The 2016 Presidential Candidates as Hocus Pocus Characters

because nothing is sacred anymore

With all three debates behind us, I think we deserve a good laugh this election cycle. So forget for a minute the dooming possibility of tangerine Caligula running our country and reminisce on a spooky childhood classic.


Gary Johnson- Sarah Sanderson

Much like this Sanderson sister sings to lure the children of Salem to their house, Johnson uses his siren song of simply being a third party candidate to attract disillusioned voters. Naive to the modern world and perhaps not the sharpest of the sisters, Sarah Sanderson has plenty of "Aleppo moments" throughout the film.


Hillary Clinton- Winifred Sanderson

Both are unarguably the HBIC. These leaders of the pack have no time for trivial matters, and much like Winnie quite literally shut up Billy Butcherson, HRC shut down every man who told her she couldn't reach the top. Hillary shattered the glass ceiling, Winifred shattered the Dennison's roof. Both have a rather rough history with appealing to the youths.


Jill Stein- Mary Sanderson

Perhaps the lesser known of the trio, Mary Sanderson pretty much serves only one purpose: to sniff out children. The single-issue Green Party candidate is using her campaign to promote a sustainable society. Stein isn't actually half bad at "sniffing out" children either, as many of her supporters are millennials formerly for Bernie Sanders.


Donald Trump- The Devil

I really couldn't resist on this one. A close runner-up was the iconic bully "Ice". But much like Trump, the Devil -or as the Sanderson Sisters call him, "The Master"- is kind of just in it for the ride. He played along with the witches' fantasy because he enjoyed the attention. A strong woman (the devil's wife) eventually handled the situation and ended the reckless facade.



I really hope this didn't just ruin the movie for you. In the words of President Obama: "Don't boo, vote" (unless it's Halloween, then do both).

It's a pain to learn but it's definitely worth it in the end.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time.
