Disney Hocus Pocus is a Halloween film which follows the misadventures of three witch sisters—the Sandersons—played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy.

Accidentally resurrected by a skeptical teenager named Max Dennison, his younger sister Dani, and their friend Allison, the Sandersons wreak havoc on Salem, Massachusetts, as they seek to reclaim their youth by consuming the life force of children.

The heart of “Hocus Pocus” lies in its captivating performances, particularly Midler’s portrayal of the flamboyant Winifred Sanderson, whose comedic antics and musical number “I Put a Spell on You” have become iconic. The film’s atmosphere is augmented by its humor, charming special effects, and a nostalgic ’90s vibe, making it a perennial favorite for Halloween marathons.

Despite receiving mixed reviews upon initial release, “Hocus Pocus” has since gained cult status, celebrated for its campy charm and endearing characters. Its enduring popularity led to the highly anticipated sequel, “Hocus Pocus 2,” which premiered in 2022, further cementing its place in pop culture.
