Enchanted Screens: A Witchy Watchlist for Shadowy Nights
By: The Lace Ledger Staff
Not all spells are cast with cauldrons and cloaks. Some are conjured in flickering light — whispered through film reels, stitched into satin costumes, spoken by women accused of being too powerful, too strange or too free.
For those who feel the call of the coven, we’ve gathered a watchlist of films and shows where witchcraft, mysticism and the dark feminine take center stage.
This is not all about broomsticks and caricatures. It’s about seduction, sovereignty and shadow work — the kind of witchcraft you can taste in a cup of tea or feel in the echo of a blood-red moon.

No coven movie night is complete without a little bit of ritual comfort. Drape yourself in a blanket as soft as the moonlight, slip into a sweater that feels like a spell against the chill and sip from a mug that could double as a cauldron.
Let the candles flicker their enchantments while tea steams like potion. Create an altar of witchy aesthetics to help your gathering feel cozy, charming and magical.

This is cinema as ritual — a séance of style, story and seduction. Each title invites you to slip into a different kind of power: the visionary, the heretic, the woman with fire in her hands. Watch them as moonlight pours across your floor and remember: witchcraft has never been about potions. It’s always been about power.
