There are plenty of pop culture witches who have made their mark, though one that holds a special place in ’80s kids’ hearts is Louise Miller from Teen Witch.

Despite not being a huge box office success at the time of its 1989 release, it’s lived on as one of the more memorable depictions of teenage witches – and to celebrate the film’s anniversary, the cast reunited.

On Oct. 24, Robyn Lively posted photos of herself with her former costars, adding side-by-side shots of the cast in the late ’80s and now.

“I can hardly believe it’s been that many years that we made this unsuspecting treasure,” Lively captioned the post, which started with a side-by-side of her and onscreen love interest Dan Gauthier.

 you guys will never know how much it means to me,” Lively continued. “So thank you, for sharing a piece of your heart and experiences with me! Teen Witch fans are the absolute BEST! You have my heart!”
