The Haunted History of Hocus Pocus - Halloween Special

In this Halloween Special, I explore the history of the 1993 Disney film Hocus Pocus, starting with its basis in the real history of the Salem Witch Trials, the making of the film, my thoughts on the movie itself, its release, and finally, its legacy and unlikely enduring popularity today. Hocus Pocus is one of my favorite Halloween movies, and I hope you enjoy my retelling of its fascinating story.

To be fair, the village parents would have an idea what happened to Emily, Thackeray sent his friend to get the elders. When they arrived they would have found Emily dead and have an immediate right to hang them. Like mentioned in your history part, there (most likely) would have been a trial - but Emily’s death and missing Thackeray gave them the “right” to hang them.

Of course, I was just making a silly joke, but at the same time, I do find it weird that he doesn't express any anger onscreen at his daughter being killed.

So apparently Satan offers NIL deals too huh?

[@ExtraordinaryPeoples]

He does, but accepting could get you charged with witchcraft.
