Hocus Pocus (1993)

There aren’t many Halloween-themed movies fit for both little children and their parents. This - but mostly the annual showings of the film by Disney - is why I believe Hocus Pocus has become a cult classic. Though the plot may not be original and there are a couple of rough bits, the special effects are quite good and its trio of witches is memorable.

On Halloween, 1693, in Salem, Massachusetts, witches Winifred, Sarah and Mary Sanderson (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy) are hanged after draining the life out of a little girl to restore their youth. Before their execution, Winifred casts a curse that will resurrect them if a virgin lights their Black Flame Candle during a full moon on All Hallows’ Eve. In 1993, Max Dennison (Omri Katz) tries to impress his classmate Allisson (Vinessa Shaw) while taking his little sister Dani (Thora Birch) trick-or-treating and accidentally bringing the three sorcerers back to life.

I get why the movie is a fan favorite… without feeling like I will ever crave to see it again. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy are clearly having fun as this trio of dimwitted spellcasters. All three have iconic looks that would be a lot of fun to bring to life for your own October 31st celebration. They provide a couple of good laughs here and there. As for the heroes, the young stars are appealing, particularly Thora Birch. Their characters are pretty stock, leaning towards bland but when they’re teamed up with Thackery Binx (voiced by Jason Marsden), a 300-year old boy who was transformed into a cat and cursed with immortality, you can’t help but smile. Seeing a live-action talking kitty is just delightful, whether you’re watching this movie or an adaptation of Sabrina, The Teenage Witch.

The biggest issue with Hocus Pocus is that it doesn’t know what to brew with its ingredients. Sarah Sanderson flirts with practically every man she sees - but so what? It’s just something for Parker to do while Najimy sniffs around for children and Midler scolds them for their blunders. All the witches need is one child for them to stay alive past sunrise but they’re so inept you never feel threatened by them. This might be a feature for young children watching but for grown-ups, the threat is non-existent. The film plays with the idea of becoming a musical in two scenes. First, when Sarah lures a child to the Sanderson home with a song, then again in the present when Winifred (not Sarah?) hypnotizes the adults at a Halloween with a rendition of I Put a Spell on You. Another idea that goes nowhere, though I'm sure fans would call it one of their favorite scenes.

You could draw the heroes' arcs with your eyes closed, making the villains a standout by far. They aren't badly written, it’s just that you’ve seen everything there is to know about them elsewhere, from the older brother who doesn’t appreciate his younger sister until she is threatened to the generic high school bullies who prey on him and the pretty classmate he befriends and will eventually share a kiss with. For a brief moment I thought maybe the film would play with the idea that Max is a virgin. Maybe he and her would… but then I remembered this is a Disney movie made in the early ‘90s.

If you’ve never seen Hocus Pocus before, you expect it to be this big deal thanks for the star power and the fact that we’re still talking about it in 2022. The truth is, this movie is workmanlike, at best. Unless you grew up with Hocus Pocus, you're unlikely to call this an instant favorite. Its popularity might even leave you scratching your head.

Hergé (Belgian, May 22, 1907 - March 3, 1983)

Belgian author and artist, 1907-1983. Translated into over thirty languages, Hergé’s adventure stories about the brave and resourceful young reporter Tintin are popular with both children and adults throughout the world In twenty-four book-length comic strips, Tintin and his faithful fox terrier, Snowy, embark on a series of thrilling global adventures set in remarkably detailed, meticulously researched landscapes.

Hergé. whose real name is Georges Remi (he devised his pen name by inverting his initials to R.G.), pub­lished the first Tintin adventure in Le Petit Vingtième, the children’s supplement to Le Vingtieme Siecle, in 1929. Published in book form in 1930 as Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, this primitive work is the only one of the series that was not later translated into color, with the exception of Tintin and the Alpha-Art, a work unfin­ished when Herge died and left in sketch form at his request.

The second adventure, Tintin in the Congo (1931), reflects a contemporary European view of Africa based on ignorance and portrays the African people as gullible and naive. Neither Congo nor the fanatically anti-Communist Soviets has yet been published in the United States.

In Tintin in America (1932), Tintin takes on Chicago mobster Al Capone, and Hergé’s sociopolitical satire becomes more sophisticated as he depicts the National Guard driving the Blackfoot Indians away from their ancestral lands. But it is probably The Blue Lotus (1936) that marks Hergé’s refinement of detail and concern for accuracy.

After befriending a young Chinese student who urged him to avoid common stereotypes, Hergé began to delve further into research of the physical and cultural landscape. The story is a clear protest of Japa­nese expansionism on the Chinese mainland and of the treatment of the Chinese people by many Westerners. Hergé’s friend appears as young Chang in The Blue Lotus and later in Tintin in Tibet (i960), a story of true friendship Hergé claims as his favorite.

Ostensibly a journalist, Tintin is seen reporting to his editor only once in the series and follows his sense of adventure and justice rather than any particular assign­ment. In the course of his adventures he encounters a colorful cast of characters who become his cohorts: The bumbling, ineffectual detectives Thompson and Thom­son, the rough old sea dog Captain Haddock with his legendary penchant for drinking whiskey and hurling passionate but innocent insults, and the absent-minded but ingenious Professor Cuthbert Calculus provide both help and hindrance throughout Tintin’s travels.

All of these characters find their way aboard the first manned rocket bound, for the moon in Destination Moon (1953) and Explorers on the Moon (1954), in which Tintin, Snowy Captain Haddock, and Thompson and Thomson set foot on the moon fifteen years before Neil Armstrong landed in Apollo 11.

Hergé constructed a detailed scale model of a German U2 rocket to create the drawings, and his extensive scientific research gives the books remarkable accuracy and foresight. While most of the Tintin stories are noticeably devoid of women, opera singer Bianca Castafiore takes center stage as a strong female character in The Castafiore Emerald (1963).

Charles de Gaulle once remarked, “My only interna­tional rival is Tintin.”

More than 400 Canadian artists from the worlds of music, film and literature are denouncing what they describe as "alarming and destructive" anti-trans legislation in an open letter released Sunday by music superstars Tegan and Sara.

The list of stars who signed the letter includes actor Elliot Page, Great Big Sea frontman Alan Doyle, actress Elisha Cuthbert, folk music legend Neil Young, recent Grammy winner Allison Russell and the two surviving members of classic children's entertainment act Sharon, Lois and Bram.

"The anti-trans policies taking root in Canada go beyond discrimination — they present a clear risk to the mental and physical well-being of trans individuals throughout the country," reads the letter.

The letter calls out Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's planned pronoun policies for gender diverse children in schools, as well as proposed restrictions for youth seeking gender-affirming care.

Hocus Pocus and the All-New Sequel

The book Hocus Pocus and the All-New Sequel by A. W. Jantha was released in 2018, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the 1993 film, Hocus Pocus. The first part is based on the screenplay of the original movie by Mick Garris, Neil Cuthbert and story by David Kirschner and again, Mick Garris. The second half is the sequel that takes place twenty-five years after the original.

I’m only going to be focusing on the first half of the story to see what’s different in the novelization and the original film and what new information was added to it or if there was any other changes.

Why was Emily Binx picked out of all the other Salem kids?

In the film we only know that Emily was lured away by Sarah’s singing. But in the novel it was revealed that she and the other children in Salem were getting dreams for months, tempting them to go into the forest to find the Sanderson sisters’ cottage.

It wasn’t until the next day, in the early morning of October 31 of 1693, that Emily was lured away by the song. But before that it seems that Sanderson sister’s had specifically targeted Emily. She wasn’t afraid of them because whenever she ran into them in town and they were always nice to her and constantly complimenting her.

It’s not show in the film, but in the novel Emily was reading a book the day before she was lured away...

The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan, which is a Puritan story in the form of an allegory about the struggles of a pilgrim trying to stay true to his beliefs, avoid temptations, and remain on the narrow path to heaven.

How old was Emily when she died?

She was eight years old.

Where did the Sanderson sisters get the dead man’s toe for the potion?

When Thackery was watching them to find the right time to rescue his sister, he realized that the big toes came from...

George Flamsteed, the kind old fisherman whose boat had capsized in late September. He’d washed ashore untouched—except that he’d been missing both his big toes.

How old was Thackery Binx when he was turned into a immortal black cat?

He was 13 years old.

What happened to the spell book when the Sanderson sisters were hanged?

It was dropped to the ground by a frighten boy named Elijah Morris, who was the judge’s apprentice and Thackery’s best friend. While everyone was distracted and began to shuffle off, the spell book was closed and lifted.

“As the book rose, the eyelid on its cover blinked open and the watery green iris searched out its rescuer. Through a film of cataracts and rain, the spell book’s eye saw thick dark curls obscuring a face, and then it was tucked beneath an arm and secreted away.”

Before being hanged what did Winifred noticed?

There was someone in the back of the crowd. Winifred looked amused to see them and later on it was revealed by Allison that...

“According to town records, this went missing after the Sanderson sisters were hanged. They found it in another woman’s house just a few days later. I guess she wanted to try it out for herself.”

What new sneakers did Max get and why did he get them?

They’re black Nikes which he got from his parents as a pity gift for the abrupt move to Massachusetts. But in the film the sneakers were specifically Nike Air Trainer Platinum.

Why did Max’s family move to Salem and when?

Max’s dad accepted the transfer to a new management position in Salem. It happened in October, only two weeks from Halloween.

How old is Dani?

She’s eight years old.

What’s the name of the high school that Max and Alison go to?

Jacob Bailey High School

When Dani embarrassed Max in front of Alison about how, “Max likes your yabos,” Dani said. “In fact, he loves them.” We also learned that they have a aunt in Seattle.

“Max, meanwhile, wondered how he could possibly redeem himself, or at least explain himself. He also wondered whether his parents would mind if Dani mysteriously went missing and ended up living with their aunt in Seattle.”

Dani didn’t want to go the the Sanderson’s house with Max and Alison, but he promised to do anything she wanted if she did this for him.

Dani patted his shoulder to quiet him. “Okay. Next year we go trick-or-treating as Wendy and Peter Pan”—she leaned in close, her nose almost touching his—“with tights, or it’s no deal.”

We learned that Max went to a baseball camp.

Dani sighed and looked at Allison. “Max failed out of baseball camp,” she said, sounding resigned.

Max tricked the Sanderson sisters with the sprinklers, but before they left...

“Winifred rescued the Black Flame Candle and stuck it in a tall kitchen cupboard, safely away from the strange metal clouds in the ceiling that spilled rain all over her mother’s furniture and carpet.”

In Winifred’s memory it is revealed that there’s a fourth Sanderson sister...

“She’d stood there and clutched the gate and watched a graveyard wedding take place more than three hundred years before—had watched another Sanderson say her vows in the only place where Winifred and her sisters didn’t dare intervene.”

Why did they want more children souls?

Because, you great buffoon,” Winifred said, wondering why the Devil had cursed her mother with so many senseless offspring, we want to live forever, not just until tomorrow. The more children we snatch, the longer we live.”

Why did Winifred go after Dani when Sarah’s song had lured plenty of other children to the house?

“Besides, I want to get that little rat-faced kid that called me—”

“Oh,” Mary said, rushing over, “don’t say it.”

“Ugly?” asked Sarah.

Winifred and Mary both cringed.

“She really hurt my feelings,” whimpered Winifred. “She doesn’t even know me.”

What were those two big cages previously used for?

“Once there, she summoned two of her favorite cages from the closet. They’d once housed Winifred’s prized phoenix twins—the ones Mary set free out of pity at the age of twelve.”

When Alison suggested to use the spell book to find a way to helped Binx, she discovered that Winifred wasn’t the last one to use it. It was someone named...

Elizabeth Sanderson

The film ends with the exhausted parents leaving the Town Hall after being freed from the curse. Then it switches to Jay and Ernie still dangling in their cages, singing ‘Row, Row, Row, Your Boat’, then the camera pans over to the spell book as the eye opens once more. However, in the novel...

Meanwhile, on its podium Winifred’s spell book slowly opened its eye and looked around, feeling the loss of its master. But then it rose into the air. Jay and Ernie screamed and shook the bars of their cages at the strange sight. The book soared out of the window and into the early morning light. It floated above the cemetery and through the town square, passing the crowd of adults who filed, stumbling, out of Town Hall after a night of endless dancing.

It continued flying, higher and higher, seeking its master...

It wouldn’t stop until it found her.

From that we learned that Elizabeth Sanderson, the fourth Sanderson sister is hinted to be still alive. Because who else would the spell book be referring to when it knows Winifred is back in Hell? All it has to do is just wait for her there where she can easily find it.

Even though I focused on the first half of the book, there’s a few things from the the All-New Sequel that I wanted to make a note of on here. Such as...

To prevent another virgin from lighting the remaining stub of the Black Flame Candle...

[Max] Dad bought a safe to lock up the stub of the Black Flame Candle.

...is locked in a safe in our attic. My mom checks on it twice a year, just to make sure no one has gotten their hands on it.

To convince Dani to visit the Sanderson sisters’ cottage, Max made a deal with her that for next Halloween he’ll wear the Peter Pan costume, with the tights while she goes as Wendy. Max kept his promised because...

When Poppy was looking for the key to the Sanderson sisters’ house, she saw a framed photo of her dad and aunt Dani when they were younger, dressed as Peter Pan and Wendy.

We discover that it wasn’t just a random woman that spotted Emily being lured away by the song from her window. 

It was actually Elizabeth Sanderson who tried to stop her, but when she looked away to answer her husband Emily had left.

The reason Elizabeth took the spell book was because...

Once my sisters were hanged, I took up the book to try to bring Emily back from the grave, but it only led a hateful mob right to my doorstep.

At the very end it’s revealed that William "Billy" Butcherson has a brother who might be a witch too, and had his eye taken to be used in the creation of the spell book.

Year of the Alice Day 273

This is my first (and hopefully only) one-year project (which will be only 365 days) and this one is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland-themed.

In this pic, Sarah and Mary Sanderson found a rocking horsefly, much to Winifred's annoyance.

(Note: This is for the premier of Hocus Pocus 2.)

Made with Microsoft Paint.

Enjoy! ♠️♥️♣️♦️
