31 Days of Halloween: Day 27 – Hocus Pocus
Witches suck, especially when it’s witches who are looking to suck the souls of children to feed their eternal youth. In Hocus Pocus, three Salem witches were put to death for stealing the life-force from children 300 years ago, but when youthfully stupid Max lights a magic candle, they come back to life on Halloween night. Can this group of teenagers and kids stop the three Sanderson Sisters from absorbing their lives before sunlight? Will Max and a talking cat named Binx be able to hold off the witches and stop their sinister plans? Watch Hocus Pocus this Halloween to find out.
The movie is a pretty ridiculous kids flick from the early 90′s, but there’s a sense of nostalgia for me. However, I have three problems with the movie. First, Sarah Jessica Parker is in it. Fanboyz.net’s Roman Chavez said it best when he described her face as looking like a foot. Second, in my experience, talking animals always have some nefarious plans in store. Max was too trusting and should have put that sucker’s 9 lives out the instant it spoke. Last, no one knows that Doug Jones (whose credits include Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Hellboy, and Pan’s Labyrinth) plays the resurrected form of Bette Midler’s husband. A tragedy of ignorance I believe.

Hahaha I use to love this movie! This movie taught me what a virgin was and nearly got me suspended from elementary school
why did you almost get suspended from elementary school moves? did you try to summon witches?
Haha no. A friend and I went around asking all the girls if they were virgins and laughed when they said no and all kinds of parents got mad
