Here is a very good Halloween themed show. Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian (Nicole Kidman) come from a family of witches, with a particular curse that if they love men, that man is destined to die. And so they do their best not to fall in love, including wishing (or casting a spell) for the impossible, or picking someone who is terribly evil you couldn't fall in love with him. All this works to a degree, until Sally does fall in love, and after having two children, her husband is killed by a truck. In the meantime, Gillian picks an abuser, and Sally goes to rescue her, killing gillian's boyfriend in the process. They cast a spell to bring him back, and he comes back as a ghost haunting them. In the end he inhabits Gillian, and only bringing the community together are they able to save her, and send the ex on his way.
This movie has sisterly and motherly affection, as well as romantic relationships. It has some scary scenes. It also puts in some unneeded drinking and partying. It also deals with relationships with those who are different. The community has always been down on them as witches, but in the end the make amends.
