Trivia: Robin Tunney had to wear a wig during the production of The Craft because she shaved her head for her role in Empire Records.
Trivia: At one point in time in the early 2000's when direct-to-DVD sequels were quite popular, a direct-to-DVD sequel focusing exclusively on Fairuza Balk Nancy was considered, but it was never made.
Trivia: The film features the Love Spit Love cover of the song "How Soon is Now." The very next year, the series "Charmed" premiered, which used the exact same cover of the song as its theme song. The series "Charmed" is also about a group of young witches. (And in fact, several cast and crew members of "The Craft" have alleged that the series "Charmed" was a complete rip-off their movie, and the fact it used the same song is further proof of that).
Trivia: One of two films to co-star Neve Campbell and Skeet Ulrich released in 1996. The other was the trailblazing horror-satire "Scream."
Trivia: Star Fairuza Balk used to visit an occult store to research her role in the film. She fell in love with the store and ended up purchasing it from the owners (who were retiring) during production. (She subsequently sold the store six years later.) This ended up making rumors spiral out of control that she was actually a practicing witch in real life, but she has since clarified that the rumors were not true. She merely finds the subject fascinating.
Trivia: The movie was made with the intention of being aimed towards teenagers and being rated PG-13. However, the ratings board took a rather puritanical approach and slapped it with an R rating due to all of the occult elements. Because the film was so steeped in witchcraft, the director was unable to make any cuts to get the lower rating he and the studio desired.
Trivia: Angelina Jolie was reportedly considered for one of the main characters, but was ultimately not cast.
Trivia: Some strange things happened on set during production. Particularly during the beach ritual scene - every time they'd start filming the scene, the tide would go crazy... and then immediately settle down when the director called "Cut!" A flock of bats also mysteriously appeared and hovered over set. Finally, when Nancy screamed the line "Manon, fill me!", all the power on set went out.
Answer: She doesn't say Trey, she says "Ray is dead." Ray was Nancy's stepfather.

I feel like Ray being dead wasn't a thing people were that upset about though.
