It’s Halloween and once again we’re all diving into our favorite Halloween movies. That means you’re probably looking for whether or not Hocus Pocus, a Halloween staple, is streaming on Netflix. Here’s your 2020 update on when Hocus Pocus will be on Netflix, where it’s streaming if not, and some details about Hocus Pocus 2.
Hocus Pocus was first released back in 1993 but arguably has only gained its popularity long after the movie was first released at the box office. One explanation for the popularity is because Disney Channel and Freeform regularly air the movie every year, hence it is now a Halloween staple.
Of course, the movie has also gained popularity in recent years thanks to numerous rumors of remakes and sequels. Just this year, Disney released a book titled “Hocus Pocus and the All-New Sequel” and we’re expecting a movie to follow in upcoming years.

About the Hocus Pocus typeface
Hocus Pocus is a family and comedy movie that was released in the USA on 16 July 1993. The production company responsible for this movie was none other than Walt Disney Productions, and it was directed by Kenny Ortega. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy are the three main stars. The central plot for the movie starts in Salem, Massachusetts in 1693. During this time three witches cast a spell on one of the local towns people (Emily Binx) to steal away her youth. This ultimately kills her. The three witches are then sentences to death. Fast forward to the modern age, and the witches are accidentally brought back to life by local LA resident Max Dennison. The rest of the movie revolves around attempts to recapture the witches and send them back to the grave.
