As always I do not claim ownership of any of the clips used in this first time watch
Fun fact: Rachel True and Farrah Balczak were legitimately interested in the occult when this came out, and True is a legitimate tarot practitioner, I LOVE THIS FACT IT’S SO COOL 😎
Fairuza Balk. But yeah, nifty fun fact. 😁
Fairuza owned an occult shop for some time, as well.
That doesn't shock me about Fairuza Balk. She was made for this movie.
@@deano42 Damned Autocorrect 😂🤣
@@chelseacuzzocrea6956 🤣
I would have to say ‘no’ to the question if “light as a feather, stiff as a board” was originated by this movie. I remember (unsuccessfully) playing that dumb game at summer camp in the mid-‘80s, and even then we knew it to be something that’d been around for a long time. I’d be willing to bet it’s hundreds of years old.
I remember playing it at sleepovers in the eighties. Girls always swore they felt the girl start to float just like when people say they’re not moving the thing on the ouiji board. lol
it's actually quite old, late 1600s maybe? in Bordeaux, France is the earliest known description.
Tim Keller - I could believe that.
This was usually done either just before or just after trying to freak each other out with the tale of Bloody Mary. 😂😂😂
Good times.
Did it in the 70’s
The crazy thing is hearing about the spell and the fact that they didn't use CGI for that Snake/bug scene, ugh They really did have all those creatures there. i couldn't be an actress on this movie. lol
and yes that's Skeet Ulrich from Scream, Jericho, Riverdale.
Yup!! My mind was blownnnnn. But when Nancy has the bugs on her hands they had the bugs on a green screen cast of her hand and then they CGI'd them onto her in post. I would've quit the movie if I had to have those on me...
Jesus fuck river dale they destroyed archies
He was also in a small show called Miracles. It was really good.😇
Jericho was so good ❤️
Fairuza Balk starred as Dorothy in the 1985 "Return to Oz" which is way darker than the 1939 film.
Such a great movie I loved The original Wizard of Oz but Return is my favorite!!
I love that movie. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👌🏼
Oh crap, The Craft is nostalgic? Then I am too damn old!!
Love your reaction.
Chris totally didn't deserve that. he was a prick, but he didn't deserve to die.
"how soon is now" plays at one point in the movie. it's also used as the theme for Charmed.
3 fun facts about this movie - Fairuza actually bought the magic shop that was in this movie; she still owns it to this day. "Fairuza" is Farsi for "Turquoise"; supposedly she was named by her father who, upon first seeing her after being born, said "fairuza" when he saw the color of her eyes. Last fact - I've had a thing for Fairuza ever since I saw "the craft" as a teenager back around '97 or so.
To answer some of your questions, to be assigned as Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, it depends on your Zodiac sign. Like Taurus is Earth, Leo is Fire, Libra is Air, Cancer is Water, etc, etc. And with invoking the Spirit, it depends on what you are using it for, just like the store lady said “She takes it to a dark place.” Invoking the Spirit can be used for good if the intentions are good and it can be bad if the intentions are bad. If the intention is bad and the person abuses it, it can backfire or like they said “You get it back times three”. Karma’s a bitch lol
omggg thanks for answering my questions this is all the coolest!! and thanks for watching!!
@@ShanelleRiccio Of course! I look forward to more content 🙃
@@BlackavarWD I think it depends on intent. If every evil person got a bad repercussion, almost no one would ever do it
Funny you should ask who gets to stand in which position during the ritual. There's actually a deep symbolic foreshadowing involved in the placement.
Most of Nancy's scenes show her standing near fire, while most of Sarah's scenes have her surrounded by plants and rocks, implying that Sarah is an "earth" spirit, and Nancy is a "fire" spirit. But when they actually perform the invocation, Nancy is standing in the north position, traditionally associated with earth, not fire. It subtly hints that Nancy is taking on a role that was meant for Sarah.
oh cool!! that's a layer I would've never known or even picked up on! thanks for writing :)
I'd say those placements were more likely done for the sake of lighting.
9:41 The woman from the shop did say that Nancy took it to a dark place. Sarah don't forget is a natural witch, daughter of a natural witch.
I remember That Technically The Craft follows all the rules for a PG13 Film, but was made R because it focus on Teenagers and Witchcraft.
Driver: "You girls watch out for those weirdos."
Nancy: "We are the weirdos, mister."
Another great Fairuza Balk film is "Things to do in Denver when you're dead."
Denver is an awesome film altogether. Bit too inspired by Pulp Fiction , but still great.
After the making of this movie, Fairuza Balk bought into part ownership of a spiritual occult shop. It is was small shop on Wilcox just south of Hollywood blvd. ME and my friend had been in there a couple of times.
This movie helped inspired the 1998 Aaron Spelling show, "Charmed." ✌❤🌹
very cool! I want to visit that shop!! Some say Charmed is a rip off of this movie... not so versed on Charmed so I have no idea how much they took
@@ShanelleRiccio ...they charged, "Charmed", enough to be original. But you can tell that witches were inspired by it. Since Covid-19, not sure if it is still there. ✌❤🌹
You mentioned liking Teen Girl Mean Girl High School type movies, you should check out Heathers with Winona Ryder.
Yes! Heathers is iconic.
classic
I had such a crush on Fairuza Balk for years after this movie
This is my favorite movie lol! Great reaction. I really recommend 'Heathers' with Winona Ryder, or Frailty with Matthew McConaughey.
Heathers, Jawbreaker and Fear (mark walburg) are some good, creepy teen movies. The Faculty as well.
I loved Heathers when I saw it maybe like 5-6 years ago, I've never seen Frailty! I'll write these down even if I don't get to them in October :)
It can be spooky movie time any month of the year lololol
@@ShanelleRiccio frailty is awesome. It's Bill Paxtons directorial debut. Very underrated.
@Shanelle Riccio If you're going to watch a McConaughey movie from back in the day, I highly recommend Dazed and Confused! Also stars Jason London, Ben Affleck, and Parker Posey. Fantastic movie!
Light as a feather, stiff as a board is way older than this movie bc I played it as a little little kid, and this came out when I was in HS... so you know me and my friends were trying to figure out which one of them we were! And saying Bloody Mary 3x in the mirror. I was a weirdo... still am!
omg we did Bloody Mary too!! I loved this movie I can't believe I hadn't seen!
I was a child in the 60s & we also played 'light as a feather, stiff as a board', and we learned it from the older kids... I think it's been around a very, very long time!
When the going gets weird, the weird get going. My cousin would lock me in the bathroom when we played Bloody Mary, so it wasn't that fun for me. We used ouija boards several times when were 12 though and it got weird.
Hmm - Brittany Murphy woulda killed this (Nancy) role? Maybe I'm naive, but I felt that Fairuza Balk kinda killed it. In fact, I thought that Fairuza carried the whole goddamned film; without her, it would've been a VOID. Robin Tunney and Neve Campbell really didn't add anything to the movie and poor Rachel True - although good - just wasn't offered enough of the script to fully exploit her acting chops.
Nope - I think the dial-ins shoulda given Fairuza a hefty slice of their paychecks - she was the STAR+++
For a high school movie you have to watch “Dazed and Confused” it’s a classic.
There is an outstanding documentary behind the making of Dazed and Confused. All the actors said they had the times of their lives and it showed in the movie. Love that film.
I always say that is literally the most realistic movie I've ever seen.
You should watch The Faculty with Josh Hartnett and Froto
oooooo okay okay added to my imdb watchlist! Thanks so much for watching :):)
What’s Frodo
Faculty yass
@El Vato If you mean the SE Hinton book made film That Was Then This Is now, must watch The Outsiders first lol! Since the books are set in the same town and have characters in common and The Outsiders came first chronologically.
Lol! You just rewatched that yesterday! Fun movie.
Shanelle I absolutely loved this movie when I saw it, I was just out of high school. I loved the soundtrack! Matthew Sweet, "Dark Secret" is a stand out. Love spit loves cover of The Smiths "How Soon is Now" is also one of my favourites. Letters to Cleo, "Dangerous Type" plays when the ladies are walking down the hallway.
Because you like supernatural movies and yes i know, i already suggested a Christmas movie 😉, but if you want to see a spooky one?!
Then i suggest to watch one of the ultimate Christmas movies Scrooged (1988)!
Scrooged is a comedy by director Richard Donner. It is a modern adaptation of Charles Dickens' book A Christmas Carol. Scrooged was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Make-up and Saturn Awards for Best Fantasy Film, Best Actor, and Best Special Effects
🤣🥰👌
Coming up for the Christmas lineup! I'd say another week or so :):)
There's a sequel to this, "The Craft Legacy" It was suppose to be in the theatres, but covid sent it directly to streaming on demand.
Would I hang out with witches? I WOULD hang out with Fairuza Balk, no matter how scary.
I am one of the witch's lol Team Air Love this movie. Another Great movie Fairuza Balk is in is Return to Oz and American History X. The Actress that played Sarah is in a very 90s cult classic Empire Records is a must watch!!
The Ticonderoga pencil is the only pencil I acknowledged in grade school because those were the only pencil's where the eraser worked. Back in the day when CSAP/TCAP was a thing, if you didn't get that pencil, good luck because it's about to be even more depressing than taking the test XDDD
Love this movie. I'd hang out with them XD
The BEST eraser!! So smoooooothhhhhhh and thanks for watching!
Fun fact, after Scream became popular, the cover of this movie was changed to feature Neve Campbell's name more prominently, even though she wasn't really the "star" of this movie.
Fun fact Robin Tunney's hair for this movie was a wig because she shaved her head for Empire Records before filming The Craft.
5:33 According to Google - The oldest known account of levitation play comes from the diary of Samuel Pepys (1633-1703), a British naval administrator.
Someone might have already weighed in, but I'm a pagan so here goes, Nancy was full of darkness, rage and a hunger for power for powers sake, that is why the power she gained was so twisted...
Not sure if you were aware but all the spells they did were authentic. Or, some were close enough that it didn't harm anyone. Found that part out from the DVD extra that's why there was a witch consultant on set. Because the writers and director wanted it to be as close to the real thing even if they had to modify some spells. Love your channel and glad I found you
I've always looooved this movie. Even though I was probably a little too young for it, I watched it back when it was first released on VHS(!) and I've watched it probably most Halloweens since then on VHS, DVD and blu-ray. There was something so cool about it, and it had this eeriness to it that wasn't too much, but also not so little that it was boring or cheesy. It might feel a little dated now, but it's totally a classic '90s movie. Perfect for October viewings. It gives me the same kinda vibe as the first Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer etc.
Would I hang out with those kinda girls? I did 😆 I was very much in that kinda circle (pun thoroughly intended) for several years. Never did anything quite as drastic as Nancy though, I swear!
6:24 - You're actually right, that *is* glue. It's the adhesive from the scar tissue prosthetic. Apparently it was very painful for Neve to wear. She couldn't even fully enjoy it when it was removed each time though, since the glue removal process hurt so much as well.
I just discovered your channel today btw, so I've been binge-watching your videos. I really like your reactions. It's really enjoyable to see someone thinking through the movies their watching, analysing them a bit and giving their opinions. Not very many reaction channels do that. I like how you are truthful about how much you've seen a movie before too. Some other people out there aren't quite so honest and do reactions just to get views 😆 I like how you look up trivia afterwards too! That's what I do after every movie I watch. You've thoroughly earned a sub from me!
I saw this once on TV! I liked the premise and the girl with the lips, but ultimately I felt the plot was a bit scatty and it lacked emotional impact. I would probably prefer it to be less of a teen movie and more of a horror movie.
There was a soft reboot called Craft Legacy released in 2020, but only the character of Nancy returned.
If you wanna have a good laught, watch The Witches of Eastwick, it's a 1987 dark fantasy-comedy with a golden cast, but no teenagers! 😉👌
You'll definitely love it. ✌
Do you know any eighties movies?!
And have you ever seen The Breakfast Club (1985), it's a classic and the ultimate High School movie! 🥰
Ohhh I LOVE the cheese of an 80s movie. I should find a really good one for the channel that I’ve never seen!! And I’ll totally look into the Witches of Eastwick. I kind of ran out of days in October for Halloween themed movies but at this rate i just want to see good stuff :) thanks for watching!!
Oh my gosh . . . The Witches of Eastwick is such nostalgia for me!
OMG, I had the biggest crush on Fairuza Balk. She _definitely_ holds up! 😍
I've never related to someone so much until your 2 sec pencil rant. 😆
EVERYONE knows Ticonderoga is the superior pencil 😂😂
Ok, I have to do that thing where you comment in the middle of watching...
I'm almost 60 and "light as a feather, stiff as a board" was being played by my sisters when I was young.
...back to our show.
I love the middle of the video comment-- haha thats why I pump so many questions into my vids 😂 I appreciate you for caring enough to write back!! haha
Malcolm Drake Yeah, I remember that being a thing in the 70’s, long before this movie was made.
Love how you fat shame all the older TVs.
“Would you hang out with the witches?” Haha, honey, I WAS the witch!
Light as a feather stuff as a board is a real game. I'm 62 and I played it with my older sister when I was a boy. Maybe 20 years before this movie came out.
My cat Mr. Frodo and I play a version of Light as a Feather. He will be curled up in sleeping circle thing cats like to do and I will start chanting "light as a feather stiff as a board" as slide my hands under him, he knows to get rigid and not move and I'll lift him up and move him around while he stays perfectly in the same curled position :)
I was 16 when this movie came out and as a 90s Goth teen it is a huge part of my style. The movie is a whole vibe... I saw it at the theater with my HS sweetheart- it was our first date. I have a shirt I bought at Hot Topic after the remake (which I didn't bother watching, ftr), it says "We are the weirdos, mister", which pretty much summed up my teen life.
Light as a feather, stiff as a board was popular well before this movie. All my friends and I did it from my first sleepovers- which would be around 88-93. I think this was just a reflection of what all of us Gothy kids were already doing. It was *made* for us, this movie and Type O Negative, lol. *And Interview with a Vampire! Which I'm going to go see if you've reviewed now, lol. If not- need.
Nancy was always evil, definitely.
The craft is literally my childhood. Born in 96 rented on vhs at 6 . Watched it over 100 times by the time I was 7.
Oh man what I wouldn't give to rent a movie again!! I used to check out Casper Meets Wendy like every single time... I'm sad I only just saw this one, its so great!! Thanks for coming by my channel!! :)
It's Shanell number five! You hate me now, for making that joke. ehem.
Hi you popped up in my feed and I love your channel so I had to sub!! Great edits, fun dialogue, and you are total qt!
aw thanks so much for coming by and watching, hoping to keep you entertained! :)
This was one of my favourite "witch" films, and as a thirty-plus year veteran neopagan, I appreciated it as one of the more accurate portrayals of Wicca practice. "The Witches of Eastwick," "Practical Magic," "Warlock," "The Covenant," and "Hocus Pocus," were other favourites. Also, "Suspiria" and "The Wicker Man" (1973) are worth a watch.
"Light as a feather, stiff as a board," is older than this film, but was popularized by it.
If you like Fairuza Balk, my favourite role of hers was in "The Island of Dr. Moreau."
Still holds up today. Great cast and great film.
If you're looking for more really great '90s films, I highly recommend "Go." Really clever script, wonderful performances, great storytelling.
I think Doug Liman directed that, he also directed Edge of Tomorrow. Go is such a classic too, captures that time in the 90s so completely.
The soundtrack for this was awesome.
“Light as a feather stiff as a board” we did it middle school which would have been 1983 or 1984 for me. Except we had a 350 pound janitor sitting in a chair on lunch break. Still kind of freaky.
If you like high school movies, you should check out *Three O'Clock High.* Little-known but downright brilliant 80's flick that often gets overlooked.
saw that a million times while I was in jr. high and high school.
I got to see this movie on opening day when I was a senior in high school. I went with three of my friends.
I did this when I was 8 and now I am 45 so I think it's been a thing a lot longer than the film.
Yup lol, not only did she play Marsha Brady, she’s also somehow married to Ben Stiller 😂
Have you reacted to Lost Boys or Hocus Pocus? Think maybe both 90’s movies but movies you would enjoy if haven’t seen. All the best from England
I just found your channel because I grew up in this era of movies. I wanted to thumbs up your video but it's at 666 and I cant bring myself to do it lol. Sub'd though!
No one recognized Breckin Meyer as one of the bros named Mitt?
Have you seen the Sixth Sense? If not then you should and yes this movie is amazing with everything it does. The actress of Nancy was actually a Wicka herself and when they came to cast her in the movie she had her own magic shop as well.
Pencil comment made me laugh - I agree - but I prefer the black not the yellow. My Daughters keep stealing them.
1st off, I had Heart Palpitations, Soon as I heard #2 Ticonderoga Pencil , 😥😳😬 School Pop Quiz Flashbacks 🤣🤣🤣. This is a Classic & def the Originator of Light as a feather.... As Suggested ,other Cult Classics would include:
CRUEL INTENTIONS
JAWBREAKER
HEATHERS (Which I read u saw already)
CLUELESS,
FEAR
& finally from 2001,
SUGAR & SPICE
ohhh these are great! I'm in a crisis over what I should be watching next, but cult classics are always always my fav!! thanks for watching and for these ideas. Also a #2 pencil will always stress me out!!
No, this is not even close to being the originator of Light As A Feather.
I don’t know if this was the first light as a feather ritual in pop culture or not but I know it was the first time I had ever seen or heard about it
Ticonderoga is my preferred pencil for artwork as well :)
Lol looking at a Ticonderoga pencil on my desk right now lol ✏️
The BEST pencil!! hahah
Love your reaction! 😊👍
yay thank you so much for stopping by and watching!!!
my wife dragged me to see this. it was her girls night out. but the girls didnt want to go out , they stayed in and got drunk. So we went to the movies
You need to get "The Faculty" in your to watch list. I think you would love it.
Another one of my movie crushes: Fairuza Balk.
Fairuza Balk was Dorthy in the Wizard of Oz sequel , Return to Oz
Please check out Heathers !! such a crazy highschool movie that will having constantly shocked and guessing what will happen next
I think it’s them coming from a place of vengeance and not having power in their everyday lives and then the power they gain combined with their intent corrupts them. Our good girl is mostly along to belong with people who she (rightfully) initially sees as being the least shitty people in her school. That might seem like a long way of getting to “power corrupts”, but that’s because I think it’s an over simplification for this movie and in general.
They used a real spell at the ocean part the writers said later and one of the leader girls I think robin, she tried to sue them for putting her in danger and lying to her cause that was in her contract that nothing real would be used.
Wow. Never thought about having Brittany Murphy in this movie. The definitely woulda killed it. RIP
I wish someone would bind me, harming others and myself is paying no dividends.
One of my favorite movies
I love this movie and I
Another movie with a similar vibe (but a bit more comedy) is the Lost Boys from 1987.
Less magic, more Vampires.
*Serious question. I've heard this phrase before. What does it mean if a movie "holds up?"*
Give “Disturbing Behavior” with Katie Holmes, Nick Stahl, and James Marsden a watch. It’s a really good teen horror from the 90s. It was a staple in my collection as a teen in the late 90s/ early 2000s.
It's a good movie but it does bother me that two of them just become Nancy's minions in the third act and are no longer their own person with their own agency. It seemed out of character.
I have a lame claim to fame bumping into Fairuza Balk briefly at a Vancouver shindig way back in our old Expo 86 days. (yes, that was 1986, not 1886 smartass) Fairuza is/was a local girl.
she did a little short about B.C. with an alien or something I can't remember now.... but I knew her from that bad Oz remake.... thought she was a little cutie.... gorgeous turquoisey/bluish eyes.
I'm fairly sure that "Marcia Brady" actress was married to Ben Stiller til recently... almost creepy he used to perv on the OG Marcia then married the look-a-like but they had a good run I guess.
thanks for another great reaction..... not sure if one of these videos says where you're based but just curious, not stalking..... IATSE and/or SAG too, I'm guessing/hoping? .....
can't get you a gig but..... it's all about who ya know..... not what you know, right?
I love a celebrity encounter! always want those stories! haha I'm NYC based right now, been trying to work on TV here... I think my brand is more LA, as I want to do comedies and we have next to none here in NY! I'm currently non-Sag also! working on that. We'll see I think 2021 might be the year this east coaster moves to Cali 😀
I love this movie .
me toooo!!! (as of this week haha)
check out the heavenly Kid
In the spirit of teen movies, I reccommend you to react to Jawbreaker
Hoping you get a chance to review The Covenent. It's pretty much the male version of this story. I really like it... and I own it.
You are the only person I've ever heard recommend that movie, but it's a fun one.
I’d hang out with one cause I was one… or a practicing witch.. now a days not so much ex it comes from this movie light as a feather. Pop culture wise but the saying goes back longer then this. Though not sure when.
Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely, basically (about the coven...somewhat)
New to your channel. I'm sure you get lots of suggestions, but you should watch "Death Becomes Her". Amazing/crazy movie!
have you watched "Heathers" with Winona Ryder ?
Have you done The Crow yet?
I think you can play high school and a college age character .
You're my new favorite person!! 😂
Oh she can!!!!
They remade this film in 2012
PG-13
Yes I wold hang out with them
You could still pass as...I don't know? What's the second one? I went to private school and, we had no grades. Junior? For sure a senior. Highschool. Could pass for an Italian super model I think, also. I could be biased though. ( :
You'll just set off a pencil manufacturer famboy flamewar with dangerous opinions like that. "Mitsubishi ftw"
Also CRT = "chunky ray tube"
Ma favourite movie
Very cool?
Like magic? Maybe you'll like The Ninth Gate, w/Johnny Depp
Or Warlock w/Julian Sands.
Or Big Trouble In Little China w/Kurt Russell?
Or Hocus Pocus w/Better Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker?
Vickie valentine also killed this role
I wasn’t even 2 when this and Scream came out, so I grew up knowing what they both were-oh and does anyone here really want to review Jennifer’s Body and the Netflix series Slasher? And the Craft remake?
I DEF want to do Jennifer's Body I think that is the most brilliant script and most underrated Megan Fox performance alive. I'm team justice for Jennifer's Body!
I remember around the time Jennifer's Body came out, it was generally panned and didn't perform well. When I saw it, I was floored by how well it was made. It's such a great horror movie with great performances from both leads.
Actually I did hang with witches in high school.
Watch "Airplane" and "Top Secret"...... Because your laugh is irresistible. And make your videos longer than 12 minutes, please. (Because you're irresistible.)
