This thing about Practical Magic maybe not being a Halloween movie...I mean it's about two sisters who are witches, which are a big part of Halloween. Also, listen...if Die Hard can be a Christmas movie because it takes place on Christmas Eve, then Practical Magic can definitely be Halloween movie!

[@leeyaferguson9019]

Yep.

[@katrinaleebaldwin4660]

Plus the last scene takes place during Halloween

[@acidrain92]

Like most other react channels I have a feeling that Ashley's user base is made up by a majority of men. Would make sense why her audience pooh-poohed the idea of watching this movie for Halloween. Speaking as someone who grew up with two women, that idea astounds me, as Practical Magic has ALWAYS been a Halloween staple in my house.

[@PraetorGogarty]

Fun fact: this was (mostly) filmed in Coupeville, WA and my sister was paid $20 to be one of the kids shouting at the sisters in the beginning.

My friend was the kid in the long sleeve striped shirt on the right at 8:53. He's the lead singer in a band called Niantic in LA.

[@k.s.k.7721]

Sandra and Nicole mentioned after filming that the margaritas were real, and full of alcohol, so filming became looser and funnier with each take.

[@LovableFreak80]

I read that somewhere! It was said that Nichole brought some top shelf tequila for the shoot and the four of them got wasted on set!

[@asteven8]

Interesting book tidbit: The woman who goes to the sisters for a spell ("I want him to want me so much he can't stand it") ended up backfiring on the woman because her husband (who had been cheating on her) became obsessive to the point he wouldn't leave her alone. Like follow her everywhere, always wanting to be near her even if she went to the bathroom. Very much a "be careful what you wish for."

[@bryantkeller9278]

LOVE the book so much more! ❤❤

[@BeeWhistler]

Does the book actually make sense? The movie seems like standard chick flick but with witches.

[@bryantkeller9278]

The book totally makes sense and is very different in many, many ways. They definitley did the hollywood treatment to the movie and the book is WAY better.@@BeeWhistler

[@ElisaH_DarklyiShine]

....there's a book

[@loupgarou95]

​@@ElisaH_DarklyiShine There's more than one even. Practical Magic was written first, and there are three others in the series.

[@kateorgera5907]

One of my favorite details about this movie is how, when Sally admits to the other mothers they actually are witches and that Gilly is getting tortured by this guy, all the ladies put aside their previous superstitions and jealousies and misunderstandings aside and go to help out a fellow woman in need. They even all relate to that sometimes supernatural motherly instinct. I truly believe the sisterhood that broke the Owens curse wasn't just between Sally and Gilly but between *all* the women in that room, standing as a coven.

[@LadyGreensleeves33]

Wholeheartedly agree. Especially since Maria was outcasted and abandoned by her community, which definitely contributed to her bitterness and the curse that developed from it.

[@pumpkinlyd4409]

Not what women would do at all.

[@davidnorman4786]

Yes. And I think that it shows that most people (especially in small towns) are ultimately good people. When Sally called for help: they came. Keep that in mind the next time a neighbor needs help.

[@morningcoffeebreak7367]

You've likely seen the aunt..."Diane Weist" in a LOT of movies...Edward Scissorhands, The Birdcage, Independance Day, Footloose, and a whole host of others as well as TV roles in things like Law and Order. She IS a Gloden Globe, Emmy and Oscar winning actor.

This movie is what introduced Goran Visnjic to mass audiences. He is a very handsome man and had mostly acted in his native Croatia (check out "Welcome to Sarajevo" if you want your heart ripped out). A year after this, he joined the cast of ER as Dr. Kovac so we got to watch him regularly for several years. Other than an incredibly good looking guy as the bad guy, I love that this is so much a sisters movie. Never had one.

[@louisef1861]

While I agree that Goran Visnjic is a handsome man, he never did it for me. But Aidan Quinn? Oh my yes.

[@themourningstar338]

Being sisters isn't necessarily a positive or loving experience. My sister is a total narcissistic nightmare. While it was just me (little sister) and her (big sister), I never really had a sister either. So, even though I enjoy this movie, and some other movies/shows involving sisterhood, they always make me sad too.

[@LittleBlueOwl318]

Yes, Nicole is a natural redhead and naturally curly as well. If you want to see her even younger in her first film, watch "BMX Bandits", it's a cute movie and she does a great job.

Silver Star. A star made of silver. Silver is a protection against evil. The sister of Stockard Channing's character, the actress you recognized but couldn't place, that was Diane Wiest.

She plays the mother role in many big 80's films such as "The Lost Boys", "Footloose", Edward Scissorhands" (loved her in that one) and "Parenthood". You have reacted to all of these movies on your channel except for "Parenthood" which I highly recommend in the future.

Not to mention them killing an abusive man and getting away with it! I also like that even though being outcasts for being witches, or being “weird” I guess, the other women came together and supported them. I love it.

The guy's star-shaped badge wasn't acting as a crucifix. The five-pointed star is also known as a pentagram; it is the basic power symbol in many forms of magick, including witchcraft. (And contrary to centuries of propaganda, it's not a symbol of evil. 😁 )

A favorite. I only wish we had more of these two actresses' collaborations. The oddest part is that these two sisters and their family were the targets of taunts and insults. This reminds of me of HOLY GRAIL's witch scene: "How do you know she's a witch?" Well, there are plenty of examples that the townspeople have all scene - and THEY believe. So why would anyone ever taunt a real witch? And if they don't believe they are, then WHY TAUNT with a lie?!! Sheesh... just doesn't make GOOD sense.

[@JeffGes]

And why hasn't Ashleigh's fans voted in BELL BOOK & CANDLE as maybe The Favorite-est Witch Movie?!! Kim Novak ended up surviving VERTIGO and immediately showed off that witchy side in BELL BOOK! AND with another pairing with a still-delusionally confused Jimmy Stewart! With Jack Lemmon... Elsa Lanchester... Ernie Kovaks. AND A KITTY!! Ashleigh - STOP WAITING. Just see this film!

24:24 That's acclaimed charactor-actor Margo Martindale. An American treasure.

Midnight Margaritas! Dianne Weist (one of the aunts) was the mom in Edward Scissorhands and in The Lost Boys.

I LOVE this movie so damn much!! It always reminds me of my mom I miss her so much! She also loved Stevie Nicks and so this movie really just has such a special place in my heart!!! PS I love your Hi yes HELLO!!! Intro!! one of my faves!! Love your reactions!!!!

[@holyfreakinBLEACH]

I unironically love this movie and I can't quite articulate why, it just has such a fun world and the characters are great! (tbh could take or leave the romance plot, it's cute but almost unnecessary lmao) plus sandra and nicole work sooo great together. i would kill to see them as romantic leads in a wlw film. i also just adore magical realism, and the ladies here remind me so much of my maternal family (only 3 boys born in the last 100 yrs, less than 1 per generation)! just a bunch of fun-loving witch-rumored weirdos who can't stay married livin in the middle of nowhere! so relatable! 😂

Great movie. I think the house is one of the major stars of this movie. I heard that they built it on that island, and then had to tear it down after the filming, because of local laws about keeping the island the way it was. 😥

[@itiskismetstitches]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the movie. I sent it to you a while back with a postcard from Salem, MA. I definitely think a midnight margaritas night needs to happen. Air B&B a house in Nashville? LOL

Ashleigh...I would 100 percent watch a live stream of you doing "Midnight Margaritas" with Nattie G, VKunia, and MaryCherry...I would even subscribe to your Twitch to watch the VOD of that. LOL

[@Johnny_Socko]

Me too! Although if it were midnight for Ashleigh, then it would be like "3PM margaritas" for Mary. Then again she probably wouldn't mind that, lol.

[@ladytopcat]

This is one of my all time favorites. I really enjoyed watching you react to this 😊 I think having a girl's night for midnight margaritas would be fantastic! That would be so fun!!!😻

[@windylikethewind7592]

Midnight Margaritas is a vibe!!

[@haexan]

One of my favourite movies to watch around Halloween! Love that you got to see this =D

Nicole Kidman was a redhead in all her early films until she betrayed her kind to be a basic blonde. Should watch Dead Calm.

[@rebeccassweetmusic4632]

A lot of 90s chick flicks had that awesome and badass girl power. Practical Magic was one of them. Also, How To Make An American Quilt came out around the same time. Another great women's empowerment flick

[@itsanniesdi]

The Practical Magic House is my dream life ❤️

[@amygenevalee6393]

This is a must every year for me. Especially with a group of girls drinking those midnight margaritas and some treats.
