"We honored the writing, and then we had a party," says Ortega, who also says that the iconic walk the sisters perform while scouring the streets of Salem also came to them on set. "That evolved out of there, they needed to move from point A to point B, and that just sort of happened. There were a number of moments like that throughout the film, where we were just surprised with how ideas just arrived," he explains. "I think a set that allowed everybody to have some fun and be experimental and non-judgmental and just let things play out."in the first film.
"It's on the other side mainly because it's so hard for me to do it on the side I did it on 30 years ago. I'm sure the fans are going to go into deep detail about why it's on the other side," she said at the time.
