Today, I’m basically committing millennial treason by making this movie reaction about why Hocus Pocus is actually a terrible movie. Lol, sorry, but it needs to be said! While Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy are iconic as the Sanderson Sisters, it’s all too clear why this movie was a box office flop back in 1993, before becoming a cult classic. Will the sequel, Hocus Pocus 2 be any better? We’ll find out! As always, don’t forget to like and subscribe!

Hocus Pocus was one of my favorite childhood movies. I would get so excited in September when Disney Channel played their Hallo-week line up teasers.
I think one of the reasons Hocus Pocus has become a classic is because it was shown so often on the Disney Channel during the Halloween season. A similar trend can be seen in the history of the 1946 film “It’s a Wonderful Life”. The film was box office flop, but when it entered the public domain in 1974 TV stations jumped on the free Christmas content. The movie was played non-stop during the season, so people started to associate the movie with the season and eventually it became a Christmas staple.
Hocus Pocus also serves as the first big movie role for Doug Jones as Billy Butcherson. Though he has 150 film/TV credits on IMBD he is best known for his non-human portrayals like Abe Sapien (Hellboy), the Silver Surfer (Fantastic 4), the Faun and Pale Man (Pan’s Labyrinth), or the Creature (The Shape of Water). He is "the most famous actor that you’ve never seen".
Bonus Fun Fact: the dress Allison is wearing at the Halloween ball was worn by Michelle Pfeiffer in Dangerous Liaisons (1988) which won an Academy Award for Best Costume design.
I watched the second one this year and was cringing the entire time how cheesey it was 😭
I had no nostalgia attached to this movie so i couldn’t get through it but I do think its pretty good at creating atmosphere and a certain aesthetic that appeals to people
As a parent who had to explain what a virgin was to my 8 year old… thank you for seeing me.
I remember feeling confused by several plot points in this movie when I watched it as a child. All those feelings of confusion were put to the side by my IMMENSE sadness from the scene of the cat getting hit by a car 🥲 even as an adult that scene made me upset
When I saw this in theater as a kid I thought it was so Cheesy and dumb. But now as an adult with little kids I can appreciate the cheese and camp of it. I have to excuse some parts that don't quite make sense by it being a 90s movie lol
I figured Winnie turned to stone bc she actually put her feet down on hallowed ground. Then they all burst into glitter bc the spell was over at sunrise.
I love how this movie is how most of us found out what a virgin was
I love the shit out of that film. I love the shit out of Nick. Wtf do I do?!?! He’s going to make me see it for what it is! I’m scared
I was gearing up for a Worst Witch review within the hocus-pocus review and got very excited.
I love this crappy movie.
why is this take so hot and brave?
I'm actually shocked that human thackary's voice was dubbed over! Everyone involved did a fantastic job
Lol I asked my grandmother what a virgin was…. 😅 ummm yeah that was awkward as fuck.
I watched this movie for the first time in like 2016 and could NOT get over the fact that his name was thackery. To this day, my friend I watched it with and I call her cats thackery
The song lyric that makes no sense that I constantly reference with my sister is from Ski Mask's song, Foot Fungus. The lyric is "She gotta go through him just to get to me, yes, I'm the middleman"
it makes no sense! he would be the middleman. he could literally say "I'm no middleman" or "he's the middleman" and yet,…….
It took me YEARSSSSSS to understand that singing part was an enchantement. YEARS!!
I was always a Nightmare Before Christmas kid, so both me and my kid self agree fully with this video
Strangely I can remember the squashed cat part and I've lived in the UK all my life.
It’s not any fun to cancel you when you ask for it like this
The reason they only have until sunlight, is because the black flame candle only has enough magic to bring them back for one night. That's why they have to brew the potion, and kill the kids of salem.
Look guys! Someone without any real love and affection when they were younger!
I can't even listen to Never Really Over without even thinking about that lyric.
It was good to be a spooky lil kid in 1993. We had this, Nightmare Before Christmas, The Halloween Tree… it was a very spooky time. I loved this movie, and I always will, because it's off the rails and kind of terrible, but with a spooky autumn theme. That's a bunch of my favorite things all wrapped up in a neat little package starring Bette Midler.
This was the first movie that made me cry. I was so sad when Binx turned back into a ghost boy. I wanted to be Dani so bad, and live in a weird lighthouse room with my immortal talking cat. Then the talking cat wasn't immortal and I was UP. SET.
Nick please stop wearing tank tops I can't stop looking at those juicy pits
I think the reason Winnifred turns to stone is because she fell down onto "hollowed land" AKA the cemetery. Whereas the sisters die from the sunlight and poof.
The reason only Winifred turned to stone was because her feet touched the graveyard (hallowed ground that they can't set foot in) and that was what caused her to turn to stone. They all three explode because of their time running out. But her feet being on the ground of the graveyard was a blink and miss it moment, and they never explicitly say that the witches would turn to stone if they entered the graveyard, so I understand the confusion, as I was confused for years, too!
NOT THOSE BICEPS ON MY GOOD CHRISTIAN CHANNEL
I can’t lie I was ALSO jealous of Dani getting a kiss on the cheek from Thackeray. Because what the hell man?
The BRAVERY you have to post a video with that title.
7:18 THAT PUPPER
Great video, but: about that exhumed-Miss Frizzell statue at the end, everyone knows Miss Frizzel was an iconic lesbian (played by iconic lesbian Lily Tomlinson). So her husband couldn't have killed her; she only had a very best gal pal that she lived with and did everything with. She died of natural causes. Just saying.
Absolutely hated this movie. I hadn’t remembered much of it, but that it was an uncomfortable and traumatizing watch.
Nick I love you but I wanna see that like to dislike ratio XD
When i was little my family was religious so I wasn’t able to watch this till the other day as an adult and I finished the whole thing and all I could think was this was kinda dumb and doesn’t make a lot of sense same with Halloweentown
I'm aware it is bad… But I still like it and I'm not sorry🙂
when i was 5, i walked up to my mom and proudly said "I know what a virgin is." thinking i was gonna say something like "it's Jesus's mommy!" or something else, he asked me what it was. "it's a lady who hasn't had sex yet!" my mom panicked and asked who the hell told me that. i brought him my children's bible; it was listed in the glossary.
anyway thanks for the video! lol
The thing about her turning into a statue was because she walked on Hallowed Ground — they established earlier that "witches cant set foot on it"
this movie is barely watchable
You and candy have a very speacial relationship and I’m jealous
you can’t overthink this type of film. aside from the plot holes/inconsistencies, the more you try to read this movie, the better and more iconic it ends up looking 😂 you just can’t shit on this movie, no matter how hard you try. it’s just too good. (maybe that nasty candy corn melted your brain a little bit 🤢) but fr great video Nick, you always keep me laughing 💛
Cats are smart enough, they're just choosing not to.
i wish it was more self-aware of why people love movies with flaws because it kinda seems like you don't understand.
"Something else Marshall"????? NICK. Put some respect on the name of the woman who directed A League of their Own!!! #PENNYMarshall #TheSUPERIORMarshall
also you forgot to mention when Max rescued Dani, he kicked the cauldron over and the potion had been completed at that point. so no it wasn’t fossilized, i guess the sisters eventually remembered all of the ingredients and finished the brew.

Nick I love you but it killed me to see you dismiss Penny Marshall (Laverne & Shirley, A League of Their Own) like that. And you named two of Gary's worst movies, but he deserved an Emmy for portraying the head of CBS on an episode of Louie.
