Hocus Pocus has become a must-watch during Halloween season, and though theres now Hocus Pocus 2, I have a couple of problems with it as it didnt live up to the greatness of the first movie. Back in 1993, Kenny Ortega brought the fantasy comedy movie Hocus Pocus, which introduced the world to the Sanderson Sisters: Winifred (Bette Midler), Mary (Kathy Najimy), and Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker). Although it received mixed reviews during its initial release and didnt do well at the box office, Hocus Pocus is now a cult classic thanks to its annual airings on Disney Channel.
