Why Everybody Should Watch the Movie "Hocus Pocus"

In just a few days October will be here, and you know what that means! Every single stations will be showing some kind of Halloween movie. There is an array of movies that you can watch, but there is just one that I think should be required for everybody to watch- Hocus Pocus.

For those of you that don't know what Hocus Pocus is about, a boy named Max and his family move to Salem, Massachusetts. While taking his little sister, Dani, treat- or- treating, they bump into Max's crush, Allison. The trio then goes to a haunted house, where Allison beings to explain the creepy stories about the house. Max unfazed lights a black candle inside the house. This brings back three witch sisters- Winfred, Sarah, and Mary Sanderson. Due to the fact that a virgin has to light a candle. So now it's up to Max, Allison, Dani, and a talking cat they meet, to stop the witches from becoming immortal, and reeking havoc on the town again.

First of all, Max is such a cutie! When I watched this movie as a kid i was in love with Max! Also one of my favorite witches was Sarah. Sarah is played by none other than Sarah Jessica Parker. For Sex and the City fans you haven't seen Parker act until you watch Hocus Pocus.

If you love songs then boy is this the movie for you. Now, before you say I don't like musicals! I wouldn't classify Hocus Pocus being a full blown musical, the movie had great musical scenes. Hocus Pocus had songs like "I Put a Spell on You" and "Come Little Children." When you become a die hard fan of the movie you will be belting right along with the songs (and adding them to your Spotify playlist).

What kind of Halloween movie is it without having some element of a cat? Thackery Binx comes through! Thackery Binx is technically a boy who was turned into a cat, but he is one sassy kitty. That helps the group so much, and what happens to him at the end of the movie is just pure cinematic gold (pulls on your heart strings, let me tell you that).

The movie has so many memorable lines! When somebody says to Winfred "Go to hell!" and she replies "Oh, I’ve been there thank you, I found it quite lovely." Another good was also made by Winfred when she said " Why did I have to be cursed with idiot sisters?" A question I think we all question when our siblings do something stupid. I think one of the best lines of the whole movie is "I waited 300 years for a virgin to light a candle."

Hocus Pocus is a cult classic, and one of those movies that you watch any time it comes on TV. Some even dare to say the movie is one of Disney channels best films others say "it's just a bunch of hocus pocus". I guess its up to you to decide!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
