PLOT:

In the year 1693, three sisters, Winifred, Mary and Sarah were executed for their practicing witchcraft, but not before their living book of spells revealed to them an infernal resurrection ritual. 300 years later, teenager Max Dennison is a newcomer to Salem, struggling to adjust after growing up in California. Now, he must spend the evening escorting his younger sister, door to door for trick or treating while their parents enjoy the town Halloween dance. Max's efforts to impress a girl lead him to inadvertently complete the forgotten spell. From there on out, it's a non-stop, fun-filled chase as the witches pursue the children, determined to perform their spells before sunrise or else the witches will be gone forever. Max, Dani, and Allison work together to outrun, outwit, and outlast the evil trio and their magical arsenal, with the fate of all the children of Salem hanging in the balance.
