Twitches are two direct-to-video television films produced by Broomsticks Productions Limited and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. It is directed by Stuart Gillard, written by Dan Berendsen, created by Carla Singer and Kevin Lafferty, music by John Van Tongeren, adapted from the novel series of the same name by H.B. Gilmour and Randi Reisfeld; and stars Tia Mowry and Tamera Mowry. Television premieres are part of Disney Channel's Hauntober Fest. The first film was released as a Disney Channel Original Movie, and after its immediate success it was followed by a television sequel.
The first Twitches was released on October 14, 2005 a year after 2004's Halloweentown High, in the same year as Now You See It..., and started a new format for Disney television in October that was named "Hauntober Fest". The television premiere received 5.0 million viewers on its premiere night. Its theme song is "Rush" by Alyson Michalka with her sister Amanda.
Magical twins, Alex Fielding (Tia Mowry) and Cam Barnes (Tamera Mowry), are separated at birth by their protectors, Karsh (Pat Kelly) and Ileana (Jennifer Robertson), when the Darkness attacks their homeland of Coventry and kills the twins' father through a war that was going on. They survived because their father, Aron (David Ingram) gave all of his magic to the twins and whenever they are together they are safe; their combined power is enough to fend off the Darkness. For their protection, Karsh and Ileana flee Coventry and hide the twins safely in a non-magical dimension (Earth) in a place called Waverly. Camryn grows up in a high-class family and becomes a social butterfly. She wears a sun amulet, and always awakes with the sunrise. She likes to draw, and unknowingly draws extremely realistic pictures of Coventry and her birth mother, Miranda. Alex grew up in a middle-class home with a single mother (who died recently). She wears a moon amulet and is always up until the moon sets. She is a bookworm and is always writing stories about Coventry and their mother, unaware they are true.
