Hocus Pocus has become a fan favorite since its release in 1993. It embodies the spirit of the Halloween Season, and let’s be honest, you’ve watched it even when it wasn’t October.

The story follows the Sanderson Sisters and their adventure to become immortal. The protagonists Max, his sister Dani, his girlfriend, and Binx the cat are trying to stop the Sanderson Sisters from accomplishing their mission.

Filled with relatable and funny moments, Hocus Pocus is the number one movie you’ll want to watch this Halloween Season. So, here are eight moments as to why Hocus Pocus is the greatest Halloween movie of all time.

1. Sean Murray

Easily one of the best impromptu sing-alongs. Too bad if you sang, you kept dancing forever…


3. Winifred Sanderson

When this one line captures how you feel every morning.

4. Kenny Ortega

He directed the movie but was also the director of our favorite Disney trilogy to ever come about, High School Musical. We’re All In This Together, right?


5. Binx the Cat

He becomes best friends with Dani during the harrowing night they are trying to stop the Sanderson Sisters. He also risks his life more than once to save her.

6. Billy Butcherson

You didn’t know how much he hated Winifred until he could talk, but when he finally could, oh boy did you find out. I would hate her too if she sewed my mouth shut for all of eternity.


7. The Vacuum

17th-century witch riding a 20th-century invention, what’s not to love?

8. The Ending

The heart-wrenching moment when Binx is freed from being a cat and goes off to the afterlife with his sister. It was a definite tear-jerker.


So, curl up with some warm apple cider and enjoy the movie, but just remember it’s all just a bunch of Hocus Pocus!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
