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 wasnโt really a thing.

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

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.

just for fun, here's the Spanish dub. it's clipped and mirrored so I don't recommend watching it, but it's kinda fun to hear them speak in Spanish: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9k69i0
BONUS FILM: there was a sequel "The Craft: Legacy" made in 2020 that used a whole different set of kids. I've only seen it once and thought it was pretty good. I think this is it, tho the description makes it sound like it's the original: https://archive.org/details/the-craft-legacy-2020-net-naija.com
Don't get the witches mad at ya!
hashtag Nancy did nothing wrong!

Lord of Illusions is super underrated in 80s horror, written and directed by Clive Barker it as good as Nightbreed and Hellraiser but nowhere near as well known as those films.
It is awesome probably my favorite of the three you mentioned, but 1995 though.
Lord of Illusions
Only reason I looked it up was because I forgot how old I was when I saw it. After confirming I turned to dust writing this reply. Farewell.
Ah interesting that its that much later, but I guess it makes sense when I think about the timeline. It feels like an 80s movie though :D
Nightbreed is a fantastic film.
