Hocus Pocus (1993) is a beloved fantasy comedy film directed by Kenny Ortega. The story is set in the town of Salem, Massachusetts, and follows three witches—the Sanderson sisters—who are resurrected on Halloween night after 300 years. The witches, played by Bette Midler (Winifred), Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah), and Kathy Najimy (Mary), were executed in the 17th century for practicing dark magic, and their return spells trouble for the modern-day town.

The plot centers around a teenager named Max Dennison (Omri Katz), his sister Dani (Thora Birch), and their friend Allison (Vinessa Shaw), who accidentally bring the witches back to life by lighting a cursed candle. The group must then work together, with the help of an enchanted black cat named Binx, to stop the witches from becoming immortal by stealing the souls of children before sunrise.
