I'm afraid there's nothing listed for this title. Add something here!
Plot hole: The spell Magicae Maxima works, but it shouldn't have worked at all because there was one ingredient missing, the petrified spider.
Suggested correction: The spell works because Winifred believes it is a petrified spider. It also works because she believes that Billy Butcherson was her lover; which he wasn't, as stated several times in the movie: in the flashback scene, Billy mentions it several times to Gilbert, and especially when Sarah tells Winifred that Billy was her (Sarah's) lover, to which Winifred replies that Sarah was just a fling; so the spell can work with incorrect material as long as Winifred, as the main witch, believes it.
Mary Sanderson: Boo.
Trivia: The first film was a huge disappointment at the box office and got mediocre reviews. However, it grew a massive following over the years thanks to positive word-of-mouth and yearly airings on TV around Halloween. To this day, its home-video and streaming sales have a huge spike almost every October. When star Bette Midler (who loved making the original) learned about its cult success, she began to pester Disney to make a sequel, and they finally greenlit it nearly 30 years later.
