HOCUS POCUS MOVIE | ADD-ON EXPERIENCE
LIMITED ENGAGEMENT | 1993 FEATURE FILM | 1H 36M | PG
You’re in for a devil of a time when three outlandishly wild witches—Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy—return from 17th-century Salem after some unsuspecting pranksters accidentally conjure them up. It’s a night full of zany fun and comic chaos once the tricky 300-year-old trio sets out to cast a spell on the town and reclaim their youth—but first, they must get their act together and outwit three kids and a talking cat! Loaded with bewitching laughs, Hocus Pocus is an outrageously wild comedy that’s sure to entertain everyone!
