A mess, a mess, a mess! Oh my. How I've longed for and dreaded this
day."Hocus Pocus" is such a lightning-in-a-bottle film. Like other cult movies, it was panned on release but managed to gain a wide base of loyal fans...including me! I can't think of another film that manages to capture the joy of the holiday quite as well: the beautiful aesthetic; the nostalgia; the barely restrained sense of adventure; and the big, over-
the-top goofiness that's tempered by just the right amount of danger.I've A mess, a mess, a mess! Oh my. How I've longed for and dreaded this day."Hocus Pocus" is such a lightning-in-a-bottle film. Like other cult movies, it was panned on release but managed to gain a wide base of loyal fans...including me! I can't think of another film that manages to
capture the joy of the holiday quite as well: the beautiful aesthetic; the nostalgia; the barely restrained sense of adventure; and the big, over-the-top goofiness that's tempered by just the right amount of danger.I've spent an embarrassing amount of time watching the film, going to themed parties, taking tours, and -- of course -- thinking about what
might have happened to Max, Allison, and Dani after Halloween 1993. Of course we all wanted a sequel, but instead of the false Tina Fey rumors (seriously, who would be better to resurrect Winifred, Sarah, and Mary Sanderson?), we got a book.I'm pretty sure everyone knew a book wasn't the ideal format for a "Hocus Pocus" sequel but hey, after 25
years, you take what you can get, right? So I bought it the first day it was available.Aaaaand...well, here we go.THE NOVELIZATIONThe first third of the book is a novelization of the film. It's pretty cute, but suffers from a lot of the same problems all novelizations have.Movie scripts don't translate well into books, and a lot of scenes that work on the
screen just don't work on the page. The worst offender was the "I Put a Spell on You" sequence. I get that it needs to be in there because it's a plot point, but did they really need to describe EVERY ACTUAL SECOND of that scene? Seriously, every time Sarah and Mary sing a backup line, it's translated onto the page. Every time the musicians play a
riff, the drummer hits a high-hat, or someone in the audience screams in delight, we're told about it. This continues for about five pages. Like Marcel Proust, I'm in search of my lost time.Anyway, it's even worse because while the author includes that, she doesn't bother to include the fun, stand-out scenes from the film. There's no silly "Dad-cula"
jokes, "watch your language" retorts after Max says "sucks," and no scene with the fake cop who pulls Max aside to ask if he's really a virgin. Why? Why?? It's classic!The author also doesn't really know how to deal with scenes that revolve solely around the Sanderson sisters. Instead of taking a third-person omniscient point of view, she sticks to a
sort of limited third-person narration and can't decide how to describe modern items like televisions, buses, or service vehicles. Sometimes we get straightforward narration, but other times we get long, tortured descriptions of modern objects from the point of the view of the witches...and ugh. It's not funny; it's boring and weird.The format is also a
little odd; it starts out with alternating chapters telling the story of Thackery and Emily Binx as well as Max and Dani Dennison. Thankfully, it only continues until the prologue portion of the film is over, but it's still a weird structural choice and a bit distracting.Content-wise, there's not a lot new in the novelization. We get a few more details about
Max and Dani's move to Salem, their relationship with each other, and how they're adjusting to their new home. We also see more of the burgeoning relationship between Max and Allison, and get a couple of glimpses into the Sanderson sisters' past, including their home life and how they interacted with the village. The author also fills out the
characterization of the main characters a bit more, and we learn a lot more about who Allison is and a little bit more about Max and Winifred. She doesn't bother to flesh out the other characters as much, but that's fine.The writing is okay. It's a bit better than you'd normally see in a novelization, and there are a few skillful descriptions that manage to
create a good sense of place. I also got the feeling that the author really cared about the characters, which was sweet. Overall, the novelization was mostly included to slip in a few new bits of information and set up for the sequel. It wasn't necessary, but it was still kind of fun. On its own, it probably warrants 3 or 4 stars.THE SEQUELThe bulk of the
book is the "all-new sequel," which for some reason didn't warrant a name. It picks up in October 2018, 25 years after the events of the film. Max and Allison's daughter, Poppy, is a normal high school student trying to navigate bullies, crushes, and her own bland-but-pretentious photography (very high school!). She's also got a big secret: her parents
and aunt actually believe in witchcraft--specifically the Sanderson sisters. It's all very embarrassing.We learn that Max has gone on to become a high school history teacher, Allison is now a lawyer, and Dani hangs out a lot with her brother, sister-in-law, and niece.For the upcoming Halloween (which happens to fall on a night with a blood moon), they
plan a big holiday party at their house to keep an eye on Poppy and make sure she's safe. But Poppy has other plans. In order to impress her crush, Isabella, she sneaks out with her, best friend Trevor, and a spirit board to break into the Sanderson sisters' home. One accidental spell later, she's summoned Winifred, Sarah, and Mary back from Hell in
exchange for her parents and Aunt Dani.Now, in order to rescue her family, she and her friends must find the missing blood moonstone and break all the Sandersons' spells for good.The setup actually isn't bad. With Max, Allison, and Dani relegated to Hell, the stakes are raised, and the search-and-destroy quest plot is a fun departure from the keep-
away game the kids play with the witches in the first film. I also like Poppy and her friends, even if they're a little under-developed.Unfortunately, the setup just never delivers. The blood moonstone proves far too easy (view spoiler)[ to find (hide spoiler)], and the final act drags on and ON AND ON. The teenage characters are also far less resourceful
than Max, Allison, and Dani were; instead of coming up with their own plans, they rely on other deus ex machina characters (more on that later) and spend their time reassuring each other that everything is going to be okay,.The author also tries to shoehorn technology into the plot, with mixed results. Seeing the Sanderson sisters find an iPhone and
use Siri was pretty hilarious and felt like something that could have happened in the film, but going on to use the phone to (view spoiler)[bewitch the entire town of Salem (hide spoiler)] felt pretty stupid and forced. The witches' tactics in the film worked just as well (even better, TBH) and it seemed like a wasted effort to make the sequel feel modern.
The kids also list off random social media platforms for no reason and sometimes slip into text speak, which feels less organic and more like an older YA author attempting to be relevant.Several characters from the film make walk-on appearances, including blonde bully Jay (who has somehow gone on to become a principal), Binx and Emily (who
seemed nothing like themselves and whose inclusion mostly felt sad--they should be off enjoying the afterlife!), and the seafood restaurant owner (random, but kind of fun). Binx and Emily, along with new character (view spoiler)[and surprise fourth Sanderson sister (hide spoiler)] Elizabeth, mainly exist as deus ex machina plot points, who have
randomly helpful and specific knowledge and who tell Poppy and her friends exactly what to do to beat the witches.The humor is also really lame and forced. The Sanderson sisters repeat all the same jokes from the film, including endless variations of Sarah's "Amuk! Amuk! Amuk!" line and musical numbers that have ABSOLUTELY NO POINT.
Seriously! You have to sit through and READ two separate musical numbers that serve no purpose to the plot and take up at least five pages. The witches also ride various "haha, that's not a broom" items, including a rake, a Swiffer, a leaf blower, and a Roomba, and the diminishing returns are so thin that by the end, you'll want to throw the book
across the room. There are also never-ending witch puns, including "witch please" and (sigh) "resting witch face."The narration is pretty poor. The author chooses the trendy first-person present-tense device that's so popular in YA right now to narrate Poppy's portions of the novel, switching to third-person limited present-tense to describe what's
happening with the Sanderson sisters. It's so weird. It works for Poppy's portion, but the witches' scenes just fall flat. The present-tense is distracting, and the whole thing feels like I'm reading badly written fan fiction that's describing a badly written fan film.Finally, the whole sequel ends with a completely unnecessary cliffhanger intended to allow
room for a lot more "Hocus Pocus" installments, which...honestly, do we even need those? This franchise was NOT set up to allow for multiple entries. A sequel is perfectly fine, but Winnie, Sarah, and Mary would wear out their welcome REALLY quickly if this became an annual thing.I wanted to like this so much, especially after the beginning was so
promising, but it just...didn't deliver. FINAL VERDICTI don't know, Disney. I was super happy to get a sequel to (and even a novelization of!) this Halloween classic, but this wasn't the one I wanted.I liked the characters, I liked the setup, and I even liked a few of the jokes...but you've got to be able to deliver. This book could never decide if it wanted
to be scary, romantic, funny, a franchise-builder, or just a light-hearted romp with some old favorite characters. The result is a tonally uneven, sometimes deeply unfunny book that wore me out before it was even halfway through. I probably won't pick this up again, and I definitely won't recommend it to any but the most devoted fans.Overall, this is
probably 2.5 regretful, witchy stars. "Hocus Pocus" deserved better than this. ...more Something went wrong. Wait a moment and try again. Free shipping with no order minimum required.

Then, all Hocus Pocus breaks loose and the Sanderson Sisters are conjured back up again in this fun, comedic new take!Helpful?such a great condition and it comes with a nice boxHelpful?July 9, 2021Full disclosure: I'm a HUGE “Hocus Pocus” fan. I was 10 when it came out and saw it in the theatre several times, and of course I had the VHS, I still
watch it several times during the month of October, and I even have a replica of Dani's jacket and several Hocus Pocus decorations and clothing. I've always wished for a movie sequel, and when I heard there was a book version out, I was unsure if I was going to ever read it, and reading some unfavorable reviews didn't help my decision. But after
watching the cast perform in an online benefit event, my curiosity won the better of me and I decided to give it a chance. ⁣ The first half of the book is basically a retread of the movie, with a few additions sprinkled throughout that hint at events in the sequel. I enjoyed reading the first part, as it was just like watching the movie all over again. The
second hand of the book picks up 25 years after Max, Dani, and Allison defeated the Sanderson sisters. Max and Allison have a teenage daughter, Poppy. Poppy doesn't believe in her family's story with the witches, but she finds the truth out the hard way on Halloween night when an innocent game with friends resurrects Winifred, Sarah, and Mary. ⁣ I
enjoyed the addition to the Sanderson sister lore with the character of Elizabeth, and seeing old favorites like Binx, however briefly. Also, the scene with the witches being baffled by an IPhone made me laugh out loud. There were a few things that I felt could have either been left out or changed though. The character of Dani isn't given as much
attention or updates like other characters, and one of Poppy's friends is turned into an animal like Binx, and it felt unnecessary. Winifred also came across as more of the focus as opposed to Sarah and Mary, whereas in the movie all 3 shared the spotlight. The battle at the end also seemed to go on for quite a while and almost became repetitive.
Speaking of repetitive, Poppy also has a crush on her friend Isabella and her pining after her and some of the comments she made came across as overdramatic. I get it, I was a teenager once too, but still...how many more times do I have to read the same inner monologue? ⁣ If you're craving some more “Hocus Pocus” until the sequel is released, this is
a breezy and silly read that brings back all the nostalgia feels. ⁣Written by a Library Thing customer.Helpful?Bought one for myself and one for my daughter! Our favorite movie!Helpful?May 11, 2021I really loved reading the Hocus Pocus story. It stayed true to the movie but did have some additions to keep it interesting. I really liked being able to
know exactly what Max was thinking. The additions also helped to set up the sequel. The sequel was fun and cute while doing a great job to pay homage to the original. It somewhat follows the same type of plot points as the original which did make it drag just a little which is why I rated it only four stars.Written by a Library Thing customer.Helpful?
