TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Robin Tunney wore an auburn wig throughout filming because she shaved her head for her role in "Empire Records (1995)," which wrapped up a month before production started on this film.

While researching The Craft, Fairuza Balk became familiar with Panpipes Magickal Marketplace in Hollywood, eventually buying the store and continuing to operate it until 2001 when she sold it to Jymie Darling and Vicky Adams, whom she had brought in as managers after her own purchase in 1995.

Andrew Fleming states in the DVD commentary that a PG-13 rating was sought. They followed all of the guidelines to earn that rating, but in the final outcome the film was rated R because the film dealt with teenage girls using witchcraft.

An official website of the film said: "The crew had to return to the location a second time to complete filming interrupted by several weird occurrences that even caused witch consultant Pat Devin to raise an eyebrow. As the fog rolled in at midnight, the four actresses used actual Wiccan rites and language to invoke powerful forces. Then, as Fairuza Balk's character Nancy attempts to invoke the deity Manon, a flock of bats hovered over the set and the tide rose dramatically, extinguishing the circle of candles. Witchcraft consultant Devin recalls that "Manon, a fictitious creation for the film, sounds very close to Mananan, the Gaelic god of the sea. Luckily, we weren't all swept to sea!'" Director Andrew Fleming is quoted: "'Every time the girls started the ceremony, and only when they would start the ceremony, the waves would start coming up tremendously fast, pounding heavily. Then, right when Nancy says her line, "Manon, fill me," right at that exact moment, we lost power. It was a very strange thing.'"

One scene involved using over 3,000 snakes, including pythons, boas, water snakes, garter snakes, rat snakes, a 10-foot Amazon constrictor, and even rare albino snakes.

Popular Dialogues

"Driver: Girls watch out for the weirdos. Nancy: We are the weirdos, mister."

"Bonnie: We were just wondering; do you still have any powers? Rochelle: 'Cause we don't. [Bonnie shots her a look] Rochelle: Sorry. Sarah: So, if you ever just want to hang out and chant or call the corners... Sarah: [scathing] Maybe. Hold your breath until I call. [Turns away] Rochelle: [as she and Bonnie start walking away] She probably doesn't have any powers anyway. Sarah: [Turns around with a look of concentration. Wind blows, clouds cover the sky. Lightening flashes; a bolt hitting a tree branch which falls close to Bonnie and Rochelle. They stumble to the ground to avoid it, and the sky returns to normal. Sarah stares at them with a hard expression] Be careful. You don't want to end up like Nancy."
