Sally and Gillian Owens, born into a magical family, have mostly avoided witchcraft themselves. But when Gillian's vicious boyfriend, Jimmy Angelov, dies unexpectedly, the Owens sisters give themselves a crash course in hard magic. With policeman Gary Hallet growing suspicious, the girls struggle to resurrect Angelov -- and unwittingly inject his corpse with an evil spirit that threatens to end their family line.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film bombed in 1998 but became a cult classic through endless cable reruns and Tumblr's witch aesthetic revival. Sometimes magic takes time.
The iconic midnight margaritas scene was almost cut for time. The cast reportedly got genuinely tipsy filming multiple takes.
