b.		About the invocation scene, Sony Pictures World Wide Web site at the time the film was featured on its website has to say: "The crew had to return to the location a second time to complete filming interrupted by several weird occurrences that even caused witch consultant Pat Devin to raise an eyebrow. As the fog rolled in at midnight, the four actresses used actual Wiccan rites and language to invoke powerful forces. Then, as Fairuza Balks character Nancy attempts to invoke the deity Manon, a flock of bats hovered over the set and the tide rose dramatically, extinguishing the circle of candles. Witchcraft consultant Devin recalls that Manon, a fictitious creation for the film, sounds very close to Mananan, the Gaelic god of the sea. Luckily, we werent all swept to sea!" The Web site quotes director Andrew Fleming: "Every time the girls started the ceremony, and only when they would start the ceremony, the waves would start coming up tremendously fast, pounding heavily.
