We put them in these costumes that were kind of goth-y. That was my premise: What if those witchcraft girls in high school dressed like they were in The Cure? I just had this idea that they should have a punk element. At that point, goth wasnโ€™t really a thing.

[OP's note: it WAS really a thing, just these Hollywood types weren't aware of it.]

cross-posted from: !fullmoviesonyoutube@piefed.social btw they're having a "halloween-a-thon" there fulla seasonal movies, you should check it out!

What if the high-school goth kids REALLY WERE witches? That's the premise of this mid-90s movie that had the same kinda effect on some people as "The Crow". Personally in the early 00s I had a small carefully-curated collection of like 5-6 DVDs that I physically owned, and this was one of them.

Don't get the witches mad at ya!

hashtag Nancy did nothing wrong!

Probably better than this version

That looks like an 80's horror film.

for some reason I have a link to a copy of that free online: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x97sxja I think it was being considered for a monsterdon watch party at some point...

I haven't seen it in 40 years, but it is one of those iconic sort of underground 80s horror films. nowhere near the notoriety or coverage of the slasher films of the late 80s. sort of a different take on the blob. Instead of eating people from the outside in, this goes from the inside out. There are some real, inventive and unique camera shots and special effects in this for the time. Not a ton, but they definitely put a lot of work into it and it isn't just some B movie, despite how bad some of the prosthetics look.
