A playful, Halloween-themed family adventure that balances spooky supernatural elements with genuine warmth and humor, anchored by the bond between kids and a talking cat.

After 300 years of slumber, three sister witches are accidentally resurrected in Salem on Halloween night, and it is up to three kids and their newfound feline friend to put an end to the witches' reign of terror once and for all.
