Witches have been given a bad rap in this country since the late 1600

Louise (Robyn Lively), an inconspicuous high school cutie, discovers that she

#12: MARY, HELEN, JILL, & ILENE IN WICKED LAKE (2008)

Curfews are recommended when dating Mary, Helen, Jill, or Ilene (Carlee Baker, Eryn Joslyn, Eve Mauro, Robin Sydney). Why? Because these four beauties take the term

#11: ANGELIQUE BOUCHARD COLLINS IN DARK SHADOWS (1967-1971)

Angelique (Lara Parker) has an unfair advantage over this list

#10: SALLY & GILLIAN OWENS IN PRACTICAL MAGIC (1998)

Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian (Nicole Kidman) Owens are siblings born into a family of witches. For an Owens woman, falling for a man means he

#9: SAMANTHA STEPHENS IN BEWITCHED (1964-1972)

All that witch-in-hiding Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) wants to do is cook, clean, and be a loving wife to her normal husband. And, despite her magical family

#4: JENNIFER IN I MARRIED A WITCH (1942)

#2: SARAH BAILEY, NANCY DOWNS, BONNIE, & ROCHELLE IN THE CRAFT (1996)

Even the most superficial of high school jocks want to bag a Goth girl or two; after all, the cheerleader-types can be so generic. The witchy foursome in The Craft is the ultimate manifestation of that desire. Social outcasts made all the more interesting by their short skirts and hinted-at curves, Sarah (Robin Tunney), Nancy (Fairuza Balk), Bonnie (Neve Campbell), and Rochelle (Rachel True) are the kinds of chicks football players make bets over who can screw one first. Crass, yes, but please believe we

#1: PRUE, PHOEBE, PIPER, & PAIGE HALLIWELL IN CHARMED (1998-2006)

Not all witches are evil. Some, like the gorgeous Halliwell sisters—Prue (Shannen Doherty), Phoebe (Alyssa Milano), Piper (Holly Marie Combs), and Paige (Rose McGowan)—use their powers for good. Consider them a brunette-heavy, all-girl Justice League, taking out warlocks and demons while attempting to live normal lives in modern-day San Francisco. Is it a bit soft to say that we
