It’s been 20 years since we saw these ladies make magic happen on the big screen in their movie The Craft which ended up being the ultimate teenage flick. Girls everywhere were mesmerized by their charm, beauty, intrigue and of course, the magic! We all wish that we could make stuff like this happen in our own lives and so watching this movie was a great way to feel as if it were all possible.
Admit it, after this movie you probably thought that becoming a Wiccan was the thing for you. Unfortunately, you weren’t able to cast any magic spells but nonetheless, you were a big fan of this movie and the witches in it. So, to celebrate, let’s take a look back at the cast and see what they have been up to since this epic movie came out.
Fairuza Balk.
She was the dark witch-wanna-be known as Nancy Downs who was the leader of the coven and ended up going insane. She went on to play other gothic roles in The Island of Dr.Moreau, American History X, and The Waterboy and then went onto to play in Personal Velocity. Then she went back to her roots and owned an occult store (Panpipes) in Hollywood between 1995-2001. Later, in 2002, she played smaller roles in Indie films and did some voice-over work for video games.

Robin Tunney.
Sarah Bailey was the only ‘real’ witch in this movie and she tried to save everyone from the coven. She ultimate showed off her power to keep the coven away from her. Since then she didn’t do much in the acting world until 2002 when she played the lead role in Cherish. Then, in 2004, she was in a pilot episode of House before being in Prison Break in 2005. In 2008, she was in The Mentalist, a show that lasted until 2015.

Recently, she came back to television and appeared on The Simpsons, Mad Men, Manhattan and House of Cards.

Rachel True.
She was the fourth witch in the coven who was dealing with the some pressures of being the only black woman at St. Benedict’s (the preppy high school that they attended).

This was an awful scene in which she lost her hair due to witchcraft. She later starred in Hey Dude and The Brady Bunch Movie.
