Acclaimed actor and “Practical Magic” director Griffin Dunne is glad to see its renaissance.

“I don’t know when it could have started. Maybe 10 years ago, the conversation about ‘Practical Magic’ started to pick up more steam, particularly around Halloween. I’d see memes with ‘midnight margaritas’ and when my friends’ daughters found out I directed that movie, they’d go insane,” he recalls.
