Movie Review: “Hocus Pocus”



1693

The Sanderson sisters (Winifred (Bette Midler), Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker), and Mary (Kathy Najimy)) are witches in Salem, Massachusetts. They have figured out a way to steal eternal life for themselves by sucking the life out of a young girl, Emily.

Go to IMDb for more information.
