'Hocus Pocus' Is Celebrating Their 25th Anniversary With A Huge Reunion

Buena Vista Pictures

October is here, which means we are officially in Halloween season! And you know what that means, it's time to re-watch all spooky favorites. Bu tall of us 90s kids know that Hocus Pocus is the best of the best.

Watching the Sanderson sisters be revived after all those years away was an annual tradition, and it made us all wonder if we would be as brave as Dani and Max were.

It honestly doesn't matter how many times we watch it, it's always just as good as the first time. I can never chose which character is my favorite, because they are literally all so good. Whether you loved Thackery the cat, Billy the zombie, or the witches themselves, there are so many good characters to make this movie a classic.

It has been 25 years since Hocus Pocus came out, and they are going to celebrate it in a big way. The celebration will take place on October 20th, and they've got a lot in store.

Freeform will be hosting the TV special that will include interviews with Sarah Jessica Parker, AKA Sarah Sanderson, Kathy Najimy, AKA Mary Sanderson, and while Bette Midler isn't confirmed yet, they have said that there are some "special surprise guests" who will be making appearances as well.

I mean, it wouldn't really be a reunion without her, so let's all hope that she shows up.

That's not all though, they are planing on catching up with both Max and Dani Denison, with both Omri Katz and Thora Birch coming in to face the Sanderson sisters again, and none other than Doug Jones, the one and only Billy Butcherson, will be back to discuss his iconic role.

It's not just the stars of the movie we will get to see, the director, choreographer, and composer will also be joining in with the fun to discuss how they worked together to make the most perfect Halloween movie ever.

They've also got a bunch of musical performances lined up, as well as a costume contest for people who attend the event when it films in Los Angeles on October 2nd. If you happen to be in LA, you can join the wait list here.

But as for the rest of us who can't make it out to the live show, they will be airing the event on October 20th starting at 8:15 pm.

Along with the interviews and special guests, the movie will be aired with some pop-up trivia, quotes, and commentary from the cast and crew, so even if you've seen it a million times you'll likely learn something new!

I don't know about you, but there's nothing that gets me more excited for Halloween than Hocus Pocus!

A Behind-The-Scenes Look At The New Aladdin Is Here And At Least One Of Our Wishes Was Granted

We've been waiting patiently, okay mostly patiently, since Disney announced that Aladdin was being remade. The cartoon remains one of the most iconic movies of all time, and the fact that they were going to try and bring it to life with real humans instead of the animated versions was kind of concerning. We saw the first trailer a while ago, but the only character we actually saw up close was Aladdin himself. We didn't see how the Genie looked, or Jasmine, or any of the other characters. But now, Entertainment Weekly has given us all the first look at

The interview is a good 35 minutes of reminiscing and sharing memories that all make us remember the iconic comedy as the treasure it truly is. Pierce Brosnan, Matthew Lawrence, Lisa Jakub,

Tim Allen Reveals The Original Plan For 'The Santa Clause' Was Way Too Dark For Disney

We've all seen The Santa Clause at least a dozen times, right? It's a Christmas classic and ever since it was released, it has become a staple in our holiday movie schedule. There's something about the movie that manages to keep that Christmas feeling without being way too over the top or corny. I mean, sure, Tim Allen literally becomes Santa, but somehow it all feels like that's totally plausible. The sequels may not have the same realistic feeling, but the original remains iconic. However, Allen just revealed that the original plan for the movie was a lot darker than
