The Kill Counter: Hocus Pocus (Video)

Ever wondered how many people lose their lives in any particular horror movie? Well, we've got you covered with THE KILL COUNTER, our hit series takes out the guesswork and counts every death on (and sometimes off) screen. Break out your calculator and try to keep up!

On this week's episode, we take on director Kenny Ortega and Mick Garris & Neil Cuthbert's comedy-horror HOCUS POCUS starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy, Omri Katz, Thora Birch, and Vinessa Shaw, with Jason Marsden, and Doug Jones as Billy Butcherson.

The Halloween holiday classic begins

After moving to Salem, Mass., teenager Max Dennison (Omri Katz) explores an abandoned house with his sister Dani (Thora Birch) and their new friend, Allison (Vinessa Shaw). After dismissing a story Allison tells as superstitious, Max accidentally frees a coven of evil witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy) who used to live in the house. Now, with the help of a magical cat, the kids must steal the witches' book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal. 

HOCUS POCUS was directed by Kenny Ortega from a screenplay written by Neil Cuthbert and Mick Garris (THE STAND). It starred Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, Sarah Jessica Parker, Omri Katz, Thora Birch, and Vinessa Shaw, with Jason Marsden as the voice of Binks, and Doug Jones as Billy Butcherson.
