“Verified Purchase I'm completely aware that this is a kids' film and everything, but this is a film I've liked since my childhood, and even now at the age of 19, I enjoy watching this classic film.

October 2021 Horrorfest (70 movies items)"Re-watch - Oct. 31st I gave the kiddo some options for how we could end the night, & she opted for something set on Halloween because "we can watch other scary movies any time." Thus we settled in with Hocus Pocus, a film I hadn't seen in almost 20 years. It was more fun than I'd recalled, and you can tell Midler, Najimy, & Parker had a blast in their respective roles. The child actors are a mixed bag, but in a way the weaker ones help keep it fun too. It wound up being a good way to end the mo"
