Trivia
Rosie O'Donnell was originally offered the role of Mary Sanderson, but it was ultimately given to Kathy Najimy. O'Donnell claims on her blog that she turned down the offer to work with the Divine Miss M (Bette Midler) because she didn't want to be a "scary witch". See more »Goofs
The Sanderson sisters often refer to cooking with margarine. They died (for the first time) in 1693. Margarine wasn't invented until the 1800s and wouldn't be available as a butter substitute until 1869. See more »Quotes

I Put a Spell on YouWritten by Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Produced and Arranged by Marc Shaiman
See more »
This movie is funny, scary, but warm and human all at once. It emphasizes the value of families working together to help each other and does not create confusing messages about good and evil. It's a fast-paced comedy that does not trivialize the characters. Bette Midler's rendition of "I've Put a Spell on You" shows the depth of her talent as a singer/stage performer. The divine Ms. Bette has great chemistry with both Kathy Naijimy (how does she get her mouth to do that?), and Sarah Jessica Parker (amok, amok, amok). While the scary factor with corpses and death may not be appropriate for very small children, the movie is lots of fun for the whole family.
