Hocus Pocus

i watch this every year on october 31. it’s my ritual. a tradition, and i still love it, every single time, like it’s the first time. the sanderson sisters are absolutely iconic, literally gods of chaos and comedy and drama all in one. winifred’s cackle still terrifies me a bit. sarah’s flirty chaos is still perfect. mary’s “oh no” energy is just unmatched. i cannot. and max dennison... my first celebrity crush like ever, the OG. i still have a soft spot for him. the way he rolls his eyes and panics at everything? i get it, i am him sometimes. he’s awkward and sweet and completely doomed in the best way, absolute king energy. the movie itself is just so iconic. cheesy, funny, sometimes spooky and ALWAYS heartwarming! i know all the lines, i sing all the songs, i feel like i’ve lived in salem with them for decades. i don’t care how many times i’ve seen it, i will watch it again next october. and on the next one. and every october after that. it is my halloween heart, my comfort, my obsession.
