Kenny Ortega’s HOCUS POCUS has become a Halloween staple since its 1993 release for audiences everywhere, and we are bringing the wickedly fun movie to the big screen this October.
Cast out by Salem society and burned at the stake, The Sanderson Sisters (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy) return centuries later for revenge and find themselves anachronistically placed in modern society. While they seem to thrive in a less restrictive society, their continued quest for youth makes them villains. Ironically, it is their quest for youth and beauty that makes them unacceptable to the community despite the source of the quest being fueled by societal pressures placed upon women.
HOCUS POCUS is an O Cinema + Flaming Classics co-presentation, bringing a unique performance to each screening. On Saturday, October 13th, there will be a late night performance by Andro Gin following the film. On Sunday, October 14th, there will be a family friendly performance by Jupiter Velvet following the film.
