'Hocus Pocus' Is Celebrating Their 25th Anniversary With A Huge Reunion

Buena Vista Pictures

October is here, which means we are officially in Halloween season! And you know what that means, it's time to re-watch all spooky favorites. Bu tall of us 90s kids know that Hocus Pocus is the best of the best.

Watching the Sanderson sisters be revived after all those years away was an annual tradition, and it made us all wonder if we would be as brave as Dani and Max were.

It honestly doesn't matter how many times we watch it, it's always just as good as the first time. I can never chose which character is my favorite, because they are literally all so good. Whether you loved Thackery the cat, Billy the zombie, or the witches themselves, there are so many good characters to make this movie a classic.

It has been 25 years since Hocus Pocus came out, and they are going to celebrate it in a big way. The celebration will take place on October 20th, and they've got a lot in store.

Freeform will be hosting the TV special that will include interviews with Sarah Jessica Parker, AKA Sarah Sanderson, Kathy Najimy, AKA Mary Sanderson, and while Bette Midler isn't confirmed yet, they have said that there are some "special surprise guests" who will be making appearances as well.

I mean, it wouldn't really be a reunion without her, so let's all hope that she shows up.

That's not all though, they are planing on catching up with both Max and Dani Denison, with both Omri Katz and Thora Birch coming in to face the Sanderson sisters again, and none other than Doug Jones, the one and only Billy Butcherson, will be back to discuss his iconic role.

It's not just the stars of the movie we will get to see, the director, choreographer, and composer will also be joining in with the fun to discuss how they worked together to make the most perfect Halloween movie ever.

They've also got a bunch of musical performances lined up, as well as a costume contest for people who attend the event when it films in Los Angeles on October 2nd. If you happen to be in LA, you can join the wait list here.

But as for the rest of us who can't make it out to the live show, they will be airing the event on October 20th starting at 8:15 pm.

Along with the interviews and special guests, the movie will be aired with some pop-up trivia, quotes, and commentary from the cast and crew, so even if you've seen it a million times you'll likely learn something new!

I don't know about you, but there's nothing that gets me more excited for Halloween than Hocus Pocus!

Although we knew that the movie adaption of Meg Cabot's "The Princess Diaries" book series was a work of fiction, we still couldn't help but wish that we had a long-lost grandmother who would one day show up to rescue us from our boring life, and inform us that we were the princess of a European country called Genovia. VarietyThe dream has been slowly dying since the 2001 movie and its sequel were released. However, we still won't hesitate to watch the movie any chance we get and live vicariously through Mia Thermopolis. DisneyAnyway, in our quest to learn more

Over 35 Years Later, Is It Still A Hard-Knock Life For Little Orphan Annie?

Growing up, the movie Annie was one of my all-time favorites. As a little girl with red curly hair, I was just so excited to see someone who looked like me in a movie! Not only that, but the story and music were enough to warm hearts all over the world. The original movie came out in 1982, based off the comic strip in 1924 and the Broadway musical in 1977. Aileen Quinn, who played little orphan Annie, instantly became a household favorite with her bright personality and even brighter hair. She was only 11 when the movie came out,
