    The funny thing is, In witchcraft, when 'Virgin blood' is referenced. it's not talking about someone who hasn't had sex. it's talking about blood that has never been used in a ritual. So they were in fact saying someone without ties to witchcraft would light the candle and bring them back. but i don't think even the film makers knew this so they played off the joke. but now you know. Cue the star with the rainbow tail.

    Great job Minty. Some very interesting unknown facts. I was an adult when "Hocus Pocus" first came out in theaters and I fell in love with it from the very start. My kids were very small then so they did not see it til they were older on video and they fell in love with it. My wife and I both loved the song "Come Little Children". When I first rented the video of HP (No not Lovecraft) I told my wife "You are going to love this song Sarah sings to the children to lure them". And she did. And everytime we watched the movie as a family when "Come Little Children" was playing my wife would ask me to boost the volume. Great Halloween classic.

    I saw the movie when it first came out and loved it. The song 'I Put A Spell on You" was originally from the 50's by Screaming Jay Hawkins who would come out of a coffin on stage and sing the song. Besides the cameo by Garry and Penny Marshall there are great lines in the movie like the lobster tank scene where the guy from the fish restaurant says "Who's going in the jacuzzi?
    The movie is such a classic. Since the Sanderson Sisters bit the dust in the end a sequel just doesn't make sense.
