Disney's Hocus Pocus is a Halloween cult classic. The 1993 film, starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy as a trio of ancient witches who wreak havoc on Salem, Mass. has been a huge financial success despite a dismal box office showing. Continuing to attract big numbers during re-airs and making millions on DVD and VOD sales, the now-celebrated Halloween staple proved its staying power, and yet somehow didn't immediately fall victim to the trend of sequels and reboots that's swept through Hollywood in recent years.
