"American Witch" was the second promotional single from Educated Horses, Rob Zombie's third solo album, released in 2006, and it digs into the Salem witch trials of 1692 and the killings that came with them. Zombie wrote the words and sings them, and he built the music with John 5 and Scott Humphrey, who produced it with him and mixed it.
The video strings together live footage shot in Corpus Christi, Denver, Salt Lake City and Mesa, and David Hartman made an animated version as well; both later landed on the bonus DVD packaged with The Best of Rob Zombie. The song also rolled onto the soundtrack of NFL Street 3, EA Sports Big's 2006 football game.
