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.
#HOCUS POCUS BUS DRIVER MOVIE#
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.
