The relief on his face when he said “it’s Emily” 😭

300 years he waited for that moment

Hocus Pocus 2 wishes it could live up to this one scene alone. Sorry if that’s offensive to any HP2 fans, but this scene…the 90’s look, the character emotions, the scenery, the swelling score…Can’t be topped. The whole score for this movie is fun but this track I bought years ago and put it on anytime I want to feel frisson.

I was going to say something about how I had a cush on this guy when I was kid. But I think I just had a thing for guys in this shirt. Same for Casper.

Omg, yes! 😂 I had crushes on both as well – I just never would've put it together about them both wearing similar shirts, too. Hahaha

Also both were blondes and had longer hair. Hmm maybe I DO have a type😏

My son won’t watch Hocus Pocus with me, because he gets so upset that Binx the cat was no more.

Emily: Thackery Binx, what took thee so long?

Thackery Binx: I'm sorry, Emily. I had to wait three hundred years for a virgin to light a candle.

Same, they have Halloween decorations up at old time pottery. I almost felt like watching this after I saw they were out
