How to Watch Hocus Pocus Online, on TV, in Theaters This Halloween

All Hallow’s Eve is almost upon us, which means it’s time to start scaring up all your favorite cinematic and small screen screams, and let’s be real here: No Halloween is quite complete without a visit from the Sanderson sisters.

It’s been 25 years since Hocus Pocus first summoned all the children to come out and play with Winifred (Bette Midler), Mary (Kathy Najimy), and Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) Sanderson as they put a spell on the townsfolk of Salem, Mass., and unlike that witchy trio, the movie never gets old.

So, before you go out hopping on a flying vacuum or running amok amok amok to try and track down the film, we’ve gathered up the goods on where you can watch Hocus Pocus ahead of Halloween this season. Rustle up your salt circle and continue on to find out where and when to see the mini-occult in action once again.

It’s no magic book, but, hey, it’ll do.
