47 free The Craft trivia questions with answers. This trivia quiz on The Craft covers the 1996 teen witch movie from the first pencil Sarah levitates to Nancy in restraints insisting she can fly. The plot questions run through the four spells and what each one costs, the Invocation of the Spirit on the beach, the walk on water past beached sharks, the shop owner who warns the girls, and the finale of mirrors, insects and a fake plane crash. Behind-the-scenes questions cover the 85 actresses who screen-tested, why Sarah's actress wore a wig, the practising Wiccan who wrote the incantations, the occult shop Fairuza Balk bought mid-shoot and the Los Angeles locations that stood in for St. Benedict's Academy. The back end takes in the soundtrack (Our Lady Peace, Love Spit Love, Heather Nova), the MTV Movie Award, the Katy Perry song it inspired, the 2013 Hollywood Forever reunion and the 2020 sequel The Craft: Legacy, including its final-scene reveal. Every answer has been checked against the film's Wikipedia page and the pages for its cast and sequel, and each explanation adds one detail worth remembering.

Q 01In what year was The Craft released in US cinemas?
1996
It opened at number one on 3 May and became a sleeper hit that Columbia credited to teenage girls and young women.
Q 02Who directed The Craft?
Andrew Fleming
Filardi wrote the story and first draft, Wick produced, and Fleming came on to direct and finish the script; he later executive-produced the sequel.

Robin Tunney
She had just made Empire Records and went on to play Teresa Lisbon on The Mentalist for seven seasons.
Q 04Which actress plays Nancy, the coven's unstable leader?
Fairuza Balk
The performance earned her a Saturn Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress and, critics agree, is the film's most enduring legacy.
Q 05Which Party of Five star plays the burn-scarred witch in the coven?
Neve Campbell
She was the best-known of the four leads at the time; The Craft was her first widely released film.

Rachel True
She and Nancy's actress were the first two cast; the character was rewritten as Black once True was hired.
Q 07Who plays Chris Hooker, the jock who spreads a rumour about Sarah?
Skeet Ulrich
The same year he played Billy Loomis in Scream, so 1996 audiences saw him die horribly twice.
Q 08Sarah moves to Los Angeles from which city at the start of the film?
San Francisco
She arrives with her father and stepmother, and it later emerges she once attempted suicide.
Q 09What is the name of the powerful deity the girls worship?
Manon
The name was invented for the film; the on-set Wiccan adviser wrote the incantations to keep the rest of the ritual respectful of real practice.
Q 10What does one of the coven see Sarah do in class that convinces them she is 'the fourth'?
Levitate a pencil
The coven represents the four elements, and they need a fourth member to become powerful.
Q 11What happens to the vagrant who chases Sarah, an event the girls believe their combined will caused?
He is struck by a car
He had earlier frightened Sarah with a snake, and the 'accident' is what first bonds the four girls.
Q 12What does Chris do after his date with Sarah that pushes her to cast a love spell on him?
Spreads a false rumour that they slept together
The spell works far too well: he becomes obsessed, then violent, and eventually tries to assault her.

Her hair falls out
Q 21Where is Nancy at the end of the film?
Committed to a psychiatric hospital
Restrained and delusional, she insists she can fly; the sequel picks that thread up 24 years later.

They abused them
They assume Sarah must have lost hers too, until she conjures a lightning storm and drops a tree branch on them.

St. Benedict's Academy
Rochelle later finds Laura sobbing in the shower over her baldness, and the revenge stops feeling good.
Q 14What does the burn-scarred witch ask the spell for?
Beauty
Her scars heal, and she promptly turns vain and cruel; it is the film's cleanest be-careful-what-you-wish-for arc.

A heart attack
The life insurance lets Nancy and her mother swap the trailer for a luxury high-rise apartment.

Invocation of the Spirit
Lirio, the occult-shop owner, warns them against it; Nancy is struck by lightning mid-ritual and comes out changed.

Beached sharks and dead sea creatures
The sharks were built by Tony Gardner's effects company Alterian, which also handled the film's makeup effects.

Lirio
She is played by Spanish actress Assumpta Serna, and the shop scenes were filmed at the El Adobe Marketplace on Hollywood Boulevard.
Q 19How does Nancy kill Chris at the party?
Throws him out a window
She had used a glamour to impersonate Sarah and seduce him; when he sees through it and calls her jealous, she snaps.
Q 20When Sarah's binding spell fails, what do the other three make her believe to drive her toward suicide?
Her family died in a plane crash

Bonnie
She reportedly preferred the smaller part and had to be persuaded to take the starring role.
