The Ridiculous Things You Never Noticed In Hocus Pocus

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,

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.

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.

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.
