Angelica Houston always killed it in any role she was given.

[Jackie-McCann]

2:15 I love the reaction of The Grand High Witch’s (former) assistant here. She’s probably thinking, “Damn, did I dodge a bullet!”

[bazla]

The Grand High Witch, responsible for killing thousands of children, met her end because of a child she failed to murder. A perfect end of the Grand High Witch.

[evanhaskel]

The employees at the hotel are going to need a lot of counseling after this.

[manuelenrique]

When the Grand High Witch is transforming you can hear her skin tightening and her bones shrinking and it sounds so utterly painful.

[hmnanda]

back when children's movies were scarier than horror movies today

[richardjones]

For a kids movie, this was really dark and scary.

[filipzawistowski]

I love how Mr Stringer is just so no nonsense about this whole situation 🤣 "Get the one in the tights... The one in the wig, IN THE WIG! NO, NOT THAT ONE, the brown one!!!"

[Conniving]

0:02 Nicola Cuttle is the first to feel the effects
0:10 Mid-trasnformation
1:27 Her final moments
2:44 Her remains: brown wig, tan dress, and long black gloves

[Mad-Hatter-ison]

I like how when the witches in the film were transformed, a lot of the actresses seemed to be having fun trying to react to the transformation, especially the one in the burnt orange and black gloves that was next to the Grand High Witch

[elphaba]

I love how her sidekick became a good witch!

[theatergeek]

I have to say that the Grand High Witch looked scarier when she was transforming into a mouse

[marcuscurry]

I love when she yells out, "THAT WOMAN OVER THERE!"

[richardhernandez]

1:24: Cmon, GET THE MICE!!!!

Wow, Mr. Stringer was definitely NO NONSENSE!

[darthstarkiller]

Yeah, the 2020 remake will be nowhere near as scary as this.

[okcoolros]

“it’s YOUR turn” grandma was such a badass

[ProWalter]

Jesus, they dubbed in jaguar and tiger noises while the grand high witch was transforming, and that made the animatronic that more terrifying

[fanghur]

"I have no sword. I don't need a sword. Because I am the Grand High Witch, and this is my spoon! En garde!" :D

[samkresil]

1:04 Funny how Bruno jumps on the Grand High Witch but then the grandmother casually picks him off.

[dannydproductions]

I love Roald Dahls books growing up. Find out witches had a movie was so crazy to me. I had to watch it!!

It was terrifying. Very fun!
