** The 2000 RSC production presented them as extremely creepy, semi-feral, homeless young women, possibly junkies, scurrying around like rats and spooking the crap out of Macbeth and Macduff.

* Bearded hags, apparitions of creepy, dancing children, potions brewed from dismembered animal and [[HumanResources people]] parts, murder, madness and general mayhem. Fun for the whole family. The Patrick Stewart telefilm version makes it worse. The witches murdering the captain from the beginning of the play, Banquo getting right back up after his murder, the witches using corpses to give Macbeth the infamous Birnam Wood prophecy... Goddamn.
* While you're at it, try scaring your kids with the [[WesternAnimation/ShakespeareTheAnimatedTales creepy animated film]] by the Russian studio {{Creator/Soyuzmultfilm}}. Everything about it is enough to do the job: bleak, desolate backgrounds; disturbing character designs (the witches themselves are bizarre); a gloomy colour palette, and plenty of surreal sequences. It ''perfectly'' captures the tone that Shakespeare was going for.
* The Witches tend to be creepy, but the Creator/PatrickStewart version ''really'' takes the cake; this adaptation really drives home the idea that the Witches are full on {{Humanoid Abomination}}s, appearing as a trio of nurses who move in near perfect synchronization, have a tendency to appear almost at random and slip into scenes undetected and have a [[VillainSong truly menacing version]] of their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WNicucFsYE infamous incantation]].

* From the original play, the scene just after Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have assassinated King Duncan.
