Summary
  • Practical magic: Sally and Gillian are sisters with a bewitching gift. Unfortunately their gift also comes with a dark family curse: any man who falls in love with them meets a horrible end. When Sally meets the man of her dreams, she has one final chance to lift the curse and set their love lives free. With the help of their aunts the siblings take on the dark side
  • The witch: A family in 1630s New England faces destruction by the forces of witchcraft, black magic, and possession. When one of their five children goes missing and their life-sustaining crops fail, they fall victim to paranoia and fear as they begin to turn on one another
  • The crucible: A group of teenage girls meets in the woods at midnight for a secret ceremony. When the ceremony is witnessed by the town minister, the girls are accused of witchcraft. Soon the entire village is consumed by hysteria, and innocent victims are put on trial, leading to a devastating climax
  • The lords of Salem: Tells the tale of Heidi, a radio station DJ living in Salem, Massachusetts, who receives a strange wooden box containing a record, a gift from the Lords. Heidi listens, and the bizarre sounds within the grooves immediately trigger flashbacks of the town's violent past. Is Heidi going mad, or are the Lords of Salem returning for revenge on modern-day Salem?
  • Sleepy Hollow: In this version of Washington Irving's classic tale, Ichabod Crane is an eccentric investigator sent to Sleepy Hollow to probe a series of murders allegedly committed by a headless horseman
  • The covenant: The descendants of the founding families of Ipswich, Massachusetts, Caleb, Reid, Sims, and Pogue, are teenagers who have it all. This includes witch-like powers they inherited from their ancestors. At the age of 18, which Caleb will hit first, they will "ascend" into their mature powers. The catch is that every time they use their powers, it ages them. On the eve of Caleb's ascension, the group finds that someone else has been using their powers to cause trouble. Now, the four must find out who it is and put a stop to it before people start getting hurt
