Hocus Pocus has become a fan favorite since its release in 1993. It embodies the spirit of the Halloween Season, and let’s be honest, you’ve watched it even when it wasn’t October.

The story follows the Sanderson Sisters and their adventure to become immortal. The protagonists Max, his sister Dani, his girlfriend, and Binx the cat are trying to stop the Sanderson Sisters from accomplishing their mission.

Filled with relatable and funny moments, Hocus Pocus is the number one movie you’ll want to watch this Halloween Season. So, here are eight moments as to why Hocus Pocus is the greatest Halloween movie of all time.

1. Sean Murray

Easily one of the best impromptu sing-alongs. Too bad if you sang, you kept dancing forever…


3. Winifred Sanderson

When this one line captures how you feel every morning.

4. Kenny Ortega

He directed the movie but was also the director of our favorite Disney trilogy to ever come about, High School Musical. We’re All In This Together, right?


5. Binx the Cat

He becomes best friends with Dani during the harrowing night they are trying to stop the Sanderson Sisters. He also risks his life more than once to save her.

6. Billy Butcherson

You didn’t know how much he hated Winifred until he could talk, but when he finally could, oh boy did you find out. I would hate her too if she sewed my mouth shut for all of eternity.


7. The Vacuum

17th-century witch riding a 20th-century invention, what’s not to love?

8. The Ending

The heart-wrenching moment when Binx is freed from being a cat and goes off to the afterlife with his sister. It was a definite tear-jerker.


So, curl up with some warm apple cider and enjoy the movie, but just remember it’s all just a bunch of Hocus Pocus!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
