Of the scenes that were cut, Kathy recalled a sequence in a grocery story, which can still be seen one of the trailers for the film. “That was a good one. That was so fun… Mary got to be set loose in a supermarket!” “There was a wall full of cats”, according to Vinessa Shaw who played Allison Watts. “[They] all did a different thing – one would bat you, one would jump on you, one would sleep, one would cuddle with you.” The actors would then use a buzzer and system of giving treats to get the cats to interact with them in scenes. “They treated those cats well though”, Kathy hastened to add! Mary’s vision for Bette was something “colorful and fun” with “a little sparkle to it”, which Bette ended up being very amenable to. Mary knew Bette was going to have red hair, so she decided green and purple complimented that choice. She also wanted to include symbols on Winnie’s dress, which she took from the rune alphabet and from Stonehenge! “Screamin’ Jay Hawkins made the song immortal; I just cribbed it”, Bette revealed to Yahoo! “[The lyric] ‘Of all the witches working, I’m the worst’ – that was my line”.
