The Witches
A clever orphan and his fearless grandma must outwit a coven of glamorous yet deadly witches gathering at a seaside resort, or risk the world falling under the Grand High Witch’s sinister spell.
“Witches are real!”
Synopsis
In late 1967, a young orphaned boy moves to live with his grandmother in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis. As the boy and his grandmother encounter some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, she wisely takes him to a seaside resort. Unfortunately, they arrive at the same time that the world's Grand High Witch has gathered.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 28
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
