The Olsen twins are at it again - this time though, they're quite a bit younger (made when Full House was still being aired) - about six - yet still manage to put in okay performances despite their young age.
Here the play sisters (*twin* sisters, even!) who run away from their parents whilst trick-or-treating to help their Aunt Sophia, who is trapped inside a mirror thanks to Sophia's twin sister (who happens to be a witch).
Along the way they meet up with Mr. N(Meshach Taylor) and Oscar(Phil Fondacaro) who come along for the ride in hopes of setting their Aunt Sophia free.
Kids seem to like it, Mary-Kate and Ashley would've been complaining and amusing one-liners throughout to keep adults from falling asleep.

Cute Halloween movie I've watched with my kids for years back in the 90's. If you are looking for a lighthearted movie for fall, you will enjoy this one.
Recently rewatched this since my childhood. As a kid I loved it, but after watching it again, it's concerning. First of all, I have major issues with Mr. N: why did they name a black man "Mr. N" and then turn him into a crow later? And then having the little person live in a little house? And how did those girls' parents not notice for the longest time that their children were missing? This movie is actually kinda creepy and disturbing when you think about it. Do not show this movie to your kids if you don't want them to be subjected to racism in film and terrible characters.
I can't believe the negative reviews for this show! This is for LITTLE kids. My kids loved it (2,4,6 and 8). I like that it isn't too creepy, but it still has some magic, mystery and spells so good fun for Halloween. Sure the Olsen twins are a little annoying, but again it's a KIDS movie. I used to watch it every year. Also there was comment about racism and Mr. N, as a kid I never thought of his name, but as far as him being turned into a crow at the the end it's a Halloween movie. Crows are classic Halloween creatures (think Edgar Allen Poe people), Mr. N is also a bit of a pick pocket and so are crows, it's symbolic. Stop making everything negative. As for the adult actors it's fun to see them get so into character, especially Leachman as the witch!
This was so cute, clever, funny, and fun, it made me ask something I never thought I would ask myself: do I need to watch more Olsen Twin movies???
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie's title and the witches' spell come directly from Macbeth by William Shakespeare.
- GoofsWhen Norman the dog jumps up at Kelly and she falls back against the mirror, causing it to topple over backwards and break, the glass shatters into tiny fragments. But towards the end of the movie, when Lynn and Kelly are sweeping up the remains of the mirror and tipping them into a bucket, the pieces of glass are much larger.
- Quotes
Kelly Farmer: Remember when fairy tales used to keep me awake?
Lynn Farmer: Yeah.
Kelly Farmer: Well, if we get out of this I'll be awake until I'm 21!
