HBO Max’s recent Halloween offering, “The Witches,” is meant to be a fun romp for kids who are looking for something a bit spookier than your typical children’s film.

Roald Dahl's 1983 children's novel The Witches, the sinister tale of a coven of toeless conjurers who despise youngsters (to them, kids smell like dog poo) and plot to turn them into mice, twice has been made into a movie.
