25 Hocus Pocus Products To Celebrate The 25th Anniversary!
Hocus Pocus hit 25 years old this year and we've been treated to a whole bunch of brand new merchandise as well as an anniversary edition of the film being released.
As Hocus Pocus definitely falls in my top ten all time favourite films and because you can never have enough of it, I thought it would be the perfect time to create the top 25 Hocus Pocus products to celebrate the 25th Anniversary!
To add a little extra to this, i'll also throw in some fun trivia throughout the list to make it even more Hocus Pocus filled!
25 - William Butcherson Pillow from October 31st
Ok so i'm starting the list with an original October 31st product.... which is completely bias of me to do so BUT it's been so popular I had to include it in the list and say thank you to everyone who has grabbed one so far! If you want to grab your own you can grab it right here.
24 - Coffin Framed Print
Created by bwanadevilart on Etsy, this print comes in a wooden coffin shaped frame and really does look awesome. The print alone is incredible and a definite must have. You can grab your own right here.
Fun fact: Hocus Pocus was original created as a story by writer David Kirschner. He would read the story to his children before bed.
23 - Oh look, another glorious morning enamel pin
The Foxy Hipster has created a sparkly pin that sums up how a lot of us feel about a nice morning... you can grab your very own right here.
22 - Hocus Pocus 25th Anniversary Blu Ray
The list definitely would not be complete without including the 25th Anniversary Blu ray. After 25 years Disney finally included deleted scenes! On top of this, the blu ray is the first ever blu-ray release for the UK. This particular edition from Zavvi also comes with a 40 page booklet which includes trivia, behind the scenes pictures and more!
A steelbook was also available through Zavvi and has since sold out. Across the pond, the states also received a steelbook that looks just like the Spell Book from the film, Walmart sell the blu-ray with a collectible pin and FYE have an edition with glow in the dark postcards! BUT I haven't included links as all three stores don't ship to the UK.
You can grab this blu ray right here.
21 - Sarah, Mary and Winifred Funko Pops
When these were first announced they were revealed to be exclusive to Spirit Halloween in the states. Sadly they don't ship worldwide so for us Halloweenies in the UK, the chance of grabbing them was slim. Luckily The Nerdy Byrd saved the day and had them available for pre-order too!
They have since sold out and demand has been extremely high but do sign up for alerts as if they have any over-stock or cancellations they will be available again. Sign up for alerts right here.
20 - Sanderson Bed and Breakfast wooden sign
I stumbled across this while searching for Hocus Pocus things on ebay and absolutely love it. This wooden sign would look great hanging up at Halloween, in your kitchen or basically anywhere! It comes unpainted so you can paint it in any colours you like, or just leave it as it is.
It's also a total bargain at £10.00 and free postage! Grab yours right here.
Fun fact: Although a Halloween film, it was originally released in July 1993 and didn't perform as well as Disney had hoped. Created on a budget of $28 million, the film ended up making just over $39 million in the end.
19 - Spell Book Pillow
BrassingtonHollow on Etsy has created a whole bunch of different book style pillows and what's even more incredible is they actually open up! This Spell Book pillow opens up to reveal the life potion spell inside. It looks amazing and is also super soft. Purchase your own pillow via Etsy!
18 - Billy's Gravestone and Winifreds Spell Book pins
These enamel pins features Winifreds spell book and Billy's gravestone and are only $10 each from Oddment and Tweak! They ship worldwide and after purchasing these myself can happily say they're even better in person! Grab them right here.
17 - Hocus Pocus Journal
After years of hoping and waiting, the UK Disney Store finally added Hocus Pocus merchandise to it's store! Although a lot of it has already sold out theres still a small amount of products still available, like this I/Eye Put A Spell On You journal! It's glittery, gold and perfect for all your spells. Pick one up right here.
16 - Hocus Pocus And The All New Sequel Booooook!
It might not be the live action sequel we were all hoping for.... but it's a start! *cackles*. A brand new sequel was released this year which features the return of the Sanderson Sisters but this time follows the story of Poppy, Max and Allison's Daughter!
This book also includes a retelling of the original story (not much has changed so for those worrying, it's still perfect) and would be a great book to read throughout October. Available via Amazon.
Fun fact: Sarah Jessica Parker absolutely loved flying on her broom, so much so that she would often spend hours at a time suspended on her broom while learning her lines.
15 - Hocus Pocus inspired print
Created by Devon Whitehead, this Hocus Pocus inspired print is available via his Etsy store and would look incredible framed. You might have seen this design before via Cavity Colors as it was originally sold as a shirt but has since retired. Purchase a print right here.
14 - Kitchen Witch Dolls as chosen by HOCUS POCUS COLLECTOR!
These adorable dolls have been chosen by @HocusPocusCollector on instagram!
"These kitchen witch dolls by @lunamoongothic are a favourite in my collection! They are handmade with love and perfectly represent the Sanderson Sisters based on their clothing but especially their facial expressions. Kitchen witches also provide good luck in the kitchen which there is never enough of, especially in fall baking season!"
Grab your own Sanderson coven right here.
13 - Hocus Pocus D23 Print
This print from Creature Features was originally created for D23's 20th Anniversary event and was limited to 300 pieces! Luckily a small amount of artist proof editions are still available and you can get your own right here. You might have seen this same print on t-shirts, bags etc. If you do, don't buy it folks as it's stolen from Creature Features, support the original team that helped get this amazing print made!
Fun fact: A scene cut from the film (but available on the 25th Anniversary Blu-ray) features Mary asking if the towns people can check to see if she left her cauldron on before she is hanged. When the Sanderson Sisters return from the dead she exclaims "I knew I left this cauldron on, didn't I tell you!"
12 - Salem Witches Pennant
This pennant is fantastic! Created by Two Ghouls Press, this Salem Witches pennant would look great on any wall, maybe even above your growing Hocus Pocus collection? You can grab this from Two Ghouls Press themselves or if you're in the UK you can also grab it from the October 31st store (a Billy pin is also available from both stores).
11 - Miniature Spell Book Sculpture
Isn't this incredible? This Spell Book sculpture has been sculpted by Etsy user Psychopomp85 and painted with acrylics. It was created to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the film and really does look fantastic. It's clear to see a lot of love for this film has gone into making it. Purchase your own right here.
10 - Hocus Pocus Poster
This re-printed poster from All Posters is perfect for any fan and can also be purchased framed! You can grab your own right here.
9 - Sanderson Sisters Horror Pops Keychain or Necklace
"The people of Salem capture and execute three witches for making ice cream" but I thought it was for sucking the lives out of little children...
Creepies have created two awesome Hocus Pocus inspired products. The first is this hilarious Sanderson Sister ice cream. Available as a keychain or necklace you can also grab another Billy design via their website. You should also check out the descriptions for both as it is hilarious! Check them out right here.
Fun fact: Bette Midler has stated that Winifred Sanderson is her all time favourite role she has ever played.
8 - Dani with Binx Custom Pop Figure
This custom Dani Pop figure also includes a smaller Binx Pop cat! She is made by PegacornCustoms on Etsy and luckily they also ship worldwide! You can grab your own Dani and Binx right here.
7 - Always With You Patch
This patch features Dani and Binx along with the words 'I Shall Always Be With You' around the side. It was created by Monika Foglia for Super Yaki, along with a Binx Pin that was also signed by Jason Marsden, the voice of Binx himself! How cool is that?!?!
You can grab the patch from Super Yaki right here. The Pin has sold out on Super Yaki but you can still grab it from Monika's store right here (the patch is also available if you wanted to grab both together).
6 - I Put A Spell On You Pin Set
Enamel Pins? Check, Sanderson Sisters? Check, Spell Book? Check, Black Flame Candle? Check, Glow in the Dark? Check totally awesome pins? CHECK! This pin set from Demonic Pinfestation pretty much has everything a Hocus Pocus fan needs, the flame of the black flame candle even glows in the dark! Grab the before they're gone right here.
5 - Mens Hocus Pocus T shirt
This seems to be the only official Men's shirt released by Disney this year (although anyone could wear it :). Featuring webs, cauldrons, ghosts, eyes and Binx himself, this shirt will definitely help you run amuck this halloween. You can grab this from Shop Disney USA right here and they ship worldwide!
Fun fact: Rosie O'Donnell was originally offered the role of Mary but turned it down as she didn't want to play a scary witch. Kathy Najimy also wanted the role as she was desperate to work with Bette Midler due to being such a big fan.

Fun Fact: Although featured in an original trailer a whole bunch of deleted scenes didn't make it to the 25th Anniversary Blu ray. These scenes include the Sanderson Sisters at the pool, in a supermarket and additional scenes with trick or treats. They are referenced but the actual scenes are not shown.
