Summary: The movie was great for all ages
Review: I first saw this movie with my children back when it was first released in 1993. I remember my daughter made her Mom take her out of the movie...i stayed and watched the end. It was great for Halloween. Now this week we watched it again...and my daughter sat through it all and thought it was cool. We just bought it and it will likely become a Halloween tradition.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Halloween Film Tradition!!!!!!!
Review: A word of warning: Parents of children under 7 please heed the PG rating if you wish to avoid the inevitable nightmares this movie will cause!

I first caught Hocus Pocus during a Disney Channel free preview, and was, to say the least, reluctant in watching it. But about halfway through (and through the visual stimuli of Vinessa Shaw) I found myself actually enjoying the movie. The next time it was on I watched again. Thus, a Halloween tradition was born. Watching for the eventual appearance of this movie on Disney proved somewhat tedious and so I made the purchase. Now it's a staple Halloween viewing at my house that the entire family enjoys. It did used to scare the pants off my sister (there are some pretty heavy elements to this film, such as the death of a sibling and the witches desire to eat children) but now that she's older she enjoys it as much, if not more, than I do. For the guys there are two lovely ladies in the cast that make this worth viewing, Sarah Jessica Parker and Vinessa Shaw. For the kiddies (the target audience) there's trick or treating, witches, a talking cat, ghosts, and fun for all! If you have kids or ever were one yourself, or if you just love Halloween, take Hocus Pocus for a spin. It'll put a spell on you!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spooky Fun
Review: This movie is packed with fun when 300 year old witches come back from the dead to teach the small town of Salem (Oregon) a lesson. Throughout the whole movie, these witches learn to deal with modern life, from thinking a road was a black river, to asking a young man for his driver permit. Anyone, of any age will love this movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FUN!!
Review: I have to admit Nightmare before Christmas is my favorite halloween movie BUT this is a close second! It's one of those great family movies you can watch it over and over. I loved it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: WE LOVE IT!!
Review: We have rented this movie about 1000 times. This is the movie my 3 year old wants to rent everytime we go to the movie rental store. It is a funny movie with lots of neat special effects that kids of all ages enjoy. The only negative thing I can say about it is that the word "virgin" is used several times in the movie. When my 9 year old asked me what that word meant, I had a hard time answering her. Other than that, I really like the movie alot.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The critics were definitely wrong!
Review: I have never been able to understand why this movie did so badly at the box office. Not only does it have a rather original plot, but the ambience is terrific! Great photography and Halloween atmosphere. But it has two other things going for it that I especially found refreshing. The young boy who brings the witches back can only do so because it takes a virgin to light the black flame candle. It was so lovely to see a movie celebrating male virginity without snickering. The other plus is the fact that despite his considering his little sister a nuisance in the beginning, he later risks his life to save her. The sibling tie was very strong and I found this a positive role model for all kids to see. The three witches are wonderful. Yes, it's a little gory for young kids, but it's fantasy after all. As an adult, I loved it and watch it every Halloween.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hands-down Halloween Classic!
Review: A teenager (Omri Katz who plays MAX) tries to impress a possible love interest and lights the famed black-flame candle. With their curse brokend, Bette Midler ( Winifred Sanderson ), Sarah Jessica Parker ( Sarah Sanderson ) and Kathy Najimy ( Mary Sanderson ) are released into the future and led this Halloween active story. All they need to remain alive forever is a little girl (Thora Birch DANI) - - on toast! Great fun, laughs and with Bette Midler--sensational song. Though this is not a muscial per se. This is Halloween fun elevated to instant classic. "Wiggle your toes and open your eyes - -"

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: My Favorite Halloween Movie
Review: I am proud to say that I saw this movie when it was in theaters. I fell in love with it! The Sanderson Sisters are the FUNNIEST trio! It can be slightly scary for little kids, but it's areal crack-up. It's a shame that they never released the soundtrack. Beleive me, this is one movie every home should have. I espcially like the end, where Thackery Binx is a human ghost. And his sister is so sweet! Hocus Pocus is the all time greatest Halloween movie ever!
