Our Coven: The Wicked Queen

Team Experience is assembling our own coven of preferred witches for Halloween. Here's Deborah with the true star of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)

Why choose between the sexy vamp witch and the classic hag? With the Wicked Queen, you get two, two, two witches in one! Honestly, I don't know why anyone roots for Snow White in this movie. The Queen has the wardrobe, the jewelry, the sexy butch henchmen, and a castle. Snow White has wooden shoes, dwarfs, and a lot of housework.

I always wanted to be the Wicked Queen when I grew up. And who does her makeup? Those lips! Those eyes!

Broom: If only. Disney villains die in falls from cliffs (it's a rule). If she had a broom, she could have survived.

Favored Spell: Poisoned apple.

Pointy hat: Ha! Jeweled crown, darlings. Jeweled everything. She's fabulous.

Familiar: Magic Mirror.

"Only Bad Witches Are Ugly": Wrong, Glinda. This one's both hag AND femme fatale

my favorite thing about her other than that AWESOME throne she sits in is her bookshelf,

I love this. I hope someone is going to write about Anjelica Huston from The Witches and Bette, Kathy, and Sarah from Hocus Pocus!

October 28, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterJoey

Indeed. Bookshelf. Her own castle. That freaking purple robe. She's the best.

Petty correction: Glinda said "only bad witches are ugly."

October 28, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterHayden W

Hayden -ACK. you are correct. I have fixed. that was my editing error, not Deborah's.

We wanted Snow White to eat the apple just so she would SHUT UP. Gawd, that voice drove us crazy.

I second Joey's comment re Anjelica Huston. Sublime witchery. Also love Helen Mirren as Morgana (Excalibur) and Helena Bonham-Carter as Bellatrix (Harry Potter).

I am such a huge Harry Potter fan that I can't believe I forgot Helena Bonham Carter in HP. She's a crazy bitch in those movies.

Too bad Miranda Richardson's Queen Mab is disqualified. :(

October 28, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterSanty.C

Oh wait, I just realized Miranda also played the evil queen in Snow White. Wonder if Sigourney Weaver's version will get a writeup. :)

And Bernadette!

Anjelica Huston as The Grand High Witch is my favorite witch.

There was a YA book that I was so close to buying -- written from her perspective. That makeup though? She is so drag, it's hilarious.

Speaking of Disney villains, has anyone seen this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAUZIw95ueM#t=18

It's pretty much everything to me right now.
