Quotes

Emily? Emily!
Thackery Binx:
Emily!
Thackery Binx:
Elijah! Elijah! Hast thou seen my sister Emily?
Elijah:
Nay. But, look.
Elijah:
They conjure.
Thackery Binx:
Oh, god. The woods!
Thackery Binx:
Emily!
Elijah:
She's done for!
Thackery Binx:
Not yet! You wake my father, summon the others! Go!
Goofs
In the beginning of the movie, Sarah's singing lures Emily to the Sanderson house. Thackery and Elijah don't hear the song but instead see the beam of light coming from the Sanderson house. After Thackery climbs through the window Mary is able to smell him. It is possible that while Thackery is too old to hear the song, he is still young enough to be considered a child.
Crazy Credits
The Walt Disney logo at the start is tinted blue (the one at the end has the usual coloring).
Alternate Versions
When shown on UK television in 2005, all instances of Billy losing his head and stumbling around headless were cut (rendering the credit in the cast to 'Headless Billy' meaningless). Thus, the scene when Billy loses his head and Dani steps out of the protective salt circle to retrieve it for him (giving Winnie the opportunity to grab her) no longer makes sense. It just cuts to a scene of Dani suddenly outside the protective circle and screaming as Winnie swoops down on her from above. Without knowing about Dani retrieving Billy's head the viewer is left puzzled as to why Dani left the circle.
