All of Them Witches

Overview

When October hits, things get a little spooky in cinemas. New horror movies start making their way to the big screen, and old favourites return as well. But you don't have to confine your scary viewing to just one month, or even just to Halloween. At the Ritz in Randwick, all those creepy flicks are playing right through until mid-December, in fact.

Gather your coven, because this film series is all about folks wielding wands, standing around cauldrons and working their magic. It is called All of Them Witches, after a line from Rosemary's Baby, after all. And yes, that absolute classic is on the lineup, as is everything from The Wizard of Oz and the original Suspiria to Hocus Pocus and Practical Magic. Or, you can check out Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages from 1922, Bell, Book and Candle from 1958, The Witches of Eastwick from 1987 and 2016's The Love Witch.

The Craft is on the bill, too — the original, that is. Its 24-years-later sequel The Craft: Legacy also features, because it's playing in general release at the cinema. And, come December 10 when it opens in general release as well, you can add the new version of The Witches to your must-watch list.

Retro sessions run on Friday nights at 7pm until December 18, and on select Mondays as well. As for new releases, they'll be screening daily — head to the cinema's website for details.
