Hocus Pocus 1993

I like this one. "Kiddie" enough that I can watch with the youngest, but with a bunch of older humor to still be pretty fun. And I always forget how dark this can be at times... Kids die! And early! I think this does really well at ratcheting up the tension quick (these kids could die too!) while being able to present the witches in a "fun" way to kids... but man, that opening is dark for a kids movie.

I love the scenes with the witches wandering around on the kid packed streets of Halloween. The scenes with the Marshalls gets me everytime, "Master" dancing in the dining room with Sarah Jessica Parker ("THEY call me Master!"). Mom dressed as Madonna and the parents joking about parties in L.A... Watching Sarah Jessica Parker soooo wanting to "play with" all the non-witches. "ICE". Yeah, the non-Bette witches themselves can be a little too idiotic / annoying at times, but overall I think the movie does a good job blending together a bunch of different fun moments.
