The premise
Samantha Stephens is a seemingly normal suburban housewife who also happens to be a genuine witch, with all the requisite magical powers. Her husband Darrin insists that Samantha keep her witchcraft under wraps, but situations invariably require her to indulge her powers while keeping her bothersome mother Endora at bay.
Horror Vault's take
Samantha Stephens looks every bit the picture-perfect suburban housewife — except she's a fully-fledged witch with formidable powers at her fingertips. Her husband Darrin is determined to keep the magic under wraps and maintain a normal life, but chaos has a way of finding the Stephens household. Throw in Samantha's meddlesome, sharp-tongued mother Endora, and no amount of good intentions can keep the spells from flying. This beloved classic sitcom serves up a brew of domestic comedy and gentle fantasy that ran for eight seasons.
