I was in middle school in Salem while this was being filmed. The whole city was going nuts about the filming and they even used some of the local kids as extras during Sarah’s song.
HOO-YEAH!!! From beating up Randy Travis for stealing her song, to letting Bobby kick her in the crotch to show him the testicle move doesn't always apply (Khan, "Ohhh, she lying, finish her!!!"), to winning the Boggle championship with "acquaintanceship", and getting her "blood mug" to show off to Minh after donating 8 pints of blood. Peggy Hill is so awesome! And nobody else could've played her better than Kathy Najimy!
The boy who plays Max in the movie, Omri Katz, was the main character in a classic cult family tv series, called "Eerie Indiana" in the early '90s. Check it out, it is worth.
biohazard429 maybe he didn’t know that? He’s obviously not American. In different countries they have different stars. I really think he just didn’t know that.
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.
Hi I’m from Salem ma, actually more of the film was filmed in Marblehead ma. There are many sets in Salem. We do have some Hocus Pocus celebrations but we have other celebrations of almost every other Halloween movie. There also has been a few other movies in town. Fun fact: the bike ride seen there’s a sign on a store that says stop, it’s a real store and still in down town marblehead today.
@@Leonard1977ful so disappointed that very little of the film that was filmed in Salem ended up in the final film. All that set decorating in the common ended up cut out. I live off the common.
Hocus wasn’t always a huge movie?! WOW!! I would’ve never thought!! I love this movie! This movie is Iconic.. between this and Halloween town I stand these
That "lady who was in sister act" is also a comedian and a major activist and frequently travels the country to speak on issues of equal rights, safety and self esteem for women and girls, LGBTQ rights, AIDS awareness, domestic violence, body image, civil rights, animal rights...the list goes on. She has also appeared on game shows, donating all her winnings to various charities. And Kenny Ortega directed a bunch of movies including Newsies, Hocus Pocus, the High-school musical trilogy, and the descendants trilogy, among other things.
High school musical and the descendants trilogy was the work of the guy that played Max (I know bc screen rant just did a 25 things you don't know about Hocus Pocus) ... Danny Ortega didn't have anything to do with those movies
The whole reason why Minty is the way he is today is apparently because of that fateful conversation with his parents, possibly even setting his path to become a top RUclipsr showcasing movies and their little known facts in stone forever! Love your videos, Minty! Thank you!
I always got the impression that Bette Midler loved playing Winnie. Just confirmed that it's true. That's so awesome, she really smashed it in the movie. It looked like she just LOVED playing that role
When I got a VCR for Christmas in '96, I was given two tapes with it. Death Becomes Her and Hocus Pocus. You have now done vids on both. They have been my long-time favorite movies. Thank you, Minty!
@Tom Tinker's Rez Life I heard that there's a special plaque at the house used to represent Max and Dani's home, commemorating the movie. Is that true?
Goyapeas, I too am for a sequel, what say it were to at last happen, the movie might be bad and all those years waiting were all for nothing. The sequel must be good fingers crossed 🤞
OMG, I am SO glad Rosie did not star in this film! I would have NEVER seen this over and over today with her having to do anything with it! Thanks Minty for all of your work you are doing with these videos and just being YOU!
Fun Fact: the reason why Hocus Pocus was released in July instead of October was because to avoid competition with The Nightmare Before Christmas as Disney was also releasing that the same year
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.
I was super lucky to find it at my local Salvation Army on VHS. Now I'm looking into buying it on 4k. It is a really fun movie to watch during October specially for those who aren't so fond of actual horror movies.
I'm about to go watch this amazing gem, in just a few minutes. Will be the first time i've watched it, since the 90s. I loved this film, from the first time I saw it! I'm proud to say that this wonderful, cherished classic is from my generation! Definetly one of the best Halloween movies, ever!!
I grew up watching this and it left so much of a impact I still remember the exact day I watched it along with where and when, was staying with a friend and she got it on vhs that night and me and her watched it and we both loved it and I still do to this day as an adult and make it a mission to watch it every year in October somewhere.
A terrifying fact: the actor who played Max and Danny's dad, was found in a field in Connecticut with his throat slit. It was pronounced suicide. But I think there is something else be behind it.
I was a senior in high school when it came out so I never saw it, it being a film for much younger kids. Last week I took my youngest to see it at the theater to use up some free movie tickets we had. What an adorable film! My kids (10 + 12) LOVED it. I don't think I would've appreciated it as an older teen, but I can definitely see why it's so popular. We'll have to watch it again next October.
Great job on this one. Definitely one of my favorite childhood movies. Before this movie, I've never heard of the word "virgin" myself and even asked my parents. Interesting conversation indeed.
I absolutely love this movie so does my 8 year old daughter she can't wait for it to come on tv. I love Garry Marshall & Penny Marshall in it. Party's Over lol
When my daughter was 3 I took her to see Hocus Pocus for a family movie day. She fell in love with it and we’ve been watching it ever since! This movie will never go out of style for us❤️
Hearing how he started this makes me want to take my writing to the next level . I love horror shorts . And write many based of the troubles of my own life
Thank you for doing Hocus Pocus. I used to go to the theatre constantly to watch that movie. I'm not sure if you knew this but Sarah Jessica Parker actually hated the broomstick scenes because she was afraid of heights.
I swear Ive heard she was the one whom loved the broomstick rig so much she would stay up between takes and crew breaks, so much so she would recieve drinks and snacks brought to her by them.
@@mikeokeeffe4692 I was watching an interview about the filming and she Sara Jessica Parker said in an interview that she was afraid of heights. She even said that when she did the backwards flip on the broom, the scream was genuine.
@@StevenBAndrewspartyI love the fact tha you *just* watched the interview again just as Iam watching 'Sarah Jessica Parker Enjoyed being Airborne in Hocus Pocus ' video, interviewed by Stephen Colbert. I had also watched a couple more general facts videos from the RUclips results pages after this 1st comment and subsequent reply really got me confoundedly determined to discover which sources misinformed me. To put that in context; Its now 3am here in UK. Cool, anyway. Im going to trudge through the results pages until 4 at this rate because I know what Im like.
Saw this in the movies when it first came out. Thestre was packed. Really enjoyed it. Just watched the Blu Ray last week. Great stuff! PLEASE. PLEASE, PLEASE NO REMAKES!!!
I recently came across your channel. Though I was a bit skeptical at first because many of "what you don't know" type stuff I actually know but with your series I find out I didn't know many of what you discuss about your movie reviews. Thank you for giving movies I love a new light.
I just rewatched this movie the other day and just noticed that Binks's eyes changed from green to yellow. I thought I was going crazy so I went back and rewatched it again and nope, it stayed the same, his eyes do change.
Im a recently new viewer and have been binge watching your videos! I really enjoy how in depth you go into some of the best movies of our childhood.Keep up the good work Minty
ONE OF MY FAVORITE HALLOWEEN MOVIES EVER! ...well this and "Trick 'R' Treat" Sam is so RAD! (Can I ask you kindly to do one on that movie please)? This captures the feel of Halloween, the characters are great, the story is simple yet well done and there are some seriously funny LOL gut busting laughs in this movie! Thanks for covering this one Mint! BTW. I watch almost all your vids. You rule!
To me Hocus Pocus is the Halloween equivalent to A Christmas Story. Neither did well at the theaters but both have become must watches during the holidays.

Kathy Najimy is an incredibly underrated comedy actress and voiceover artist
I can't believe Minty pulled a "That Lady" for Kathleen Najimy smh
Right! She voiced Peggy from King of the Hill!
Yeah she fits the role really well, and especially Bette Middler who rocked the witch role, also the cute SJP!
@@davomoto42
She also played the Evil Queen in "Descendants".
@Aztec Warrior Pamela Adlon voiced Bobby, she has some really great videos of her doing voicework!
This movie never gets old, a true Disney classic.

Sara Jessica Parker could do a sequel and not need any creepy makeup. Smoking a ton & bad plastic surgery is a bad combo evidently.
I just watched this a week ago. It’s dated now.
@@Podcastforthewin True But Still Nearly 30 Years Later It's Number 1 Now
The “haha the boy is a virgin” jokes are pretty dated and scream “boomer humor”.

I was in middle school in Salem while this was being filmed. The whole city was going nuts about the filming and they even used some of the local kids as extras during Sarah’s song.
Did you get to meet the cast?
Sadly, no

What?!?! So amazing. Checkout all the filming locations we found!
Love everything about this movie. Not mentioned: Garry and Penny Marshall appearing as a couple in a hilarious cameo.
I was Watching Hocus Pocus with my mom and she recognized Penny Marshall 🤣🤣 I have no idea who she is
I know, I thought that was really weird when I saw that. But that is a pretty funny scene.
I knew it!! 😬
This movie really defines halloween!
May they both rest in peace!
Hocus Pocus is a family tradition in my house. We watch it every Halloween.
The boy who plays Max in the movie, Omri Katz, was the main character in a classic cult family tv series, called "Eerie Indiana" in the early '90s. Check it out, it is worth.
I heard about that show before and would love to see it, is it on a streaming platform?
@@shafali1972 Check it out on the fmovies, you'll find it there.
LOVED THAT SHOW!
Minty should do that one day. Its was a food show
Going to have to find this show and rewatch it. Just watched all of the original Are You Afraid of the Dark episodes, that was fun.
Why would you refer to Kathy Najimy as, "that lady that played a nun on Sister Act?" She's a great actress and has co-starred in numerous films.
Get over it crybabies
She has great comedic timing, which is something you are born with.
biohazard429 maybe he didn’t know that? He’s obviously not American. In different countries they have different stars. I really think he just didn’t know that.
tahoemist98 how about maybe a simple google search to find out? Not referring to her by name is just simply rude.

This film is currently number one in America 27 years after it basically flopped being a summer release.
Coronavirus has it's beneficiaries
@@MechaJutaro the popularity of this movie started to go up a couple years ago.
it was released around Halloween in the UK. I remember actually going to watch it on Halloween
knightghost 17 that’s true, but it also doesn’t have much competition due to coronavirus
I think the initial flop was almost certainly due to it's July release. Who thought that would be a good idea?
“Hello Salem. My names Winifred what’s yours?” is a reference to when Bette Midler played Mama Rose in Gypsy
But the Bette Midler Gypsy was released six months AFTER Hocus Pocus
Hi I’m from Salem ma, actually more of the film was filmed in Marblehead ma. There are many sets in Salem.
We do have some Hocus Pocus celebrations but we have other celebrations of almost every other Halloween movie.

No Name ha history, history in tourism yes. History with witches
Let’s just say you’re text book was right but you just read it wrong
The Netfix movie Hubie Halloween with Adam Sandler, similar to Hocus Pocus, also had parts that were filmed in Marblehead too.

Amen to that.

Same!
I was still a sea man at that time.. but man.. that sounds like a lot of fun... technology ruined it for me I think. I wish I had been born in the 80s
This movie will always be a Halloween classic. Enough said.
There is so doubt that Hocus Pocus was a movie ahead of it’s time! Such an amazing movie that a lot of people didn’t get when it realest
I literally know every word to this film 🤣😂
It's undoubtedly a classic
Prove it
I introduced this movie to my daughter who is now 30. It's one of out favorites! Have to watch it every year 😁
Fun fact: the scene where Mary gets hit with the frying pan by Allison was REAL but it was completely by accident. Oops!!

I saw this back in 1993 and loved it! One of my favorite films of that year, glad it made to classic status.

Probably my favorite Halloween movie. Still, as a 40 year old man I sit down and watch it with my wife when each year.
Good choice for the Halloween season
We agree! Check out the vid we posted about HP you might dig it
I agree
@vanessa sandersThat's Sarah Jessica Parker my friend. Amber was only 7 when this movie came out in 93' and I was 5 🧙🏼♀️😊
@vanessa sanders The question mark made it a question I figured you were serious.
one thing I was amazed to learn was the actors playing Ernie & Jay (AKA discount Bulk & Skull) became lifelong friends afterwards
A must see every Halloween, seen it twice already. A great cast for the witches, kids, goofy parents and the Marshall's. What a hoot!
The whole reason why Minty is the way he is today is apparently because of that fateful conversation with his parents, possibly even setting his path to become a top RUclipsr showcasing movies and their little known facts in stone forever! Love your videos, Minty! Thank you!
This is a favorite at my house. I think all of the casting was spot on and couldn't imagine it any different.
I always got the impression that Bette Midler loved playing Winnie. Just confirmed that it's true. That's so awesome, she really smashed it in the movie. It looked like she just LOVED playing that role
One of the BEST movies of all time.
When I got a VCR for Christmas in '96, I was given two tapes with it. Death Becomes Her and Hocus Pocus. You have now done vids on both. They have been my long-time favorite movies.
Thank you, Minty!
Do you recall 'Witch' you watched first?
Death Becomes Her is a great movie
Yesss I absolutely love Hocus Pocus!! I watch it over and over every Halloween 🎃!!
Kenny Ortega is also responsible for Newsies and all the Disney's Descendants movies.
And all 3 High School Musical movies
Yeah I'm not a fan if Descendants or HSM, and I'm glad thanks to him we got this iconic halloween classic!
And two Cheetah Girls movies plus Micheal Jackson's This Is It
PHSDM104 I forgot about that!
Experiment 626 Boop / Bop / Beep and Halloweentown
Midler made this movie, I couldn’t imagine anyone else as whinnie
A three hundred pound hog in a red wig would work too 👌
Having her sing "I Put A Spell On You" was genius! 😸
You can tell she’s just having the time of her life with that role. All the witches actresses are amazing in it, but Bette really does shine

To put that in context; Its now 3am here in UK. Cool, anyway. Im going to trudge through the results pages until 4 at this rate because I know what Im like.
Love this movie!!! Every year it’s a must!!! Can’t wait for part 2!!!’
The best Halloween film of all time, and I have hopes for the sequel and wants the OG witches back in the sequel!
Literally watch this just about every Halloween. Classic
The lady from the Sisteract movies? Really? At least mention her name too, out of respect. Otherwise another great clip. And I would love a sequel!
Saw this in the movies when it first came out. Thestre was packed. Really enjoyed it. Just watched the Blu Ray last week.
Great stuff! PLEASE. PLEASE, PLEASE NO REMAKES!!!
Happy Spooktober Everyone! 🎃🎃

I recently came across your channel. Though I was a bit skeptical at first because many of "what you don't know" type stuff I actually know but with your series I find out I didn't know many of what you discuss about your movie reviews. Thank you for giving movies I love a new light.
I just rewatched this movie the other day and just noticed that Binks's eyes changed from green to yellow. I thought I was going crazy so I went back and rewatched it again and nope, it stayed the same, his eyes do change.
Well considering they used 9 cats and a fake one that's not a stretch.
Sarah is actually interested in a sequel???? That's awesome! Last I heard, she was saying it's not happening.
Hocus Pocus is a classic.
This is one of those movies that is universally liked. I'm a guy that doesn't really like cats or witches, and I still like it.
How you gonna do Kathy Najimy dirty like that, calling her “that lady who played a nun in sister act” so rude. 🤦🏽♀️
It’s a fact tho.
@@user-fb4sb1zi8gwould’ve made more sense to credit her with a more famous role. Like Peggy in King of the Hill.
Im a recently new viewer and have been binge watching your videos! I really enjoy how in depth you go into some of the best movies of our childhood.Keep up the good work Minty
ONE OF MY FAVORITE HALLOWEEN MOVIES EVER! ...well this and "Trick 'R' Treat" Sam is so RAD!
(Can I ask you kindly to do one on that movie please)?
This captures the feel of Halloween, the characters are great, the story is simple yet well done and there are some seriously funny LOL gut busting laughs in this movie!
Thanks for covering this one Mint!
BTW. I watch almost all your vids. You rule!
To me Hocus Pocus is the Halloween equivalent to A Christmas Story. Neither did well at the theaters but both have become must watches during the holidays.
I can't imagine Winifred Sanderson being anybody but Bette Midler
Same!
Same
My wife and I saw Hocus Pocus in the theater, and we enjoyed it very much.
Can we just take a moment and give it up for character/creature actor Doug Jones? 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@Shawn Black
I know, right? He also played the Pale Man in "Pan's Labyrinth", and Gill-Man in "The Shape of Water".
Danielle Musella I didn’t know that! That creature in Pan’s Labyrinth was soooo creepy in no small part I guess because of his skills
Wasn't he one of The Gentleman in the BtVS episode Hush?
Or did I just totally make that up?
@@dawnochs2018 he was the main Gentleman in that episode of Buffy.
And Abe in hellboy!
4:50 I have got to confess ...that's is the most gorgeous looking picture of Rosie o Donnell I have ever seen
Sarah Jessica Parker looks gorgeous in Hocus Pocus.
The fact that critics said only Bette Midler fans could appreciate it during its release makes me laugh. Hocus Pocus MADE me a Midler fan.
