![]() ![]() ![]() There are many "time jokes" as well, having the 17th century sisters "confused" when they experience 20th century life: Blinded by a truck's head lights, they are convinced the sun is rising they frantically avoid stepping on a blacktop driveway when they are told that it is "a black lake of death" unable to find a broomstick, one of the sisters heads for the sky on a Hoover vacuum cleaner. ![]() Bette Midler steals the show when the sisters crash a Halloween party, singing "I Put A Spell On You". It's up to two teenagers and an 8 year old to stop the wicked witches from succeeding with their sinister plan: to lure the town's children to their witch house and "drink" their life-force away from them. The Sanderson Sisters (wonderfully played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy), convicted of witchcraft in Colonial Salem, Massachusetts and put to death some 300 years ago, are brought back to life when "a virgin lights the black candle". The story is an engaging one and will have even grown-ups pay close attention. A traditional "Halloween Ghost Story" turns into a real life adventure for 3 kids who break the spell of the Sanderson Sisters. ![]()
