Soundtrack of the Week: Hocus Pocus


Hocus Pocus came out in 1993, a live-action Disney movie about three witches from colonial Salem returned to life in modern New England. Max Denison, the new kid from California, must defeat the witches before they suck the youth from all the children in town, including his eight-year-old sister.


Hocus Pocus gets some play every Halloween, mostly on the Disney Channel, but the real gold lies in the soundtrack.

Composed by John Debney, this elusive score was only released promotionally. If you want to find one, the best you can do is eBay. Soundtrack.net values the soundtrack at $225. You can also listen to samples from the soundtrack on their website.

If you do mosey on over to take a listen, you might find the music familiar even if you've never seen the movie. The main titles for Hocus Pocus crop up almost once a year in trailers.

The list includes Nanny McPhee, and Night at the Museum. Though the soundtrack is hard to find, it is a great add to any fan of the genre.
