Three hundred years later, Max Dennison uncomfortably moves from Los Angeles to Salem with his family. While they enjoy their time in Salem, Max and his little sister Dani, an enthusiastic trickortreater, wander into the house of their friend Allison, whose family owns the Sanderson cottage, now a museum. Max suggests going to the cottage to impress Allison and to make a believer out of him, though a scared Dani objects until Max promises to take her trickortreating properly the following year as Peter Pan and Wendy in tights.Investigating inside the cottage, Max lights the Black Flame Candle. This resurrects the witches, who plot to continue their plan to suck out the souls of all of Salems children, beginning with Dani. The children escape, while Max steals Winifreds spell book on advice from the talking Binx. The witches pursue them to a cemetery, where Winifred raises her unfaithful lover Billy Butcherson as a zombie to chase them on foot. The witches try to acclimate to the 20th century, but are horrified when they discover that Halloween has become a holiday, and their broomsticks are stolen by three girls. Winifred reminds them that they must achieve their goals before sunrise or they will be disintegrated. They pursue the children across town using Marys enhanced sense of smell. ........
