Bad Movies We Love: Hocus Pocus

Whip up a cauldron of haterade, because this week’s Bad Movie We Love is a foray into children’s Halloween cinema. It’s a bargain bin Addams Family ripoff with spooky gusts of wind beneath its wings. It’s Hocus Pocus , my pretties, Disney’s perennial Halloween favorite for people who were exactly 7 in 1993. (Present!)
