After moving to Salem, Mass., teenager Max Dennison explores an abandoned house with his sister Dani and their new friend, Allison. After dismissing a story Allison tells as superstitious, Max accidentally frees a coven of evil witches who used to live in the house. Now, with the help of a magical cat, the kids must steal the witches' book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal.
"Released in 1993, Hocus Pocus was initially met with tepid reception from both audiences and critics alike. The story follows three witch sisters (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy) who are brought back to life by a teenage boy's mistake on Halloween night, who must then spend the evening trying to make sure their return is not permanent. Over time, however, the film has achieved cult status among those who grew up with it, captivated by its camp aesthetic and wild performances (Midler in particular is fantastic). It may not offer much for adult audiences, but children will have an absolute blast."
