Everything Wrong With Hocus Pocus In However Many Minutes It Takes

This movie has somehow become a nostalgic beloved classic, and that sh*t is WRONG. This movie is TERRIBLE. This movie is sinny.
Next week: Classic scary sins and new-era "classic" holiday sins.
Remember, no movie is without sin! Which movie's sins should we expose next?!

The cg cat clips are awesome for its time. I think it’s because if you’ve ever seen a black cat irl, the fur seems to absorb light, so you’re only really seeing eyes nose and mouth, and a small amount of shine on the body. They applied that to the film almost perfectly

It's a REALLY small town where pretty much every one else in Max's high school class was born and raised there, so of course everyone will know the new family and the kid who transfers in Hallow's Eve week. And Trick or Treating at the sister's age is a big deal. It's basically a debute

14:05 I think it's implied that mortals can't see the light coming from the book. In the previous scene when Allison first opens it, it's glowing on the front page and she says 'nothing weird so far.' Both Allison and Max couldn't see it, so I doubt any of the residents of Salem would see it either. I always assumed that because Binx was bewitched by the witches magic, he is a 'magical creature' and therefore he could see the light, hence why he jumped on the book to close it.

You wouldn't judge the classical movie "Gone With the Wind" using your ideals of 2019's fashion because it wasn't made in 2019 and thus the style of speech and dress is nothing like today's even in the local that the movie was shot.

Also, what you called the "style" of movies doesn't necessarily change between decades and, when it does, it's not a linear progression. Also also, both storytelling in general and film making in particular adhere to a set of rules several of which are hundreds years old and haven't changed to this day. So, yeah, you can definitely use "2019 logic" - which is not a thing, by the way - to evaluate a movie from the 1990s (or from the 1920s, for that matter: go watch _Nosferatu_ use your best "2020 logic" and tell me if that shit doesn't hold up).

[@suaamigamisteriosa]

The moon being full on Halloween happens on an average of every 18 to 19 years so it is quit a rare event happening only 4 or 5 times in a century. The last time the moon was full on Halloween was October 31st, 2001, the one before that was 1974. The next Halloween full moon will occur in 2020. The movie claims it's been 300 years since the Sanderson sisters died, which means only about 15 times that there has even been a Full Moon on Halloween since their demise., and the witnesses to their actions would prevent any attempts for a significant portion of the earlier occurrences. That's 15 days out of almost 110,000 days that even allow for the opportunity for lighting the candle to have any effect at all, and it wouldn't be until the facts became clouded by time and believed to be legend and myth that anyone might consider making an attempt so probably the first 2 or 3, maybe more, wouldn't even have anyone consider attempting it. Also, the wax on the candle is clearly melted, so people have clearly lit it in the past (of the characters' perspective), but one or more of the varied and sundry requirements must have been off at the time of those previous attempts. They must have assumed that they had all the variables correct, or they wouldn't have tried it, so their failures would be perceived as evidence that the whole candle thing was myth, which would dissuade future attempts by those same individuals, as well as any that heard of their failed attempts. These factors, combined, make it highly unlikely that there would have been any previous successful attempt. The sin isn't that no one succeeded before. But the sin should be, instead, that given all possible issues that could prevent it from working, the kid in this movie actually succeeded against such odds.

[@socksockslotsofsocks5447]

full moon on halloween next year AND finally on a weekend? Shit Im planning my party now lmao

Also the people back then would have believed the curse was real and so no one would have approached the candle...as the story began to fade and become more legend others would try it but not with the right circumstances as you mentioned, also for a while now the Sanderson sisters house has been made a historic site and so the candle was kept out of public hands.

"Confusing children with weed" lmao

[@SunflowerSpotlight]

When Winifred says “It’s just a bunch of Hocus Pocus,” there IS a sin there that wasn’t mentioned. She wasn’t resurrected when he said that, so how did she know to mock him with it? Was her ghost just hanging out? If so, why didn’t she understand what sprinklers are? Also as a kid I was never sure if “Madonna” was their mom or not. Dani says, “My brother’s a virgin and he lit the black flame candle...” Why not use his name? When talking to my parents I don’t say “my brother,” I use his name. And her mom acts so unconcerned. Both of those factors led to confusion of if the woman was her mother or not for my entire childhood. I guess it was a pretty good sign I’d become an editor, for such a small detail to bug me every single time I see the movie. 🙄

[@therealMrA]

This movie can't happen if even one adult isn't a neglectful piece of shit.

And if they could somehow hear him, they would've heard everything else said within their house over the course of 300 years, which clearly does not reflect on their behavior when they actually get revived.
