Twitches Fun Facts and Trivia

Sharing is caring!

Twitches is an underrated Disney Halloween movie that starred Tia and Tamara Mowry. Here are some interesting Twitches fun facts, trivia, and easter eggs that you may not have known.

I grew up watching Sister, Sister as a teen so watching Twitches was a must-do for me. I LOVED that show. They “graduated” high school the same year as me in 1998. Twitches has a similar beginning baseline plot as Sister, Sister. Twins that were separated shortly after birth and were reunited later in life. Their reunification is instrumented by their guardians Illeana and Karsh who need the sisters to work together to save their biological mother.

Twitches Fun Facts

Based on a Book. The book came out in 2001. It is called T’witches: The Power Of Two. Disney did take some artistic and casting liberties but the premise is the same. If you love the first book, there are 8 more titles in the T*witches book series.

The Same Beginning. When the two sisters, Artemis and Apolla, meet each other for the first time, they bump into each other in a clothing store. This is also the same way both girls meet each other in the first episode of their original show, Sister, Sister.

Purposeful Names. The names of the characters are based on Greek gods and goddesses. Apolla is named for Apollo, the Greek god of the sun, Artemis is named for the Greek goddess of the moon and Thantos is named for the god of death Thánatos.

Filming Goof. When Artemis is playing with the birthday cake that Lucinda made for her, the piece that she has on her plate has an ‘A’ on it. The actual cake still has the ‘A’ on it though. The piece that was taken from the cake should have the ‘LEX’ on it.

Lots of Switching.

  • Originally, Tia was supposed to play Camryn and Tamera was supposed to play Alex, but the two wanted their roles to be switched.
  • Due to a scheduling conflict, Tia played both parts for 2 days of filming in the birthday party scene. It’s cool that they could do each others’ “work” in this movie.
  • For the first few days of filming, the cast and crew had a hard time telling Tia and Tamera apart so the twins took advantage of that and did play a few tricks on them.

Twitches Easter Eggs

While there is only one easter egg in Twitches that I know of, I think it is a pretty cool one.

Rich Girls Live Here. Cameron, the rich twin lives in a mansion. The mansion will look familiar to you if you have ever seen Mean Girls as it is the same one. It is an actual mansion in Canada that has been used for several movies.
