I'd be scared of that witch too! Here are some villainess suggestions:
Sue Ann Stepenek-Pretty Poison, nobody does bad as good as Tuesday Weld.
Rhoda Penmark-The Bad Seed-new meaning to the phrase 'bad kid'

Ursula from The Little Mermaid and Professor Umbridge from Harry Potter!

Shudder.

Thanks! I want to play........here are a couple of my most feared Disney movie villains when I was a child -- other than the other Cruella of course, the queen "witch" of all

Queen of Hearts - Alice in Wonderland
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_Hearts_(Alice's_Adventures_in_Wonderland)

Madame Medusa - The Rescuers
this character scared me soooo much when I was little. I loved this movie and I suppose I loved to hate Madame Medusa!!

What about the Sanderson Sisters from "Hocus Pocus"? Witchy sisters who sing in three-part harmony?! Terrifying!

You have *three* sisters? Lucky!

How about Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest. Nothing more villainous than a mean mother.

kathy bates character in misery is pretty villian-y :]

Nurse Mildred Ratched.

The Other Mother from Coraline.

female villains are always so much more scary than their male counterparts.
