First, director Chuck Russell (who also co-wrote this adaptation) talks about how he enjoys taking on classic horror reimaginings, and what it was about the original Witchboard that interested him in making a new take on that story.

Next, actors Elisha and Renee Herbert play two of the three Ashas, Alexander’s white-haired witches, and they talk about their input on the look and behaviors of their characters, and hint at possible future projects featuring the Ashas.
