******************************
Three gnarly, 17th-century witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy) are unwittingly conjured up for a Halloween night in present-day Salem. It’s been said that there are good witches and bad witches and, while they can spice up a party with their outlandish get-ups and Three-Stooges-like antics, these are not good witches. Their lifeblood is young children, and they’ve got one night to satisfy their hunger or, come sunrise, turn to dust.
Hocus Pocus had a decent enough first release but, like so many holiday favorites, really found new life on television and home video in the years after its initial run. There’s always room for a fun-loving, friendly Halloween movie in people’s lives, and Hocus Pocus continues to be as warm and welcoming as ever, more than 30 years later. Most of that is down to the perfect casting and joyous performances of the trio of witches, the nominal antagonists but real stars of the movie.
This special “Mummy & Me” screening is FREE for ages 12 and younger.
