    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The movie's title and the witches' spell come directly from Macbeth by William Shakespeare.
    • Goofs
      When Norman the dog jumps up at Kelly and she falls back against the mirror, causing it to topple over backwards and break, the glass shatters into tiny fragments. But towards the end of the movie, when Lynn and Kelly are sweeping up the remains of the mirror and tipping them into a bucket, the pieces of glass are much larger.
    • Quotes

      Kelly Farmer: Remember when fairy tales used to keep me awake?

      Lynn Farmer: Yeah.

      Kelly Farmer: Well, if we get out of this I'll be awake until I'm 21!

    You can skip this one for your children

    Recently rewatched this since my childhood. As a kid I loved it, but after watching it again, it's concerning. First of all, I have major issues with Mr. N: why did they name a black man "Mr. N" and then turn him into a crow later? And then having the little person live in a little house? And how did those girls' parents not notice for the longest time that their children were missing? This movie is actually kinda creepy and disturbing when you think about it. Do not show this movie to your kids if you don't want them to be subjected to racism in film and terrible characters.
