctly, Luke stays a mouse in the book because he didn’t want to outlive his grandmother. Which is so sweet but so sad!
Omg wait that's so sad :( I guess since his grandma was the only person he had, there was nothing else to live for 😭
It's been a while since I read it, but the film ending was a cop-out to make a happy ending, in the original book I think it was more that they were unable to transform him back, so he & grandma decided to spend the few years they had left hunting down as many witches as they could before they died.
From what I've heard, Roald Dahl was upset that they changed the ending of this movie to make it happy. Then again, Dahl seems to have hated every film adaptation of his works that was released during his lifetime.
Wait what about if in the future he could meet more people throughout his lifetime if he’d had a human life span
@@SophiaPhannnThis could also be that Luke didn’t want to be alone in a world he sees as dangerous.
And since his parents are out of the picture, it is implied that, for Luke, life is too short anyway.
Just re-watched your Avatar reaction and have been watching several other videos you've made while I've been super sick, thank you for making it somewhat tolerable.
I read the book, and once the movie came out I thought it would be fine because the book wasn't bad (obviously I don't know visuals) and watched it. Terrified me. I don't even know how it's a kids movie. 😰
13:39 The book explains that most of the witches didn't smell Luke because he hadn't bathed in several days and had been playing outdoors a lot. That's why it took a witch being super close to his hiding place to smell him. Also, for all his faults, Bruno is much nicer in this movie than he was in the book. Book Bruno had a fistfight with Luke because Luke stopped Bruno from burning ants with a magnifying glass, and they were bitter enemies, whereas in the movie, Bruno is gross, and acts somewhat entitled when demanding the chocolate he was promised by the witches, but he is fairly friendly toward Luke. Also, the book doesn't have Luke get turned back into a human, and it's explained that he has about 9 years to live as a "mouse-person", which means he will likely pass away around the same time as his grandma. The book ends with Luke and his grandma planning to use their remaining years to hunt down and deal with the rest of the witches in the world (and that's not very many, as England only had about 100 before they got turned into mice).
I fuckin love this movie! It is my childhood and I just love any witch centered movie! Also the grandma is so cool! I love her! Also Anjelica Huston is a Queen! Also yes Roald Dahl did hate children. He actually hated this movie because of the ending because in the book, Luke stays a mouse and dies with his grandma who had I think pneumonia or some illness that eventually killed her so they died together.
Omg did he actually hate children 😂 that would make sense though
@@SophiaPhannn from what I heard he did lol that's why he liked writing these types of stories 😂
I remember watching this movie as a child, though *how* I was able to watch it... I dunno. Not sure if it was airing on TV back in the day, or rented by my mum ('cause she also remembers watching it with me), but the part of him turning into a mouse is still burned into my brain despite not seeing it in YEARS. I do remember thinking the main witch was super pretty (yet scary once she takes off her mask). XD
BRO my mom showed me this movie when I was 8/9 and bro the transformation had me scared for weeks 😭😭😭
I tried to watch this movie a while ago to heal from the 3 years of fear the book caused for me as a kid (window locking, baseball bat next to the bed, checking the closet and under the bed obsessively kind of fear), and I couldn't get past when the witches reveal themselves 😭 it made me so nauseous
The way the magic works is they turn the children into something weaker, and easier to kill or destroy, and let the fallout do the rest.
You saw the painting one, where she aged in the painting and then vanished. But with the others, one witch just took a kid away from his friends, and no one ever saw him again. Until a few days later when he appeared as a petrified statue.
Another boy was turned into a porpoise, so he spent the whole day playing with his family at the beach, then swam away and vanished altogether.
I know no one likes the 2020 Witches movie but I'm not gonna lie, I really enjoyed Anne Hathaway's performance in that movie. This movie is worlds better but I really liked watching Anne play an evil witch. 😂
I think Alan did well on the score plus the 2020 adaptation is more faithful to the original story especially the ending.
I think I watched the movies back to back, so by comparison, the 2020 remake was just not as good 😭 probably also why I mixed up the endings and assumed he stayed a mouse lol
@@SophiaPhannn It’s only in the original book, and 2020 film that he stayed as a mouse.
@@SophiaPhannn yeah looking back the movie was pretty cheap looking. The CGI was some of the worst I've ever seen, the acting some of the actors did was kinda wooden and the witches didn't seem to give a fuck about the Grand High Witch. Again I think the only thing I liked was Anne Hathaway and I did kinda like that the ending stayed true to the book even though I prefer the ending in the 1990 movie.
@@TwilightLink77 yeah the music was pretty good from what I remember. I feel like music score are usually the highlight of some of the worst movies. 😂
George of the Jungle and other himbos awoke my gay side, and every film featuring a witch put a spell on my straight side and in this essay I wi
Have you done a reaction to the Addams Family movies yet?
If not, you should do that next!
😁
I absolutely loved this movie as a kid!! Me and my siblings still quote "grandma! Grandma!" "She caaaan't heearrrr you" to this day and we're all in our late 20s now 😂
Okay I have heard people talk about this movie for years but no one ever ACTUALLY showed the transformation scene for some reason, they only ever showed the main witch taking off her mask. Good grief no wonder people were freaked out by this movie
Nah the main witch taking off her mask was NOTHING compared to the Bruno-mouse transformation scene 😭
This was the last Jim Henson worked on before his death
Blue hair just suits you a lot, looking amazing. I kinda like how older "children's" movie, doesn't really seem like its made specifically for kids. The trauma that comes with some of them tho, not really a favorable side effect.
Thank you!
Adults can enjoy children’s movies and shows
I saw two versions of the witches 1990 original and 2020 remake and some how guys the high and grandmaster witch is playing anjelica Huston and Anne Hathaway in it
This was definitely a really wild adaptation of this story! Even with the trigger warning I was not fully prepared for that mouse transformation! Quite intense Lmfao! This might even be better than the book in some ways, as this wasn't my top favorite Roald Dahl book, but it still has all his fun style and classic themes. At least the freaky puppetry wasn't as cursed as Labyrinth lol. Another Very unsettling Henson film I've never made it all the way through is "The Dark Crystal". Those melting evil bird puppets are even 1000 times worse than anything in Labyrinth. I usually make it about 5 or 10 minutes into The Dark Crystal before I'm like oh hell no I'm out! 🤣It is phenomenon how beloved even the most cursed Henson films are. I guess especially because of nostalgia they stay so popular.
I love this movie. One of my favorite Ronald Dahl movies. Angelica Houston plays the grand High Witch. She also plays Mortica in the Addams Family movies.
See my Dad and I...we're kinda...sadists, I guess? Not in the sense that we like torture porn or blood and guts, but when practical FX in a film make us sit up and take notice, we REALLY enjoy ourselves. My mom and sister on the other hand, well...not so much.
So this came out when I was four and I didn't have the attention span for it. But fast forward to 94' and my folks rented this one night a few weeks after Christmas. Soon as the transformation sequence starts up, my Dad and I almost start cheering. It was so over-the-top and grotesque...but it didn't matter, we enjoyed the hell out of it. My Dad was all "Yeeeeeah man, that is NASTY....so cool!" While my mom and sister were all "Oh sweep leaping CHRIST, whatishappening?!" Same with most of the Henson films...Labyrinth of course, but also Dark Crystal and the Muppet Christmas Carol (the BEST iteration in my opinion...fight me). They were creepy and weird and just unsettling in places, I loved that stuff. Nightmare Before Christmas made my sister sick (too much gross out humor I guess...and the bugs) but Dad and I saw that in theaters almost a dozen times over the first 18 years of my life. Same with Beetlejuice and Coraline and Return to Oz, we ate that shit up. Recently he's been watching a lot of what we call "normal horror" films (slashers like Scream and Mystery Thrillers like Mama and Orphan) but when we see each other around the holidays we'll probably pop-in the first or second Addams Family movie or even Corpse Bride. It might just be the two of us, but my sister and mom just don't gel with that stuff as well.
So what's next??? Black phone? Sleepy Hollow? Great Vid! 😁
Alot of those extras were men which was so normal back then BUT now it’s looked at as a crime🙄
Tom & Jerry clip killed me😂😂
I was a kid in the 90's and i watched the shit out of this movie, i do remember the first time i saw the witch take off her mask it scared the crap out of me but after that i really loved watching it, also the story about Erica scared me so much but that was my favorite part.
My fourth grade English read the book to us in October, and showed us the movie at the end of the month. She even dressed up as the Grand High Witch for Halloween lol
17:00 Even growing up in the 1980s and 90s, I usually only heard the word "pussy" used as meaning a cat, not the other, more recent meaning, as I read a lot of older children's literature and didn't hang out with the "wrong crowd". When I was first called that by some kid who was trying to pick a fight with me, I just shrugged it off, figuring he was calling me a cat. I could tell by his tone he meant it as an insult, but I didn't see how it could be insulting. He seemed very confused that it didn't make me mad...
Having mentioned Jim Henson and terrifying I assume you’ve you The Dark Crystal? Trust that The Muppets paid the bills but the guy had a bit of a dark side to his work.
I saw this movie was on Netflix during quarantine and it said it was for kids so I put it on for my younger cousin...we both had A LOT of trouble getting thru that transformation scene lol my cousin left the room 😂
I grew up reading the book as a favorite, and this movie didn’t disappoint in its adaptation…except for the ending. Spoilers: in the original book ending, Luke remains a mouse and is fated to die in several years due to mice’s short lifespans, but he is happy because it means he will likely die at the same time as his grandma and will never be alone. Bruno’s fate is never revealed, but Luke suspects his parents, not wanting a mouse as a child, had Bruno drowned in a fire bucket.
I watched this and the first hellraiser movie back to back as a kid. do you understand the level of punching at shadows? this brought out of me? and then that same week my mom went to a mechanic and a rat trap went off in the shop and I could hear the rat screaming. do you know how many things make that sound?! more than you'd imagine
I can't handle screams of pain 😭🤢
first time i watch this movie was back at Maurice Sendek Elementary School we read the book first then watch the movie i gotta say this was the scariest film ever made by Jim Henson Creature Shop and his last work before he died.
For some reason the girl being trapped in the painting was always far more disturbing to me than anything else in this movie. I'm not exactly sure why, but I think part of the reason was the way she was abducted, just snatched off the street while running a simple errand, going down an alley she'd probably gone down a hundred times before. That always felt a little too real. The other part was her family having to see her there in the painting everyday but being completely unable to help her, touch her, or even talk to her (and I can only imagine myself in their shoes, my rational brain struggling to comprehend an incomprehensible situation). She essentially becomes a ghost, one whose presence casts a bleak shadow over her family long after she's gone and prevents them from moving on with their lives. I always wondered, too... can she see *them?* Is she aware and conscious of what her family is doing, like the painting is a window she can look through? Either way, the idea of a seeing a missing loved one appear in a painting is unsettling enough, but then add in the fact they change position from day to day, and can even age... it's just so creepy yet tragic at the same time.
Watched this a few days ago and the transformation scene with the Charlie gave me nightmares😂I forgot how terrifying this was as a second grader
8:43 🤣
17:10 oh gosh😅
23:58 true
You matching your hair & nails.... ugh. A queen. 🤷🏾♂️🥂💙
I had to 😌💅
If I was going to recommend a good horror comedy Halloween movie for when October starts, I'd say react to Ernest Scared Stupid. It's a Halloween classic and it's one of the first movies I watch as soon as the spooky season starts. It stars one of my favorite actors ever, Jim Varney. I think it'd make for a great and entertaining reaction.
