‘Return of the Witches’: The cast says the film’s original script was much more terrifying

This September 30th Disney + premiered “The Return of the Witches 2″again with Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy as the Sanderson sisters. The “Return of the Witches” sequel has already become the most watched film in the history of the platform, as well as breaking the Nielsen record for a movie streamed over the opening weekend with 2.7 billion minutes watched. In an interview for EW, the cast of the original film confessed that the draft was thinking of a far more terrifying film, and not as familiar and comical as it turned out.

Vinessa Shaw, who plays Allison, the 1993 title girl, says: “I remember reading an original draft which was much scarier, and it was the draft we auditioned with. When we started recording, it became a much lighter and more fun version.. She had the feminine element of “The Three Stooges” (a well-known group of American comedians) and all the choreography that was added was created for a much more comedic film highlighting the strengths of her actresses. I think that’s why the film is so loved. Of course the witches and what they are doing, sucking the lives of children, is scary, but the fact that it is done in a comical way is acceptable.”.

Omri Katz was tasked with playing Max, another of the children from the original film. “Once they got an idea of ​​who they wanted to play, I’m sure they did their part too and created a more fun, family-friendly, happier and not-so-sinister film. It was a different approach … I don’t remember there were so many lines or lines”thus confirming that the original script was much more “scary”.

Also, surprisingly, the actor admits that in several scenes of the film he was under the influence of drugs.which perhaps made filming seem a lot more fun than it already was.
