Funny Movie submitted by andreahubert on July 1, 2012, 11:46am This movie was funny. Some parts may be scary for smaller kids, but it's a fun Halloween movie.

so funny submitted by airgood on July 21, 2014, 10:18am This movie is pretty hilarious, even after seeing it several times. The witches were cast perfectly- they are slightly scary for younger audiences while also being ditzy and humorous. It's one to watch every fall!

Scary, campy film submitted by purchasingqueen on August 31, 2016, 10:24pm Didn't realize how scary this was until I watched it again as an adult!

lovely submitted by rjsjwilliams on July 27, 2018, 4:32pm Halloween movie that is fun to watch anytime. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy are perfectly cast and the three witches who were executed during the witch trials in Salem. They are now back and have hilarious fun with children as they try to curse them now as they did when they died.

Enjoyable even today submitted by ferielp on July 27, 2018, 7:35pm I saw this for the first time and finally understand why it is a Halloween staple. It's funny and heartfelt and the charcters hold up.

Amazing Halloween Movie submitted by kyliecrook6 on July 16, 2022, 10:32am Great movie for the halloween season! Only a few scary parts, so good for the family!

A Classic submitted by GSchne on July 24, 2022, 9:11am I shared this childhood favorite with my young son around Halloween and it passed his test. He wasn't able to follow the plot at all, but loved "the silly ladies." Definitely planning to make this one a Halloween tradition in our house.

One of the best movies ever submitted by Helengio on July 13, 2023, 12:04pm I love this movie so much and I love the second one too. I like to watch them when it's not Halloween too. They are funny and not scary. I am seven years old.

Halloween Classic! submitted by pjaynes on July 31, 2023, 5:28pm This movie is a Halloween classic for a reason-- it's spooky, but not scary; it's funny enough for kids and adults; it has several sweet sibling relationships; and of course, it has a show-stopping musical number led by the one and only Bette Midler. Hocus Pocus is worth a rewatch every fall!
