In the movie version, Roeg and Henson decided the book ending was too dark and introduced the Miss Irvine вЂњgood witchвЂќ character, who uses her powers to transform Luke back to a boy. вЂњI'll be a very old mouse and you'll be a very old grandmother and soon after that we'll both die together,вЂќ the narrator says in the book. The book ends with the boy living as a mouse. In the movie, the boyвЂ™s named Luke and the grandmaвЂ™s named Helga.

While in Virginia in 2004, Huston got word her friendвЂ™s daughter and friends were planning on watching The Witches. In a 2013 interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, Huston called her part in The Witches, вЂњOne of the roles I hold dearest,вЂќ and mused about the time she freaked out her friend's kids. In ghastly fashion, the hotel is supposedly haunted-not by witches, but by a lady wearing a вЂњlong, dark coat without arms and a funny small white hat on her head.вЂќ 3. Stringer) left his bath running before he went to bed and ended up flooding the ground floor of the hotel, including the film's production office. The hotelвЂ™s website recounts behind-the-scenes trivia such as how HustonвЂ™s then-boyfriend, Jack Nicholson, constantly had roses delivered to her, and how вЂњthe girls on the switchboard would become very excited when he telephoned to speak to her.вЂќ The hotel also shares a story about the time Rowan Atkinson (Mr. When Luke and Helga vacation at the resort, they were actually on location at a now 115-year-old hotel, The Headland, located in Cornwall, England. CORNWALL'S HEADLAND HOTEL ACTED AS THE HOTEL EXCELSIOR. The tips of my fingers acted as knuckles and it took at least an hour to take it off, so it was a bit problematic going to the bathroom.вЂќ 2. вЂњMercifully, I wasnвЂ™t in it for the whole movie-only for about two or three weeks,вЂќ she said, вЂњbut they were arduous weeks. Huston explained to TV3 that it took six to seven hours to get her makeup done and then another five hours to take it off. In order to transition from Eva Ernst to the Grand High Witch, Huston had to tolerate chin whiskers, purple contact lenses, and more.
