8 Reasons Why 'Hocus Pocus' Is The Best Halloween Movie
YouTube

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!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
