Thirty-one years ago, Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen brewed up Double, Double Toil and Trouble.
By this time, the then 7-year-old twins were already the youngest self-made millionaires. After launching their careers at the ripe old age of 8 months with the role of Michelle Tanner on Full House, Mary-Kate and Ashley quickly grew their empire. The child-stars-turned-fashion designers created their own company Dualstar, which would go on to produce all of their straight-to-VHS movies—including, of course, Double, Double Toil and Trouble.
The TV movie premiered on ABC October 30, 1993 and has gone on to become a somewhat overlooked Halloween film, aside from the Olsen twins’ loyal fanbase who grew up obsessed with the sisters’ songs and movies. But Double, Double Toil and Trouble is filled with lots of ’90s nostalgia, WTF moments and a cast that also includes Eric McCormack (though he previously admitted he’d never actually seen the film).
“No, I never have,” the Will & Grace alum, who wasn’t a big fan of his longer ‘do in the movie, told Entertainment Weekly in 2021. “It’s hard to go back and see…certain looks. And also, I was probably a year-and-a-half into television, so I was still trying to adapt my stage acting to the camera. Maybe I was terrified to go back and watch it.”
