Thank You @TheSpineView for creating this fun play-card 🐎 & for the tag ☺️👍💝.

1 - I try to dress up every year, even if it is low-key-simple...like saving a new pair of character slippers for Halloween night 😂.

2 - Hocus Pocus! Probably won't finish part two until after Halloween. Part one (a novelization of the original movie) was Spooktacular 🧹🧹🧹🎬📚💫!

I have not read many novelizations, yet this is the best written one that I have come across.

Novelizations can seem impersonal. Events of the story more reported...told instead of shown. Even my Batman Begins book felt this way in some parts.

A.W. Jantha did an exquisite job taking Hocus Pocus from movie to book. Beautifully written and given respect on the page. There is true feeling weaved into the storyline all the way through.

AnnCrystal This is nearly identical to the movie, with a few minor exceptions: hidden in next three comments 👇 2mo

1- Some omissions (When Thachery was pushed away by his father and called a beast after he was first transformed into a cat. And the cop who wasn't a cop).

2- Although the flow remained intact, there were a few differences in a few scenes and/or dialogues.

AnnCrystal 3- And a few additions to the storyline (the most interesting was when Winifred recalled a cemetery wedding from over 300 years ago just before the bus driver scene. And the name Elizabeth Sanderson as being logged as the last mistress of the Sanderson's Book of shadows which is added to the scene when Allison opens the book in Max's room to try and find a way to help Binx).

AnnCrystal The “added scenes“ must help build a foundation for the new continuation...which I should begin tonight 😉📚💝.

The movie and the novelization are equally excellent...now both are favorites amongst my movie-AND-book favorites.

Hi @BookwormAHN 🐈‍⬛😊💝.

This book gave me two search words, Pumpkin and Cider equalling 30 points.

I managed to read another four hours between the 23rd - 26th, equalling 40 points.

Plus 20 extra points for being a, Spooky or Autumn themed read.

These 90 points together with my previous 210 points all totals to 300 pts.

Thank You.

Hopefully I will read the remainder of part one (which is the original movie) tonight.

Read while enjoying an Empanada 🥟 💝. Been meaning to snap a photo of my mama's pumpkin Empanadas every weekend...they usually vanish before I get a chance 😋😂💝. We didn't make apple this year, only pumpkin.

Been meaning to read this for every Halloween since I purchased this book!

It has been a few years since adding this book to my library 😂.

I always run across it in November and say, “Oops, I guess next year.“

One of my favorite movies 🎬📚💝...this is the year I discover if the novelization and sequel are just as good 🤞😉💝.

When is this being made into a movie??? I loved it. I've always been a massive Hocus Pocus fan. I always wanted to be Sarah but I fear in age I have become Winifred. The sequel take us back to Salem and we meet Allison and Max' daughter. I love seeing the continuation of the movie. I just hope that if they do make it into a movie that they only use the original cast. It wouldn't be the same without them.
