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.
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.
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.
you know I actually went to see this during its opening weekend and the theater was so packed I had to sit up front in one seat while my aunt and uncle were a few rows back. My uncle ran up when the zombie crawled from its grave to make sure I wasnt scared, I actually said I was fine but out of popcorn lolol.
My grandfather watched Child's Play with my brother and I when I was younger. He also had a box of monster masks and gloves that he would put on to try to scare us all of the time. We always had a great time at our grandparent's house.
Despite it being said "HOCUS POCUS" was a "bomb" when initially released it actually had a respectable opening weekend just as your comment implies. While it was by no means a blockbuster in 1993 it was not a "bomb" either. It was actually mildly profitable and considered to be significantly more successful than Bette Midler's previous film at the time "FOR THE BOYS" which was a huge box office failure and which seemed to be "for almost nobody." Bette made mention at the time of the "HOCUS POCUS" release that she was pleased that its box office performance was an improvement from the surprisingly major disappointment of "FOR THE BOYS" which had been her dream project.
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.
@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 🤞
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.
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!
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
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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
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!!
This is one of these massive Disney classic movies for Halloween hocus-pocus is a good movie and every year I get stronger and stronger loads of people love this film it is a cult classic…
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!
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❤️
5:03 Also, “that lady” is the voice of Peggy Hill from King of the Hill....😁 Edit: I added the smiley face so people wouldn’t think I was trying to be a mean know-it-all 🤪
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
The sunglasses are too big for his face. He could also use a better microphone for those shots. Great videos otherwise. I often find myself saying "Amok amok amok"
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.
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.
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 remember seeing this in theaters while at a summer day camp. Looking back, I was confused about why I was watching a Halloween movie in theaters in summer. Thanks for clearing that up 😊
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!
Growing up with religious parents who didn’t allow my brother and I to trick or treat, all those Disney movies, hocus pocus, Halloween town, twitches, the little vampire, mom’s got a date with a vampire, and under wraps, etc. were yearly classics for us! It was the only thing we could do on Halloween as a kid
#11. There's a kid dressed up as Sonic the Hedgehog during the part where the Sanderson Sisters couldn't find any children because (the children) were in their costume. That's also reference to the old origin of Halloween where people need to disguise themselves so evil spirits can't find them nor recognize them as humans.
I didn’t have Disney Channel growing up but I remember this movie being on TV all the time. It transcends cult classic as it’s pretty universally loved across generations
I was scrolling to see if anyone else said anything about it!! I tell people all the time about that and they don’t believe me lol. I have to show them his IMDB to prove it.
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
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 have such wonderful memories of this film when I was a kid.... I ALWAYS watch this when I was at my grandparents house lol didnt matter what time of the year it was, if I was there then we would be watching hocus pocus on VHS lol my grandparents probably hated the movie after a while but they always acted excited whole watching with me.... Those were the good old days!
One of our Haloween Movies along with High Spirits. Okay, a little off-topic: I'll never forget the year I did the makeup for my then GF, as a witch for Haloween. Prosthetic nose and green face paint, not a hint of pink skin showing. With her long black dress and witch's hat, she looked the part. We always did the house up and we'd get a few of the local kids trick or treating through out the evening. A little girl, probably only 5 or 6, came around with her Mum in tow. When this big green Witch with a long pointy nose answered the door, the poor little mite screamed and dashed for cover behind her mum. My GF ended up having to remove the nose and show the normal skin underneath, So she could see it was just makeup. She finally noticed the bowl of sweets and that made everything better.
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
@@Deliverthagoodz ah well; still cool, though.
1992 was the year that I moved up to Salem.
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.
James B
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”.
Yea it’s so true, we’ve said that all along. We even made our own vids on the movie
"the lady from sister act"
Peggy Hill: Am I a joke to you?!
Ha ha ha Peggy hill king of the hill I love that show
Wait, what? *Goes to check IMDB* Wait, WHAT!?!?!
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!
Played by Peggy Hill (emphasis added)

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.
Fun Fact: The scene where Doug Jones (Billy Butcherson) cuts his stitches on his mouth and moths come flying out, those were real moths.
Omg you’re right! I just googled it lol yuck!
Now that is a fun fact!😁

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.

Thanks for the info! I like this explanation bettet.

I saw it for free at the theater 🎥 when it first came out.
I am CRAZY about the Child's play movies. I Can't wait for the Premiere of CHUCKY Season 2.

“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
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!
So excited when this popped up! Clapping and dancing around...
AMUCK!!
AMUCK!!
AMUCK!!
I’m 40 years old now and I still did the same.
Oooh what a pretty spider
SAME!!!
Fun fact: the scene where Mary gets hit with the frying pan by Allison was REAL but it was completely by accident. Oops!!
I've been enjoying this moving since 1993. Still thoroughly enjoyable for me!
This movie will always be a Halloween classic. Enough said.
I really miss the 80's and 90's.
Amen to that.

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 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?
One of my favorite movies. We always watch it during Halloween
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
@@rustyshackleford7265 you sound as if you are jealous of Bette's incredible talent.
Me either
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.

No mention of Doug Jones?!! That's a huge missed opportunity right there.

Literally watch this just about every Halloween. Classic
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
The middle witch was played by Kathy Najimy.

@@daniellemusella1594 amok, amok, amok, amok!
5:03 Also, “that lady” is the voice of Peggy Hill from King of the Hill....😁
Edit: I added the smiley face so people wouldn’t think I was trying to be a mean know-it-all 🤪
Yet you still didn’t name the actress! Her name is Kathy Najimy, 🤦🏾♂️☹️🤬🤯😠🥱
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
I just love his accent 😆
Once you see Minty reading his que cards through his glasses you cant stop seeing it happen..
I hate you
Dam lol i would have never noticed.
His shades are wonky too.
The sunglasses are too big for his face. He could also use a better microphone for those shots. Great videos otherwise. I often find myself saying "Amok amok amok"
I would like for Minty to do "It's The Great Pumpkin" next!
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.
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.
I just watched the interview again, and I realized I was wrong. She was scared at first, but she ended up loving it.
@@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.
I love the part with the witch "giving" candy to the kids. Because her i always end up with way more candy then i buy jk.

I broke into a giggle-fit, when I saw Clark Bars in a local store called Family Dollar. I just had to buy them.
@@daniellemusella1594 i have a family dollar in my town im totally going there to see if they have Clark Bars
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 remember seeing this in theaters while at a summer day camp. Looking back, I was confused about why I was watching a Halloween movie in theaters in summer. Thanks for clearing that up 😊
It came out on the exact day I was born!
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!
My introduction to the word "virgin" was in the Monster Squad.
This is a favorite at my house. I think all of the casting was spot on and couldn't imagine it any different.
Growing up with religious parents who didn’t allow my brother and I to trick or treat, all those Disney movies, hocus pocus, Halloween town, twitches, the little vampire, mom’s got a date with a vampire, and under wraps, etc. were yearly classics for us! It was the only thing we could do on Halloween as a kid
Hocus Pocus is a classic.
Fun fact: the middle witch is none other than the voice of Peggy Hill..
I'm glad somebody said it! 13 seasons, and nothing less than flawless voice acting that helped to bring the Hill family together! Hoo-YEAH!!!
No way
I didn’t know that!
#11. There's a kid dressed up as Sonic the Hedgehog during the part where the Sanderson Sisters couldn't find any children because (the children) were in their costume.
That's also reference to the old origin of Halloween where people need to disguise themselves so evil spirits can't find them nor recognize them as humans.
I didn’t have Disney Channel growing up but I remember this movie being on TV all the time. It transcends cult classic as it’s pretty universally loved across generations
🎵🎶I put a spell on you. Because your mine🎶🎵
I thought it was I Put A Spell On You and now you're mine??
@@thetrimreaper1019 yes your right. In my defence I had sugery on friday and still in pain. You forgive?
I forgive, you don't need to offer an excuse. We all make oopsies
*chants a spell*
Binx grew up to be a NCIS agent
I was scrolling to see if anyone else said anything about it!! I tell people all the time about that and they don’t believe me lol. I have to show them his IMDB to 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 😁
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
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.
Wow! I knew he'd passed away but didn't know what happened.
@@dianetheisen8664 holy shit 😰
When I go to watch this again, I’m not gonna sleep
Oh my God!
I'm one of those who watches Hocus Pocus EVERY year!
I have such wonderful memories of this film when I was a kid.... I ALWAYS watch this when I was at my grandparents house lol didnt matter what time of the year it was, if I was there then we would be watching hocus pocus on VHS lol my grandparents probably hated the movie after a while but they always acted excited whole watching with me.... Those were the good old days!
My mom took me to see this in theaters when I was 11. One of my best childhood memories.
You should've talked about the Disneyland stage play, its really well made
One of our Haloween Movies along with High Spirits.
Okay, a little off-topic:
I'll never forget the year I did the makeup for my then GF, as a witch for Haloween. Prosthetic nose and green face paint, not a hint of pink skin showing. With her long black dress and witch's hat, she looked the part.
We always did the house up and we'd get a few of the local kids trick or treating through out the evening. A little girl, probably only 5 or 6, came around with her Mum in tow.
When this big green Witch with a long pointy nose answered the door, the poor little mite screamed and dashed for cover behind her mum. My GF ended up having to remove the nose and show the normal skin underneath, So she could see it was just makeup.
She finally noticed the bowl of sweets and that made everything better.
I forgot about "High Spirits". Loved that movie 🎥 too.
I watch every Halloween! It’s perfect in every way! Spooky and kooky. Love the Sanders Sisters! Looking forward to the sequel! 💀👻🎃
I remember being scared in the theater when it came out haha. Oh how silly!!!
There is a remake of the witches with Angela Houston now having Anne Hathaway playing her role
@@thetrimreaper1019 hilarious, love it!
I was disappointed with the trailer. The main draw for the original was how dark it was. The remake looks weak AF.
