I was a Mary Kate & Ashley girl in a big way. I just got 19 of their movies on VHS and DVD, and I started with this one because, duh, it's October. I hooked up my VCR, popped in the tape, and started on my journey. There was about a half hour where it did those black and white lines that warp the picture and make the sound skip. Super annoying but dang it took me back. When it was over, I rewound the tape, because I'm not a monster.
Thoughts on the actual movie? It holds up better than Halloweentown but not as well as Hocus Pocus. It's a made for TV movie though so the bar is lower. It's funny in a Michelle Tanner one-liner way. 10/10 for Halloween festivity. The villain is a witch who has a gravedigger like rich people have a gardener, and no one even thinks that's weird.
Double, Double, Toil and Trouble
A witch's brew of family fun!
