Hocus Pocus Halloween Ideas (Decoration + Costume)

What is Hocus Pocus About?

The movie (from 1993) is about three kids who accidentally free a trio of witches, who after being gone for 300 years are brought back from the dead by a virgin who lit the Black Flame Candle.

The kids then have to figure out a way to stop them, before they steal the souls of children everywhere.

A Halloween Classic Movie

It has become a Halloween classic, obsessively watched—and rewatched—year after year, and every Halloween, the stars are asked the same question: Will there ever be a sequel? I hope so!!

The Halloween tradition in our house is to have a movie night and watch the Disney movie Hocus Pocus.

Hocus Pocus has always been one of my favorite movies.

From the scene-stealing Thackeray Binx to the 90’s fashion, the Sanderson sisters, and the whole way the movie is styled, the movie is a classic for a reason.
