Hocus Pocus
Directed by Kenny Ortega , the original film marked the imagination of many kids of the 90s, with a funny and vaguely dark story set on Halloween and with three very particular witches as protagonists. The plot:
Some pranksters unwittingly conjure up three eccentric witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy) from the 1700s Salem. Thus begins a night of hilarious nonsense. The witches want to cast a spell on the city to recover their youth … but first they’ll have to get back on their feet and beat three kids and a talking cat.
