Three hundred years after they were sentenced to die in Salem, a trio of witches return to gain their revenge.

Terrorizing the town’s trick-or-treaters on Halloween, riding on vacuum cleaners instead of broomsticks, the only thing that can stop them is a black cat – in fact a boy who was turned into feline form on the day of the witches’ original execution.
