The franchise has been met with mixed reception critically.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The 1985 original movie was met with a muddled critical acknowledgement with mixed praise upon release,[7] while conversely its sequel received mostly negative response.[8] Despite this, both films turned a profit at the box office for the studio.[9][10] The 1989 standalone spin-off movie was a critical and financial failure upon release, though subsequent re-releases as well as television airings have accumulated a strong fanbase,[11] with the film earning its status as a cult classic by modern analysis.[12] The animated series was produced by one of Hanna-Barbera's animation studios and received warm reception from viewers, which lead to a second season being greenlit and developed to include the lead characters of the original movies meeting on screen.[13] The reimagied dark and gritty live-action reboot television series received positive reception from critics and audiences alike,[5] allowing the network to renew the show for six seasons.[14] The 2023 revival streaming film which continued the story from the series was also met with mixed reception from critics who ranged from praising its use of fan service,[15][16] to critiquing its delivery.[17]

Teen Witch | April 23, 1989 | Dorian Walker | Robin Menken & Vernon Zimmerman | Moshe Diamant, Rafael Eisenman, Alana H. Lambros, Bob Manning and Eduard Sarlai |
Originally intended to serve as a spin-off film directly connected to the original two Teen Wolf films, Teen Witch was repurposed to be a standalone story instead. Starring Robyn Lively, the plot, similar in structure to the Teen Wolf movies, centers around an adolescent witch in comedic situations at high school. In addition, the movie also incorporates the use of musical numbers.[47][48][11] Though initially poorly received by critics, the film has since garnered a cult status following midnight theater screenings and its inclusion in ABC Family / Freeform annual 31 Nights of Halloween event.[12][49]
Adaptations
editIn 2007, it was discovered that master audio tapes of the original soundtrack to Teen Witch had been misplaced. Due to the high demand from the film's growing fanbase for a soundtrack album, Larry and Tom Weir were commissioned by Caption Records to develop new recordings with an all-new cast. Alana Lambros produced the recording with intentions to expand the project into a Broadway stage musical titled Teen Witch: The Musical.[50][51][52][53] The show and its songs were performed at radio station events, parks, and county fairs that summer; despite intentions for a wide release, the stage production never received a large venue debut.[52]
In April 2008, it was announced that United Artists was developing a remake film adaptation. Ashley Tisdale was cast in the leading role as Louise Miller, a successful student lacking in social status who discovers she is the descendant of witches and has mystical abilities. A script was in development at that time.[54][55][56][57]
