Disney has said, “It’s been 29 years since someone lit the Black Flame Candle and resurrected the 17^th-century sisters who were executed for practicing witchcraft, and they are looking for revenge. Now it is up to three high-school students to figure out how to stop the ravenous witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on Salem before midnight on All Hallow’s Eve.”
