Roald Dahl’s The Witches is now on HBO Max. It’s a great movie to enjoy with your family this Halloween. As a former teacher, I’d say it’s great to watch anytime! If you haven’t shared the Roald Dahl book with your kids, now is the time!

This post is in partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures.

ROALD DAHL’S THE WITCHES MOVIE

Oscar-winning director Robert Zemeckis (“Forrest Gump”) has reimagined the story you may remember from your childhood for the modern audience and has brought The Witches movie to a new generation!

The movie is based on the book by Roald Dahl and the screenplay is by Robert Zemeckis & Kenya Barris (TV’s “black-ish,” “Shaft”), and Oscar winner Guillermo del Toro (“The Shape of Water”).

If you haven’t read the book with your kids, BUY YOUR COPY NOW! It’s a must have!

Clip from The Witches movie

The film tells the story of a young orphaned boy who goes to live with his loving Grandma in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis. As the boy and his grandmother encounter some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, she wisely whisks our young hero away to an opulent seaside resort. Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world’s Grand High Witch has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe—undercover—to carry out her nefarious plans.

If you haven’t seen The Witches on HBO Max yet, check out the trailer below!

    I love all the intentional family time. Movie nights, making snacks & treats together, (in normal years) going to trick or treat both sets of grandparents’ houses. The Witches was my FAVORITE book growing up, along with Matilda, I can’t wait to see this remake.

    I love being able to dress up with the kids and not being judged for dressing up. Ha, I love cosplay but don’t get to near enough.

    I live in a senior building so not a lot of kids show up. My great niece comes over and see pictures. My mother (90) would say her favorite thing is buying candy at 1/2 price
