Vampires and werewolves might be the supernatural creatures du jour, but witches are more than just a pop culture fad -- they're part of our history! To celebrate the October 2020 release of "Roald Dahl's The Witches" -- which stars Anne Hathaway in a deliciously diabolical performance as Grand High Witch -- on HBO Max, Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at our all-time favorite pop culture witches. Keep reading to see which other witches have cast their spell in the pop culture world...
![On Feb. 23, the sports and entertainment worlds were stunned upon hearing that Tiger Woods suffered multiple leg injuries that required emergency surgery after he was in a single-car accident near Los Angeles. Local authorities confirmed that the golfer had to be "extracted from the car." Tiger was rushed to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. There, doctors repaired his badly damaged leg with screws, pins and a rod. "Trauma to the muscle and soft-tissue of the leg required surgical release of the covering of the muscles to relieve pressure due to swelling," Tiger's chief medical officer said. He was moved to L.A.'s famed Cedars-Sinai Medical Center a few days later. Following the incident, many in entertainment voiced their support for the five-time Masters champion. His famed former mistress, Rachel Uchitel, was among them. "Obviously hearing the news has shaken me up as it's probably shaken everybody up to see that. Hearing [agent Mark Steinberg] say that he's in surgery for his legs is something that really worries me and when you hear a comment like that you know it's true," she told the New York Post. "He's an athlete and his legs are essential to his sport and to him being who he is and he's already had trouble with his body up until this point. He didn't need any more injuries."](http://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BB1e3gMK.img?h=66&w=88&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&x=1548&y=796 "Awful accident - Phelan M Ebenhack/AP/Shutterstock")
