10 Reasons why Hocus Pocus is the Best Halloween Movie

With all of the scary Halloween movies out there, there is one that stands above the rest. Hocus Pocus was released 23 years ago, and although it wasn't a hit right away, it later became a cult classic. Here are 10 reasons why Hocus Pocus is the best Halloween movie of all time.

1. It has a great cast.


Some of the movie's awesome cast members include Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Sean Murray (McGee in NCIS!). Every character has a vital role in the movie, and without one of them, it wouldn't be the same.


2. There is humor throughout the entire movie.


3. There's history involved.

The Salem Witch Trials were briefly talked about in the beginning of the film, but they actually ended about six months before the Sanderson sisters were convicted of performing witchcraft.


4. The cast was just as close in real life as they were in the movie.

In an interview on from Good Morning America, Vinessa Shaw, who played Allison, said that they spent a lot free time together on and off set; they looked up to the older actors as mentors.


5. Thackery Binx was the best big brother ever.


6. The Sanderson Sisters can go down in history for being the best trio of sisters in movie history.


7. The music and spells are completely captivating.


8. Dani had the best one-liners.

She also proved that all little sisters were sassy.


9. The 90's references are on point.

Max and Dani's mom being Madonna for Halloween and all of the tye-dye, just to name a few of them.


10, Lastly, it shows much we would do to save our siblings.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
