Two dress-up screenings of Hocus Pocus coming to Edinburgh ahead of Halloween

Fans of the classic Halloween film Hocus Pocus have not one but two special screenings to choose from in Edinburgh this October.

The infamous trio of witches will be returning for screenings in the capital where the audience is encouraged to dress up in costume.

Released in 1993, it became a cult hit afterwards but is rarely back on the big screen.

The first event will be a family-friendly screening at the Filmhouse on Lothian Road, starting at 11am on Sunday, October 27.

Children and adults can dress up as their favourite characters.

The Filmhouse says: "Expect spells, songs and sorcery in this rare opportunity to see Hocus Pocus on the big screen."

The next will be an outdoor showing at the Three Sisters pub on the Cowgate. It's at 7pm on Monday, October 28 in the run-up to Halloween itself.

Costumes are encouraged at this adults-only event which will have themed cocktails including "Three Witches" and "Grim Reaper," along with popcorn and hot drinks.
