How to stream Hocus Pocus in the UK this Halloween

Hocus Pocus is a staple film throughout the festive period and it's available to stream on Disney+.

The 1993 classic follows the three Sandersons sisters, who are conjured by some unsuspecting pranksters, and then set out to cast a spell on the town and reclaim their youth.

It stars Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy as the 300-year-old witches who need to outwit three kids, Max, Dani and Allison as well as talking cat Thackery Binx.

Despite not being a huge success upon its initial release, the film has slowly become a cult classic over the years following its release on DVD and screenings on Disney Channel.

It's now a firm favourite during the autumn months, with the three sisters also becoming a popular choice for Halloween costumes each year and Bette Midler performing 'I Put a Spell on You' - dressed as Winnie - during her headline tour.

Plus it's also been confirmed that a sequel is in development as a Disney+ original film, which will be directed by Adam Shankman best known for his work on Hairspray.

Other Disney Halloween favourites you can stream include Halloweentown, Tim Burton's Frakenweenie, Edward Scissorhands, A Nightmare Before Christmas and The Haunted Mansion, as well as The Simpsons 'Treehouse of Horror' specials.

You can sign up to Disney+ with a free seven-day trial, and then cancel your subscription or continue it for £5.99 per month or £59.99 per year.
