It is that time of year again. Leaves are changing and falling, everyone is starting to look for that perfect costume, all the while trying to figure out if they should go out on Halloween or stay in to watch classics. We all know that the debate for what movie to watch always drifts between scary, horrifyingly scary, and a classic. And in the end the real decision comes down to, "do we want to watch 'Halloweentown' or do we want to watch 'Hocus Pocus'?" And of course no one can ever possibly make that decision so you just end up watching a movie marathon of all the "Halloweentown" movies (except the last, because lets be honest, did they really think that no one would notice that Marnie was different?) and then round off the night with some of the worlds most famous sisters, the Sanderson Sisters. Now, if you are anything like me, you know all of these movies backwards and forwards, especially "Hocus Pocus." But have you ever actually noticed how ridiculous some of the scenes are in this movie? I mean honestly, these witches may be great with magic but sometimes their skills are lacking.
1. What exactly is Winnie doing? Doesn't she realize her hands are empty and therefore have nothing to throw?

2. The sisters say that they are only spinsters, not witches, yet their house is physically glowing and releasing a purple smoke from the outside ...
3. The sisters have more color in their faces in this scene, when they are supposed to be dying, than they do the entire movie. The only sign of aging is the hair color going white ...
4. The famous threesome is actually posed to die ... hands on heads, tongues lolligagging, and all. OBVIOUSLY they weren't actually finished.
5. "Yeah I'm not at my own house but I am just going to collapse on this pile of hay to cry, I'm sure this pumpkin serves as an EXTREMELY comfy pillow."
6. How did anyone not pick up on her name, I mean she is literally announcing it and everyone in this town claims to know her story. Seriously, how did someone not connect the dots as to who she is?
7. As the saying goes, you never see a witch without her ... vacuum cleaner? I mean they are all cleaning appliances right?
8. Somehow, centuries later, they are still living off the same child and haven't become those old ladies through the entire movie ...
9. Was Max really the only dumb virgin in the entire city that tried to light the candle?
10. If Binx is finally freed, why doesn't he pass through Dani when he kissed her in his ghost form?
11. Bunny Ears. Super Casual.
As you can see, this classic has completely ridiculous moments, as do other movies of this time. But that doesn't make this classic any less worthy of being watched on Halloween! I am sure there are plenty of other moments like these. Next time you watch, see how many you can spot, and always remember,
