"Witches in Popular Fiction"
One of the more popular figures that seemed to symbolize Halloween is the witch. Usually, the witch is someone with green skin, a hooked nose, red-and-white stockings, a black gown and a cone hat. Now that I think about it, the Wicked Witch of the West from "THE WIZARD OF OZ" seemed to perfectly embody this image. But there have been other witches who have appeared in movies and television throughout the years. Below is a gallery featuring some of them:
