Day 10 of my Halloween film fest. This has to be, hands down, my all-time favorite horror comedy. And this one only Disney could have pulled off! Where can you go wrong: Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy.
Director, Kenny Ortega along with writers, Mick Garris & Neil Cuthbert, have created a horror comedy classic for the ages in true Disney fashion. I'm sure that if Walt Disney were still alive he would have loved this film!
The basic story, if you happen to be one of the rare few that haven't seen this gem, is about three witches who upon trying to drain the life of Salem's children are caught and brought to justice and hung for their crimes, but not before Winifred Sanderson, the eldest sister, places a curse upon Salem that one night they would be brought back to life to get their revenge. Well they get their chance, and hilarious mayhem ensues!
There is not one weak performance in this wonderfully fun film from beginning to end! I always have to sit down and watch this classic every Halloween! It combines all that is great about the classic horror genre, witchcraft, full moons, black cats, zombies but at the same time pure Disney comedy magic combined in with it all!
Do yourself a favor and revisit this wonderful Disney classic!
