Did You Know These Facts About the Original 'Hocus Pocus'??

The movie was originally going to be called “Halloween House,” and was going to be much darker than what it ended up being.

“What I had written originally was about 12-year-olds,” co-writer Mick Garris said in 2017. “The kids being younger and in more jeopardy was certainly something more explicitly frightening.”

It was inspired by producer David Kirschner telling a bedtime story to his kids.
