Witch Filter: Flying Witch on a Broomstick
A witch filter turns a photo of you into a Halloween witch, and this October's favourite version puts you on a broomstick in front of a huge full moon. On TikTok it spread through CapCut AI templates that turn one photo into a flying-witch clip, alongside a 2D witch animation set to Róisín Murphy's "Ramalama (Bang Bang)". People search for a witch filter they can use online, for free or in an app, before Halloween on Saturday, October 31, 2026.

What does Witch Filter: Flying Witch on a Broomstick mean?
A witch filter is a Halloween costume you don't have to buy. You give it a selfie and get yourself back in a pointed hat, as a picture or a short clip, ready to post or to send to the group chat as your costume for the 31st.
The broomstick version is the one going around this year: you sit side-saddle on a broom, a carved pumpkin glowing in one hand, flying across a full moon with bats around you and a spooky castle far below. Some versions are drawn like an animated film, some look like a fantasy movie, and some end with the rider crashing.
Why did Witch Filter: Flying Witch on a Broomstick take off?
The witch is the easiest Halloween costume to read: hat, broom, moon, done. A witch filter adds the part a costume can't: flying. It also takes one photo and no outfit, which is why it peaks in the last days before Halloween, when people still haven't decided what to be.
The tools made it easy this year. CapCut AI templates let anyone drop in one photo and get the whole flying scene back, and creators post their own templates with a link, so each post invites the next one. For people who'd rather type, Halloween prompt guides for Gemini and ChatGPT include a witch and a line that keeps your face unchanged.
Where did Witch Filter: Flying Witch on a Broomstick come from?
Witch effects on phones are not new. In October 2019, Digital Trends en Español listed "Witch" and "Witch Dance" among TikTok's most popular Halloween effects.
The broomstick wave of October 2026 has two strands. One is a 2D animation: per videosi.io, its earliest post went up on October 1, 2026, by the animator POHOYOKO. A small witch silhouette crosses the moon, then a hard cut shows the rider posing on each beat of "Ramalama (Bang Bang)". A CapCut template followed on October 11, and its sequel showed about 207,000 uses on October 26, per the same page.
The other strand is AI: one photo turned into a clip of you flying on a broom, mostly through CapCut AI templates, per Miraflow's October 22 guide, which also describes a "My Ride Is Here" version and clips that end in a crash. On YouTube Shorts, ILGIZA posted AI-made witches flying over the treetops on October 16 (17,932 views on October 29), and creator bree nuggs shared her own CapCut witch template, a witch riding past a full moon, on October 24.

Popular versions of Witch Filter: Flying Witch on a Broomstick
The 3D cartoon witch
A glossy animated-film witch rides side-saddle across a giant moon, with a pumpkin lantern, bats and a castle below. CapCut tutorials in English and Spanish show how to swap your own photo into this look; one Spanish one, posted October 29, promises the "Halloween witch queen" from a single photo.
The Ramalama witch animation
A 2D witch on a broom crosses the moon and a lit skyscraper, then strikes a new pose on every beat of Róisín Murphy's 2005 song "Ramalama (Bang Bang)", per videosi.io. Remakes swap in Roblox avatars and cosplayers.
The broom crash
The rider takes off and it goes wrong: Miraflow describes AI broom clips that end in a crash, including a version where the rider flies into a sign.
The prompt version
No template: you upload a photo to an image model and describe the witch. Gaurav Tiwari's October 3, 2026 list of Halloween prompts includes a witch in a misty pumpkin patch holding a straw broom, with a line asking the AI to keep your face exactly the same.

Questions about Witch Filter: Flying Witch on a Broomstick
What is the witch filter trend?
It's turning a photo of yourself into a Halloween witch. This October's favourite witch filter flies you on a broomstick across a full moon, with a pointed hat, striped stockings and a glowing pumpkin, as a picture or a short clip.
Is there a witch filter online for free?
CapCut templates open from TikTok posts, and image models such as Gemini can restyle your photo from a witch prompt. Ours isn't free: a witch picture costs 5 credits and a 12-second video 10 credits (credits start at $9.99 for 30), and a render that fails is refunded.
Which app has the witch filter?
On TikTok, most broom rides this year are made with CapCut templates: you open a template from a post, add your photo and export. TikTok itself had Witch and Witch Dance effects as far back as 2019. Ours works in the browser, no app needed.
Can I use the witch filter on my own photo?
Yes. Upload one clear photo of yourself and the witch filter keeps your face, hair and skin tone, so friends know it's you. Use only your own photo, or one of a friend who said yes.
How do I make the witch on a broomstick video?
Pick a broom template in CapCut, or use ours: add one photo, choose video, and in a few minutes you get a 12-second clip. A swirl of magic reveals you flying across the moon, and you end with a smile and a wink at the camera.
What song is used for the witch broom trend?
The animated witch that poses on every beat runs on "Ramalama (Bang Bang)" by Róisín Murphy, released in 2005, per videosi.io. The AI broom rides use all sorts of spooky sounds. Our video comes with an original instrumental, not that song.
What prompt works for an AI witch photo?
Name the costume, the place and the light: a black pointed hat, striped stockings, a broomstick, a full moon, bats and fog. Then add a line asking the AI to keep your face, features, skin tone and hair exactly as in the photo, as prompt guides recommend.
Does the witch filter work for men?
Yes. The costume is the same pointed hat, black dress and striped stockings for everyone, so a man gets a witch costume too, which is half the fun. Glasses and beards stay as they are in the photo.
