"Hocus Pocus" [1] is the best Halloween movie of all time [2]. That's right, I said it. It's a classic that should be enjoyed each year as a reminder of what a truly well-rounded Halloween movie [3] is. It's hilarious with just a hint of darkness, and it never takes itself too seriously. If you have ever seen a black cat and wondered if it was really Thackery Binx, then you know exactly what I'm talking about when I say that "Hocus Pocus [4]" is a timeless film. Plus, the cast is iconic, with Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker [5] and Kathy Najimy portraying the trio of witches that awakens after hundreds of years to wreak witchy chaos on the town of Salem, Massachusetts.

The movie also gives us a ton of Halloween costume inspiration [6] each year, and fans of the characters (including pups [7]!) go all out to show their love. We rounded up amazing interpretations of the Sanderson sisters [8], Billy Butcherson, Dani and Max Dennison, Thackery Binx in both cat and human form, and more. Whether you're looking for a couple's costume [9], a group costume [10], a solo look, or of course, the perfect look for a trio, read on to get some ideas for this year's costume [11]!
