With all of the scary Halloween movies out there, there is one that stands above the rest. Hocus Pocus was released 23 years ago, and although it wasn't a hit right away, it later became a cult classic. Here are 10 reasons why Hocus Pocus is the best Halloween movie of all time.
1. It has a great cast.
Some of the movie's awesome cast members include Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Sean Murray (McGee in NCIS!). Every character has a vital role in the movie, and without one of them, it wouldn't be the same.
2. There is humor throughout the entire movie.
3. There's history involved.
The Salem Witch Trials were briefly talked about in the beginning of the film, but they actually ended about six months before the Sanderson sisters were convicted of performing witchcraft.
4. The cast was just as close in real life as they were in the movie.
In an interview on from Good Morning America, Vinessa Shaw, who played Allison, said that they spent a lot free time together on and off set; they looked up to the older actors as mentors.
5. Thackery Binx was the best big brother ever.
6. The Sanderson Sisters can go down in history for being the best trio of sisters in movie history.
7. The music and spells are completely captivating.
8. Dani had the best one-liners.
She also proved that all little sisters were sassy.
9. The 90's references are on point.
Max and Dani's mom being Madonna for Halloween and all of the tye-dye, just to name a few of them.
