“They ain’t the best witches but they’re entertaining.” Best summary of Hocus Pocus I’ve ever heard.

The effects in this are low key very impressive for 1993, especially the talking cat.

@vherak05 That's probably why it didn't do well in the box offices initially, most people don't care about Halloween during Summer, I'm 1 of the few who would see this anytime but I wasn't born til October of '93 so it was not possible unfortunately lol

I always find it hilarious that the little sister runs around telling people her brother is a virgin knowing nothing about what that actually is.

How do you know she doesn't know what a virgin is? She's young, it doesn't mean she's unaware. I knew what a virgin was by that age, and it's NOT explicitly stated in the movie that she DIDN'T know the meaning of the word. In fact, I'd venture to say, she very much DID know what a virgin was, which is why she begged her brother to NOT light the candle KNOWING it HAD to be a virgin to light it for them to come back according to the lore she heard that day in school. She was frustrated after because, as she said, "A VIRGIN lit the candle." Now, how she knew for SURE her brother was a virgin, idk. When I was a teen hooking up I wasn't doing it at home so my siblings wouldn't know lmao.

Fun fact - Hocus Pocus started life as a script by Mick Garris, that was bought by Walt Disney Pictures in 1984. The film's working title was Disney's Halloween House; it was much darker and scarier, and its protagonists were all 12-year-olds. Garris and Kirschner pitched it to Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment; Spielberg saw Disney as a competitor to Amblin in the family film market at the time and refused to co-produce a film with his "rival. This movie actually bombed and cost Disney 16.5 million, but it took off after it being aired during October on ABC’s Families 31 days of Halloween, and Disney. It also saw a increase in media sales every Halloween. Love your reactions to this, this is one of my favorites Sarah Jessica Parker who plays Sarah Sanderson even though she was I dope in this film she was hot lol. Glad you enjoyed this film, hope you get to react to the sequel. At 34:18 when Billy cuts his stitches and dust and moths come out his mouth those were actual moths. Years after the movie came out the actor who played Billy spoke about it.

I watched this movie ALOT throughout the 90s as a kid and never got the "It might take me a couple tries" joke until I rewatched it a couple years ago. 😂

Another great witch movie is THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK (1987) starring Jack Nicholson, Cher, and Michelle Pfiefer

Sarah Jessica Parker flying on that broom, singing Come Little Children, is absolutely key to the plot.

"Its hallowed ground. Witches cant step foot here." J : "....Is that true?" 🤣

The box office bomb that became a cult classic. Originally, Steven Spielberg was going to direct the film, but was too busy working on a little movie called JURASSIC PARK.

Love this channel and all the fun we have as eom family we need more happiness in the world

Honestly this is one of my favorite Halloween movies, and has a line that many overlook but completely undermines the whole "All witches are evil" argument. When Allison uses the salt around the drum set Winnie looks at her and says: "Salt! What a clever little White Witch." Favorite line as it shows that there can be a Good Witch who could possibly counter them as a trio

“A torture chamber!” *Hahaha* Used to watch this on VHS with my brothers every time I visited my grandma’s. Oh the good ole days!

He was defending his sister he was way outnumbered so he defused the situation and gave him his bag of candy. If he hit one of them and the rest jumped in they could have hurt his sister while he was being beat up. He made the smart decision and said here u want some candy here u go here’s my candy. If he was just by himself then he could have hit one of them.

Sarah's power, is her ability to hypnotize children with her singing and lure them in. Mary's ability is to sniff them out.

Hubby came in the room the other night as I was watching it and asked me how many times I've seen it. I asked, "This week? Four." Lol

Loved this movie since I was 12,on the Disney channel, the guy who played Max had the series Eerie Indiana the same time this movie came out.

J - "You can't burn witches" Salem - "Hold my beer....."

The Heavier Lady looks a lot like my Son's Mother, I LOVE THIS MOVIE! I've been watching it since it was New.

My insane little kitty is named Binx, straight from the movie :)

One of my kid's faves and definitely, mine! I was just telling someone on a comment on here, my hubby came in the room the other night and it was on and he asked me how many times I've seen it. I said, "This week? Four."

A true Halloween classic ❤

The girl playing Dani the sister, is Thora Birch. She was one of my childhood crushes. She is such a great actress! And shes gorgeous.

Shout out to every black cat that was called Binx after this movie ❤ I loved my Binx so much, she would climb trees with me and loved to cuddle.

The young teenage girl that you said that looks familiar. I think she was also in ladybugs.

Sarah Jessica Parker when she jumps & says 'amuck amuck amuck'. I cry laughing everytime

I remember being 16 in the fall of '93, staying home from school with a sinus infection and the trailer for this movie played at least once every commercial break. After the 20th, "Amuck, amuck, amuck," I wanted to take a sledgehammer to the tv lol

Classic movie. Hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

So that song the sisters sang in this, it's "I Put A Spell On You" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. J needs to look this guy up. He was a horror singer back in the 50's. Dude was amazing and is one of my favorite 50's performers.

No way. I love this movie since day one.

This will be my first live stream hopefully . I’ll be taking my break at work to watch :)

I remember watching this when I was pregnant with my daughter. It's since become our favorite Halloween movie we watch together every year. Great memories ❤

loved this movie growing up, the sequel they just released was just as fun to me

The biggest problem with the story is the fact that the cat had 300years to dispose of that candle, another question in my head is this, sense the candle needs to be lit by a virgin, what would happen if a virgin lit the house on fire instead.

To be fair shit was popping off at Hogwarts too. A lot of students died. Most on school grounds. Including Dumbledore. So I mean I’m good on that. That’s board of education is trash! Also Bette Midler(Winifred) is an ICON. She was almost 80 years old when she did the sequel and it felt like the next day. And her voice is just such a powerhouse. 10/10 she can put a spell on me anytime.

Am I the only one that sees Jloween and kinda expects Jennifer Lopez movies? Dont get me wrong, nothing would be quite as terrifying as watching a marathon of her movies, but still. Its just what the name makes me think.

Just enough camp, the overly dramatic performance always gets me 😂. Despite this, the Sandersons have distinct personalities and abilities and are still dangerous. Good family friendly fun for Halloween 🎃

I saw this is theaters when I was younger. Still remains my favorite Halloween movie. Pretty damn dark for a Disney movie. The sequel is good but it’s not as good as the first. They’re making another one as well!

I am so happy you watched this!!!! I feel like Disney was awesome then. I’m like you, I’m just a kid…well, I cuss like a sailor but I like the cutesy lighthearted stuff. Thank you for this one, gonna rewatch you watch it again lol

Hey jay, if you like a comedy horror like this with a musical scene?then I will recommend the midnight hour from the year 1985. If you heard of Wolfman Jack, he handles the music in this movie.

Fun Fact: The Roxette song 'Almost Unreal' was written and intended for the soundtrack to this movie (it even references 'Hocus Pocus'in the lyrics) BUT at the eleventh hour the studio decided to instead put the song on the soundtrack of 'Super Mario Bros.' which was getting a much heavier promotional push.

About Disney and killing the parents... There is a reason for this.. When Walt made his fortune with (I believe with snow white) he bought his parents a beautiful home. They both died in the home due to carbon monoxide poisoning and took a terrible toll on Walt as he felt responsible because he picked the house. This is supposedly why Disney movies typically loose a parent or usually both. Sometimes when you wonder something and do some research you find some pretty fucked up reasons why something is happening.

The little sister dani also was in the walking dead. She played Gamma the whisperer.

those aren’t just the shape of winifred’s lips, it’s a lipstick style i believe, without checking, from the 18th century reminiscent of marie antoinette and the queen of hearts.
