Hocus Pocus (PG)


  • Gloucester Guildhall 23 Eastgate Street Gloucester United Kingdom (map)

Dir: Kenny Ortega | USA | 1993 | 96 mins
Cast | Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy, Omri Katz, Thora Birch, Vinessa Shaw

You're in for a devil of a time with Kenny Ortega’s spooky, zany, sweet-natured family comedy, starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy as three outlandishly wild witches resurrected after 300 years. 

After moving to Salem, teenager Max (Omri Katz) explores an abandoned house with his sister Dani (Thora Birch) and their new friend Allison (Vinessa Shaw) and accidentally frees a coven of evil 17th century witches (Midler, Parker, Najimy). Now, with the help of a magical cat, the kids must steal the witches' book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal and exacting revenge.

While you’re in town, why not also check out the Totally Chaotic Roman History Gets Rowdy Trail taking place at the Museum of Gloucester this half term! Kids can explore the amazing world of Roman Britain, hear expert interruptions from Dr Emma Southon and enjoy illustrations by Rikin Parekh.
