I loved the movie Teen Witch- about a nerdy teen girl who discovers she has magical powers with the help of the freaky lady from Poltergeist*- when I was a kid. Robyn Lively (much older sister of Gossip Girl’s Blake) was so pretty and there were many song and dance numbers. Rewatching the film as an adult confirmed my theories that a child’s mind is similar to that of a very stoned adult and that no one tried to hide their cocaine use in the ’80s.
