I love Anne Hathaway, but Angelica Houston killed this role.

And even Roald Dahl himself told that he enjoyed Angelica Huston performance.

In the book, it never mentioned what the head witch's accent was, other than it sounding ridiculous and foreign to someone in England.

Cool story of

[@not.supermario]

This movie definitely holds a place in my childhood. In 3rd grade, my teacher would always do storytelling by reading us books. She'd change her voice and add to the atmosphere from just reading a simple page. This book was one of the ones she read us and I loved every minute of it. Always had me wondering what was coming next. We got to watch this movie after finishing the book reading. If she read us a book and it had a movie, we got to watch it. I remember my friend Lizzie hiding behind me when the mask was taken off. I honestly was not expecting it to be this scary. I didn't get scared but boy, when you're a kid and you see this, it does give you the heebie jeebies. Nonetheless, I loved the book and the movie and I never get tired of them. Plus Anjelica Huston was the real Grand High Witch. Beautiful as ever on the outside but this time, she was both beautiful and evil at the same time. Can't ask for a better actress to play this role.

[@Sigma0283]

“Who spoke?” The moment the witches knew someone was about to die. The Grand High Witch does this at least once at every meeting primarily to instill fear into the other witches to insure that they follow her orders. Normally it’s an incompetent witch but she also will sometimes target a random one. Trivia: in this scene with the witches, if you watch closely, you may notice many of the witches are actually bald men dressed in drag.

[@Cenindo]

If a nice little execution is a matter of course at every meeting, it would take a singularly stupid witch to say ANYTHING that could be interpreted as a criticism, however vague and indirect, of the outpourings of the Grand Witch.

[@Sigma0283]

Cenindo the point is to keep the other witches terrified of the Grand High Witch.

[@ste9281]

When the grand high witch was saying her little rhyme while getting ready to incinerate the witch, the other witches sitting near that witch frighteningly move away. They know she is literal toast

[@foreignroninl1555]

Additional trivia: in the scene where Bruno turns into a mouse, one of the witches is acutally played by Monty Python member Michael Palin.

[@LightLife4]

I did read that part in the wiki plot. I just thought to myself that if she keeps that up she'll just end up killing all the witches in England herself (though it'll take a good few years if it's one per year).

[@JWH316]

The Remake makes this movie alot more like an Academy Award Winner. Angelica Houston will always be the true Grand High Witch

[@paulod27]

tbh, Angelica's performance was academy award winning even if she wasn't nominated for one.

[@oliverpony]

The same way Gene Wilder will always be Willy Wonka

[@duffman18]

The new film isn't a remake you utter dummy. It's an adaptation of the book. Please don't tell me you've never read the book before? I know kids these days never read anymore, but you really should read Roald Dahl's entire bibliography. Do you even know what a "book" is? The new one is far more accurate to the book. But kids who don't read and think that only movies exist don't understand things like that. They think Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was an original story, when it was based on the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory It seems to be mostly Americans who don't know who Roald Dahl is and that all his books are fantastic, and that he might be the author who's had most film adaptations of his books, even in a world where Stephen King exists. Roald Dahl is also the character James Bond is based on, because of his pre-writing career. He was a British spy would go over to the US and sleep with the wives of US senators in an attempt to blackmail the US into joining world war II. Although then Pearl harbor happened, so all of that wasn't needed in the end.

I like that they won't use the term "killed" when she says she wants every child should be "rubbed out," "destroyed," "eliminated," "wipe out" because Heaven forbid you scare the young audience. Despite the fact that everything else in the movie is so disturbing for a young audience.

I know kids these days never read anymore, but you really should read Roald Dahl's entire bibliography. Do you even know what a "book" is? The new one is far more accurate to the book. But kids who don't read and think that only movies exist don't understand things like that. They think Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was an original story, when it was based on the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory It seems to be mostly Americans who don't know who Roald Dahl is and that all his books are fantastic, and that he might be the author who's had most film adaptations of his books, even in a world where Stephen King exists. Roald Dahl is also the character James Bond is based on, because of his pre-writing career. He was a British spy would go over to the US and sleep with the wives of US senators in an attempt to blackmail the US into joining world war II. Although then Pearl harbor happened, so all of that wasn't needed in the end.

[@George-Hawthorne]

@@duffman18 A bit arrogant don't you think, to assume that we don't know who Roald Dahl is or are familiar with his work. Also this is a remake, just like we consider the crap Disney has been pumping out recently as 'Live Action Remakes." This a remake or the first adaptation to the book. Also, I haven't seen it due to past experience with these types of films but the witches in the remake are certainly not accurate to the books.

The special effects when she's about to remove the mask are amazing. And the makeup... sometimes I totally forget that's Anjelica Huston in there!

[@moonyeanclare3517]

Gustavo Horn The makeup was incredible especially for that time, Anjelica had to endure hours of makeup for this scene but she was still amazing.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

I could see Lucy Lawless in the remake.

[@RukudoSage69]

Gustavo Horn I thought a different actress played her true form?

[@ministryofmike9590]

For years I always thought a different actress played the part of The Grand High Witch when her true form is revealed. Anjelica was a real trooper to endure all those hours in the make up chair during her 3 week stint of filming. This movie is screaming for a Special Edition, I would love to find out more about this classic. I remember seeing this in my School class and the teacher had to stop the VHS only around the 10 min mark when you see the close up of the eyes of Erica's Witch kidnapper as it scared a lot of the class but I wanted to see the rest of the film. As I had gotten older, I read the book but then finally saw the film from start to finish. Such a great creepy movie and wished the original ending from the book was used as I thought it was great yet incredibly sad for a young audience to accept at the time. Always takes me back to my younger years when it was a much happier time and before the internet, times I sometimes miss very much.

[@Disney65Fan]

Yeah I wonder how they did that was it she had to wear 2 masks or what.

[@marymeyer4379]

When I watched this at the age of 4 years, I was afraid of entering any hotel. Well, we went to Disneyland and because I was so terrified about witches, we didn't booked a hotel room. We took a bungalow 3 miles away. I was happy about that. My parents not. But now I regret my choice😂
