You want your eye candy witch, you gotta go with Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. ---

Odd. My daughter would instantly say the sisters on _ **Charmed** _, but nobody here has mentioned them so far. The young Samantha certainly gets my vote. Followed by Elvira and Sabrina. **EDIT:** Yes, the sisters have been mentioned. My mistake! :smack: ---

Does Galadriel from LOTR count, Elf-Witch-Queen? If so, she gets my vote. ---

I think Spike would agree with me: Tabitha Lennox from _Passions_ is the most watchable. ---

Hands down, I would say Samantha Stevens. But I freely admit I’ve not seen any TV witches since that time. ---

Uncle Arthur. He was a witch and a _bitch_. Or maybe Jessica Lange in a couple days. We’ll have to see. ---

Has to be the [Scarlet Witch](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScarletWitch) [QUOTE= Wanda Maximoff, The Avengers] My mutant ability is to create chaos. To make the improbable a certainty. Sometimes all of this negative energy ends my head spinning too. Sometimes I feel as if I can do nothing but perpetuate the unnatural. But the Avengers are there to keep me grounded. To bring order into my life. [/QUOTE] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/which-witch-to-watch/670454.md?page=1)
