Twenty-five years ago, on a not-so-spooky night in July of 1993, a Halloween movie hit movie theaters across the country. It was a giant flop, and for some reason, received terrible reviews.

Hocus Pocus has become the
A Christmas Story of Halloween. It is such a cult classic that this year, for the first time ever, it has its own marathon set for Halloween night.

For the first time ever, ABC Freeform (formerly ABC Family) has extended its famous 13 Nights of Halloween schedule to be 31 Nights of Halloween. Not surprisingly, the new schedule is dominated by Hocus Pocus as part of the film's 25th anniversary.
