Winifred was still dead at this time, and as she didn’t know who lit the candle, it is unlikely she could have heard him.ġ4.

Late in the film, Winifred quotes Max (and the movie title) when she exclaims, “It’s all just a bunch of Hocus Pocus!” Max said this while lighting the black flame candle.

If he’s been dead for 300 years, that skin would have long decayed, leaving him nothing but a skeleton.ġ3. Billy the Butcher), Zombie Billy still has skin. When Winifred resurrects Billy Butcherson (aka. Salem did not have their own bus line in 1993.ġ2. Salem, Massachusetts did not have its own bus line in 1993 and would have been using the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority bus system. The movie claims that the Sanderson sisters were hanged in Salem on October 31, 1963, despite the fact that the Salem Witch Trials ended in 1692.ġ1.

However, the first manual vacuum cleaner wasn’t invented until the 1860s, so Mary wouldn’t know what a vacuum cleaner is, in order to associate it with a broom and a mop.ġ0. Her sister, Sarah, flies away on a mop, which makes sense because mops have been around since at least the 15th century. When Mary Sanderson flies away on a vacuum cleaner, the joke is that she couldn’t find a broom, so she found the next best thing. (He is also not James’ brother.) Sean Murray was later McGee in NCIS but made his big-screen debut earlier in the year in This Boy’s Life. Jason Marsden was the voice of Thackery and went onto become a prolific voice over actor. The actor who plays Thackery Binx, Sean Murray, is not the same person who voiced the character. (Which is what almost every kid I knew thought it was.) This is a common misspelling of the surname of William Makepeace Thackeray, an 18th century novelist.Ĩ.

The cat’s name is Thackery Binx, not Zachary Binx. Director Kenny Ortega wanted Leo for this role.ħ. Those roles were originally offered to Leonardo DiCaprio and Rosie O’Donnell. Neither Omri Katz nor Kathy Najimy were originally supposed to appear in the film.

Question: Recognize Binx the cat? The animatronic cat became even more famous as a cast member of this teen TV show from the 90s:Ħ. If the lighter were already filled, the lighter fluid would have likely evaporated in the years since the Sanderson museum closed. In order to use a Zippo lighter, you have to fill it with lighter fluid first. When Max summons the “burning rain of death,” he uses a Zippo lighter for the Sanderson museum gift-store counter. (Perhaps he was looking for the bear bar and got lost in time?) The outfit of the executor is an anachronism.ĥ. The executioner who was responsible for hanging the Sanderson sisters is wearing a leather outfit with metal spikes, a get up a tad too modern for late 17th century Salem.

There was no full moon on Halloween in 1993.Ĥ. There hadn’t been a full moon on Halloween since 1974, and the next Halloween full moon appeared in 2020. Halloween that year was on a Sunday and there was no full moon. The movie takes place on Halloween in 1993. The implication is that she’s not a virgin.ģ. This is because only a virgin can light the black flame candle. When Max (Omri Katz) offers to let his love interest Allison (Vinessa Shaw) light the black flame candle, she smiles and coyly declines. Margarine wasn’t invented until the 1800s, with the discovery of margaric acid in 1813, and wouldn’t be available as a butter substitute until 1869. The Sanderson sisters often refer to cooking with margarine. This is what happens when you try to apply logic to early 90s Disney movies, and in a weird way, I think it makes me like this witch film more. Through a recent re-watching of Hocus Pocus (while procrastinating on a grad school paper) and a little research on the film, I discovered that the movie is filled with goofs, weird facts and interesting in-jokes that don’t technically make any sense. Through this movie I learned what virginity and yabos were, but there were lots of things I, apparently, did not pick up on. I would curl up on the couch with my parents every Halloween to watch a movie technically too old for my age group. Like almost everyone else in the world, Hocus Pocus (1993) was one of my favorite movies as a kid.
