This genre of witch embodies a new modern style. They are wearing the traditional black style that witches have been seen in for years however the outfits always have an element of sex appeal in them, this either from the use of black lace or leather. The witches in this tv series do not like to go unnoticed, which is the opposite to what most dramas that contain a witch are like.
'The Witches of East End'.
The witches in this series look very different to that of the witches in American Horror Story. This could be because this drama is not horror, therefore the clothing is much more standard in the fact that it looks like what most teenage girls and women wear. The makeup looks more demure and natural, however the styling of the setting looks a little spooky.
Sleepy Hollow
This I feel represents what the traditional witch looked like. For example you can see that the characters are wearing cloaks and the clothing looks overall more 'gothic' with the large square belt (this reminds me of a typical childs halloween costume), the corset and the long skirt. The styling in terms of makeup is again what I expected to see (darker eyes and lips).
Into the woods
Again I think this seems to embody what witches are stereotypically supposed to look like. For example the character is old, her hair is grey, long and straggly and she is wearing all black. Her nails are very long and the way that she has been positioned in this photograph is quite bent and therefore spooky. Furthermore this version of a witch has a pointier nose and chin, again a stereotype of witches.
