Accidentally brought back to life in Salem on Halloween night, three witches, known as the Sanderson sisters, attempt to steal the life essence from the town’s children so they can have eternal life. They are outwitted by Max Dennison, his little sister, Dani, his girlfriend, Allison, and Thackery Binx, who was changed into a cat for trying to interfere with the witches centuries earlier.

This spooky classic stars Bette Midler (Winifred), Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah), Kathy Najimy (Mary), Omri Katz (Max), Thora Birch (Dani) and Vinessa Shaw (Allison).

Join the APO for Hocus Pocus in Concert featuring Emmy®-winning composer John Debney’s musical score performed live in sync with the film.
