At the time of writing this blog, the classic Halloween movie Hocus Pocus is a staggering 30 years old. Some people who enjoy the original film today weren't even alive when it was first published. Or perhaps they were quite young.
While the movie targeted preteens in 1993, many aging millennials and xenniels still watch it every year. In our household, it is viewed several times a year, since me and my wife are both xenniels, and we both love the movie.
We couldn't wait for the sequel that was released in 2022!
Warning, Hocus Pocus 2 may be very sentimental and nostalgic for viewers in their 30s and 40s.
Hocus Pocus was one of the best PG Halloween movies to ever hit the scene. I mean, it's not remotely scary, but it should be right?
3 evil sisters were resurrected from the dead, put all the grownups in a trance so that they could hunt down and drain the lives out of all the children for the purpose of immortality?
Pretty scary stuff if you think about it. Yet, it's a feel-good holiday romp if there ever was one!
Hocus Pocus was such a hit in fact that many tourists go to Salem, MA with the Hocus Pocus House on the top of their list of things to visit while in town.
If you're like my wife, you probably think you know everything there is to know about Hocus Pocus. We'll test your knowledge so that you do not run amuck spreading misinformation!
