It's Just A Bunch Of Hocus Pocus
disneydetail

Hocus Pocus, debuting in 1993, is one of my all time favorite Halloween movies. I will admit that, it does scare me, every time I watch it. There are many elements that make this classic, the ultimate Halloween movie. I want to share with you the elements, that keep me hooked on this witchy cauldron bubbling classic.

This movie has everything from witches wanting to feed off of children to protective older brothers to the funniest dead guy around the graveyard.

1. The Sanderson Sister Witches.

Winfred, Sarah, and Mary Sanderson are the comedy and horror of this movie. They are the main storyline and the most famous witches in Salem, Massachusetts.


2. Thackery Binx is portrayed by Sean Murray.

Before he was NCIS Special Agent, McGee, he played the oh so dashingly handsome, older brother of Emily Binx.

3. Witty comebacks.

I mean, come on, who doesn't love all the witty and funny comebacks?


4. Billy becoming Max, Alison, and Dani's protector.

He's all right for a 300 or so year old dead man. He did lent that dug up grave to Dani, to help save her from the witches. He is a good guy in my book!


5. When Max decides to not believe the power of the black flame candle.

Bad things happen when you don't follow instructions, Max! Oh silly boy, thinks he can outsmart everyone in the town and their "myths". He was wrong and it was one of the highlights of the movie.


6. Protective Brothers: Thackery and Max.

How many brothers do you know that would try to fight 3 wicked witches for their little sisters? Coolest brothers ever!



7. The goodbye scene to Thackery and Emily.

When Thackery reunites with his sister and they have the funniest two lines. This is my favorite dialogue ever!


8. The connection between Max and Alison.

Aren't they cute? One thing, when moving to a different place, that worked in Max's favor was meeting Alison. The couple that fights witches and saves the children of Salem, stays together.

9. Binx's promise to Dani.

Binx as a cat and as human, are equally winning over my heart.

I hope you all immediately go and watch this spectacular Halloween classic, after reading some great parts from it.

October is a time to binge watch Hocus Pocus all month long!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
