    • Trivia
      The entire house was a specially built architectural shell that was torn down after filming. It was built on rented land, and even the blossoms on the trees are fake, made of silk.
    • Goofs
      When casting the resurrection spell, both Gillian and Sally mispronounce the name of the witch goddess, Hekate (Hecate). They pronounce it "Heck-tate" when it's properly pronounced "Heh - cah - tee".
    • Quotes
      • Sally Owens: I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for.

      In the Blu-ray master from the Comedy double feature Blu-ray disc containing Practical Magic and The Witches of Eastwick (1987), the 75th Anniversary variant of the Warner Bros. Pictures logo is plastered with the 2003 variant.
