In a Nutshell

• • Hocus Pocus is a family-friendly Halloween movie that has become a cult classic.
• • Released by Disney, the merch collection gives fans a fun way to take new joy in the flick.

This merch will cast a spell on you. And it comes just in time for those summer-heat-weary folks (me) starting to crave cozy sweaters, carved pumpkins, and a little cool-weather autumn fun.

The branded merchandise in question is a new collection of promotional products from Disney celebrating the 25th anniversary of Hocus Pocus, a family-friendly Halloween flick. While the movie wasn't a box office hit when released in 1993, it has grown in stature over the years. Indeed, it's now widely watched during the fall in the lead-up to the annual Trick-or-Treat day.

To-do list for today:
Grab our spell book ?
Light the Black Flame Candle ?
Form a calming circle ?
Spend the whole day watching our favorite spooky classic?
Happy 25th anniversary, Hocus Pocus! ?? pic.twitter.com/64JDd5CxUw

Tapping into the movie's latter-day popularity and the current pop penchant for all things 90s', Disney released the Hocus Pocus collection, which includes a journal, spirit jersey for women, T-Shirts, pin set, coffee mug, faux leather bag and more. Here's a look at the merch!

Lastly, kudos of The Walt Disney Archives for preserving the below. The costumes are not part of the swag collection, of course, but they're a neat bit of pop culture history that just might put a smile on your face.
