This definitely would've been really scary if I had seen it as a kid! The special effects do seem to be impressive for the time it was filmed/released. I did notice a few plot holes. Oddly, despite the diversity in the group attending the witches' conference, visiting from all over (and including men in drag), there are no black women! Anyways, overall this is a pretty freaky movie. Would I watch it again? No. Would I watch the new remake? Yes.
