Max triggers the sprinklers, which he convinces the witches is a "burning rain of death". Before Winnie can retaliate, a black cat attacks her out of nowhere, giving Dani enough time to wake up her dazed brother. However, Allison manages to wallop Mary with a frying pan as Dani hits Winifred and Sara with her candy bag. Held fast by Mary, Dani can only watch as Winifred practices her witchcraft on him, delighted that she hasn't lost her touch at all. Amused, Winifred easily subdues him with her powers. They pick her up and almost succeed in throwing her into their cauldron when Max jumps out of hiding, demanding that they release his sister.
Her powerful nose leads them straight to Dani's hiding place, forcing her out into the open.
The witches are overjoyed at returning home, even more so when Mary declares that she smells children. When the door is thrown open, Dani and Allison hide on either side, and Max ducks down below a table. The house rocks with power as the sisters are revived. When the flame instantly turns jet black, he realized he's made a mistake. Wishing to prove that all the superstitions are just "a bunch of hocus pocus", he impulsively lights it. While there, Max finds the Black Flame Candle, which is rumored to raise the spirits of the dead on Halloween night if lit by a virgin when the moon is full. After some cajoling from Max, they decide to visit it as a special Halloween treat. When Dani expresses interest in the legend of the Sanderson Sisters, Allison reveals that her mother used to run the museum -which used to be the sisters' cottage - about them until it closed due to the spooky things that kept happening there. When he refuses, she gets their parents to force him since they're going to a party and are unable to take Dani themselves.Īs they trick-or-treat, the siblings wind up at Allison's home. On the other hand, his younger sister Dani (Thora Birch) is very excited for the holiday and dresses up as a witch, eager for Max to take her trick-or-treating later. The day isn't improved when he's accosted by two dimwitted school bullies calling themselves Jay and Ice who forcibly steal his shoes. He boldly asks for her number, but she rejects him. He's swiftly put in his place by Allison ( Vinessa Shaw), a popular girl at school Max has a crush on. Skeptical of the local tales of the Sanderson Sisters, he announces to his class that Halloween is merely a conspiracy dreamt up by the candy companies. Three hundred years later, a teenager named Max Dennison (Omri Katz) is unhappy that he was forced to Salem from his hometown of Los Angeles, California. Thackery decides to spend his days close by so no one can resurrect the witches. But before they die, Winifred casts one last spell that on Halloween night when the moon is full, a virgin will summon them back from the dead so that they can claim the lives of all the children in Salem. Just after they transform Thackery, the townspeople - led by his parents - barge into the cottage and capture the sisters, hanging them right then and there. She curses him to live forever in the form of a black cat, doomed to live with the guilt of failing to save his sister for all eternity. Initially, she intends to kill him, but when he calls her a hag, she decides that he needs an even harsher punishment. Rejoicing at their stolen youth, the witches turn their attention to Thackery. Winifred easily subdues him with her powers before she and her sisters drain Emily's life force. Thackery attempts to stop them from giving his little sister the potion, but he's too late. Greying and stooped with age, the witches brew a potion which will enable them to suck the life force out of young children, restoring their own youth and vitality.
The cottage is home of the Sanderson sisters: Winifred ( Bette Midler), Mary ( Kathy Najimy), and Sarah ( Sarah Jessica Parker). Thackery orders Elijah to get the town elders before giving chase, arriving at the witches' cottage just as Emily is led inside. Suddenly, they spot Emily being lured into the woods by an old woman. Instead, he points out a violet plume of smoke rising above the woods: a sign that witches are conjuring. He hurries outside and asks his best friend Elijah if he's seen her, but he hasn't.
In 1693 Salem, Massachusetts, Thackery Binx (Sean Murray) is awakened and notices that his little sister, Emily (Jodie Rivera), is gone.
