Long live Teen Witch!
Actress Robyn Lively, who starred in the 1989 film as 15-year-old Louise Miller, is feeling the spirit of spooky season. In celebration of Halloween, Lively, 53, shared photos of herself between takes, sitting with her “seer,” Madame Serena, played by Zelda Rubinstein.
Teen Witch follows Louise after she discovers she is the reincarnation of a 17th-century witch after developing powers on her 16th birthday. She used these newfound powers to bring herself the popularity and love she’d desired from her peers, thanks to a little help from the Madame herself.
“Madame Serena knows all, sees all, tells all! She also enjoys her Diet Coke with a straw, thank you very much. And don’t let her face fool you, she was delighted to have me in her lap. I loved her and she loved me. HAPPY HALLOWEEN b——! 👻🔮 🪄,” she captioned the fun throwbacks.

Last year, Lively took a look back at the film and what it meant to her in celebration of its 35th anniversary.
“I can hardly believe it’s been that many years that we made this unsuspecting treasure,” Lively captioned the post, which started with a side-by-side of her and onscreen love interest Dan Gauthier.
“Having the opportunity to meet so many of you that love this film, to read your delightful and sometimes heart-wrenching comments here… you guys will never know how much it means to me,” Lively continued.
“So thank you, for sharing a piece of your heart and experiences with me! Teen Witch fans are the absolute BEST! You have my heart!”
While Teen Witch wasn’t an instant hit, over the years, it has gained a cult following from those who appreciate the special qualities of the lighthearted scary movies of the era. Lively has previously admitted that despite not gaining notoriety at the time of its release, it continues to be one of her most recognized roles.
“Teen Witch holds the number one spot for decades now,” she shared with PEOPLE. “Nothing compares. People absolutely love that film, and it’s resonated with so many generations. I had no idea when we were filming it that it would end up being … I just had no clue. It’s so dear and beloved to me because of that.”
