The Initiation of Sarah is a 2006 American supernatural horror television film that was directed by Stuart Gillard for ABC Family.[1] It first aired as part of ABC Family's 13 Nights of Halloween on October 22, 2006, and is a loose remake of the 1978 film of the same name.[2][3] The two films differ in several ways. The personalities of Sarah and Patty (who was renamed Lindsay) were switched, the two are now biological sisters instead of adopted siblings, and the movie features magic as a predominant element to the plot, whereas in the original the focus is more heavily on Sarah having telekinesis. The character of Mrs. Hunter was re-written to be younger and possess a PhD, and is seen as a more positive figure in the movie as opposed to the character portrayed by Shelley Winters. The film's ending is also changed, as Sarah ends up with her love interest and does not die at the film's conclusion.
