The fact this movie is 32 years old is soul crushing!! I was 6 and my mom took my siblings and I to go see in theaters after our doctor’s appointment Since then, we get to together and watch it multiple times throughout October since it came out on VHS (yes my mom still has the OG VHS tape, but it is unwatchable now) But 32 years later and it is still a tradition ❤️

Wilna Nel

Waiting for my sister to come visit so we can watch this together and join the drinking game 🤗

I love that Allison was on board to be friends with and protect Dani from the jump 👏🏻

Dmitry Boardman

The last two lines of the script having ALL of the drinking words was fantastic. Can attest that nostalgia wasn't necessary to cement this as a personal classic. I first watched this as a teen in 2018 and fell completely in love, and I can't appreciate the kid actors and the writing of the sibling relationship enough. We love the camp of this movie and that's the main reputation, but there's such a genuine aspect and deep heart to it too. Dani is a perfect little-sister kid character. It's also the "witch movie" we really needed as a culture and is genuinely great as an exploration of witch antagonists. The witches are classic and scary but also stick close to Salem lore and superstition and have interesting powers in a refreshing way that makes them the defining cinematic witches for me in the way Bela Lugosi was for movie vampires. I wish the sequel had half of this film's quality.

Rich

lol you owe us 2 for when Dani said "a virgin lit the candle." you drank for virgin, not for candle 😂😂

Liam Rendos

Fun Facts About Hocus Pocus * Bette Midler genuinely adored playing Winifred Sanderson and spent years campaigning to get the sequel greenlit—the only sequel she has ever done in her entire career. * The role of Max Dennison was originally offered to Leonardo DiCaprio, but he turned it down to star in What's Eating Gilbert Grape, which earned him his first Oscar nomination. * Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah Sanderson) discovered during a genealogy project that one of her own ancestors was arrested and accused of witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials in the late 1600s. * The core story of Hocus Pocus was first conceived by writer David Kirschner as a bedtime story he told his children. * The iconic, mesmerizing song, "Come Little Children" (or "Sarah's Theme"), was sung live on set by Sarah Jessica Parker in front of the child actors.

Liam Rendos

So I have some suggestions for some movies you’ve probably seen but here are some so first twilight then we have home alone 2 because it’s all most Christmas next I know that we are watching chunky and it’s really good but I think in one of your videos you said something about the 100 I’m rewatching it and it’s so good it that’s not one of the ones I’m going to suggest finally texes chainsaw massacre 2022 that would be good so these are my suggestions bye

Liam Rendos

My favorite reaction

Ray J. Evernham

The subtitles when the credits started rolling - 🎶My whammy fell on you🎶💀😂 Spooky Szn is never complete without a rewatch of Hocus Pocus🎃

Belladonna Rose

Ok...so i gotta tell you how drunk I was. I had to watch this in two parts. In my defense, I had been...gardening before hand. Then I was like "ooh, drinking game! I'm down!" I jumped up and made a pretty strong drink. And wound up having to refill. They def put a spell on me because that's around the time I tapped out. 😭 Now I'm back, from outer space 🤣 to watch the rest. What a fun watch! Neither you nor this movie ever get old. No soul sucking required. 🤣🥂

Belladonna Rose

"This is me. Barefoot in my TUNIC" 😭😭😭

Clever Girl

Need to watch The Long Kiss Goodnight, Daylight, Dantes Peak, Armageddon, and Practical Magic with you. Por favor. Those are some yell at the screen, fast paced 90s action...well all except Practical Magic. 🙃

LurkingTrashPanda

You are a stronger woman than I am, Alanda. If I still drank, the drinking game would've put me on the floor.

Ana Fox

It’s crazy but I never actually watched Hocus Pocus until now and OMGGG it’s brilliant! worth the hype 1000%! And also I *LOVED* the inclusive drinking game. Every place Alanda posts on becomes a cozy home for everyone.

Morgan

Bette Midler 🤏🏼🤏🏼 always shows up !! She has been my GOAT ever since Beaches 💙💙💙

Clark Coleman

You are Amazing!! Thank you! Your videos always put be in the best mood and bring such joy and happiness my way. Especially with all the craziness of the world. Thank you for being you. 😊

Kelly T

This was the best time! I watch this movie every Halloween and it was so fucking fun watching it with you, I also have that same necklace you're wearing, love it ❤❤

Diego Loewenstein

Loved this movie 👏🏼👏🏼

Samantha J

I have never seen this before today. It was fun. The sisters ate.

Cameron

Ohhh I’m seated for the 4 icons on my screen💅🏼 I will never tire of this movie or characters. The Tomfoolery I live for😆 Happy Halloween sistaas🧙🏼‍♀️

world of tinashe

this is only my second time watching this movie, watched it for the first time last year which is a CRIME, but I'm happy my second experience of this movie is alongside you ❤️

scarlet witch

Next year we're watching Hocus Pocus 2??😄😄😍🤷🏼‍♂️

Tawnie

That cat is an angel! He deserves an Oscar! I mean the literal cat - not the CGi bits lmao

Justin Lafleur

Fun trivia: The interior of Allison's house is the same house used for Sarah Michelle Gellar's sorority in SCREAM 2. The grand staircase that Allison descends at her Halloween party is the same staircase Ghostface chased Cici up to her doom.

shallowmirror

I am so happy I subscribed to your Patreon, you just radiate joy and every single video of yours make me happier. Thank you Alanda! When is Sister Act coming? I can't wait to rewatch it with you 🙌

Tyler

FINALLY someone that appreciates the entity that is Thora Birch! I was obsessed with a movie called 'Monkey Trouble' when I was a kid - between these two movies alone I knew she was a baddie

Oneiropolis

Icon watching icons? A gift! Also, the Sanderson sisters are SO drag-coded :D I love this movie so ridiculously much. Thanks for this!

Vicki M

Between this and Casper I was convinced when I was little that I was going to fall in love with a cute ghost boy.

Waylon Jordan

Such a magical time. I remember seeing this opening weekend in the theaters and walked around singing the songs for days!

Tyler Jones

my roommate and i played the drinking game, lord!! we are having a time thank you 😭

Anna

i ran out of drink halfway through the movie lol

Orangeskies

This really was the og weapons

Indica Jay

I did the game but with my bluterella chilllleeee I’m on the moon lol this was fun

Daniel McGuinness

Immediately understood why Alanda was tipsy during the Chucky reaction after I saw the rules to this drinking game 😂 you just wanted that apple mimosa!!! As you should! I completely missed hocus pocus as a kid in Scotland, saw it for the first time at like 20 😅 but still immediately understood the love for it, these queens do the damn thing And I still find myself singing Bette Middlers rendition of “I Put a Spell on You” too often in life

Isiah Vasquez

I think you should finish the Paranormal Activity movies for Spooky season.

Liam Rendos

Exactly what I needed

Kadiesha

I used to watch this movie every year with my mom. This is the first time I've watched it since she passed away 7 years ago. So fun to watch it with my Internet besties 💗

unpopular

omggg happy birthday <33

J'aime Black

The drinking game was fun (i didn't participate but it was fun watching you do it even though you missed a sip or 2 lol) I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought dani and thackery's final moment was romantic..you should react to hocus pocus 2 and do the drinking game! Great reaction as always!

lesbianxenomorph

omg I've never actually seen this movie, but I had a blast. You're reaction was so fun, esp when they saying the drinking game words in quick succession lmaoooo

Joshua Faruque

A Halloween classic. I never get tired of watching it. PS We’re gonna need a home decor video from you one of these days because this October aesthetic is everything.

Pierre Brown

Until time runs out, til the rivers run dry, the patreon app will never be forgiven for not notifying me about the drink prep AND A NEW REACTION VIDEO.

Zach

best birthday present ever

Dani

truly the best movie for spooky time fun

Ali Lynn

This was so fun! I didn't have alcohol so I had an iced coffee instead haha. Your other suggestions were so sweet though. Might do the tallies some other time. Thanks for the fun time. Love these SISTAHS.

Wilna Nel

For someone who has a very dark and heavy spirit…. this brought me so much joy 🥹 thank you Alanda

Terrell

😂 i love thissss

RiffRanger

Watching the alcohol start to take over was a delight. This is exactly the kind of Halloween content I needed.

scarlet witch

THIS IS THE BEST REACTION 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️I spent an amazing 2 hours, it's sad I couldn't have a drink with you ahahha

Amarje Humphries

at some point you HAVE to watch the 2nd movie. the sequel gives background on the sanderson sisters when they were young and how they became witches

Offred84

My sentiments exactly

Kylia Rose

the3Awakened1

Yessssss

Abby Hauck

This is easily the best experience I’ve had watching Hocus Pocus as well! Quoting a bunch, laughing along with you, it was truly such a fantastic time and you are such a joy, Alanda! Thank you for this, and hope you’re well! 💜

Sarah Losoya

You are a gem Alanda! Helping me get through these trying times. I’m so glad I became a member. Sending you love 🫶🏼

RC Flores

Popped in my VHS on Friday and watched it. I guess I'm watching it again.

Joshua Grande

As a “sober” (papa smokes weed still though :P lolol) individual I appreciate the specification. You keep me going!

Diego Loewenstein

Sarah Jessica Parker 🔥🔥

Jack Cameron

this was one of the funnest reactions to have watched, your love for this film just oozed through the screen 🥹. been a pretty rough couple of days, so having this and cackling right along with you was very much needed for my soul! 💜🫶

Angelfire@87

Love, love, LOVE this movie ALWAYS! It's a childhood memory, a staple, a keystone. And my current Halloween project, I am building the LEGO Sanderson Sister House. So much fun! Looking forward to this reaction and I will have to re-watch to properly participate in the game.

Shauna

Oooo can’t wait to watch this w you while i get ready for work ☺️ have theee best day Alanda

Cameron

Can’t believe this is my first time seeing this. Where have I been for 25 years😅

KidKryptonite420

Loved watching this film in over 2 decades again with you. I had a drink, but knew I wouldn't be able to play that game before getting sick and took it steady. You a real one Alanda.

Collin Mouton

I thought I knew my tolerance level but I'm lit like a Christmas tree.

NySwagtaz

Disney had me in such a choke hold around this time. Lol i still go back watch all the halloween stuff.

Maria V

Nostalgia classic! One of the best. The Disney girls today could never

Milla

Legacy Lee💞🐆

Hey Alanda, it’s around 3am, I just got home from the hospital where I’ve been all day, my beloved aunt had two aneurism, and passed away. All day has been nothing but sobs and aches, but this genuinely gave me a bit of light. Thank you girl🫶🏽💌
