October 31st 1963
Come little children
I’ll take thee away,
Into a land of enchantment.
Come little children
The times come to play here in my garden of shadows
Arises an eerily mellifluous voice emanating through the foggy village of Salem like a siren under the full moons glow, summoning sweet little Emily Binx as if entranced. Giggles and whispers permeate through the village as she skips heading towards the dark forest, her white nightgown flowing in the wind and her dirtied bare feet crunching fallen dead leaves and twigs as she nears the edge, oblivious of the calls of her name from her older brother Thackery Binx running behind her, begging her to stop.
Follow sweet children
I’ll show thee the way
Through all the pain and the sorrows
Weep not poor children
For life is this way
Murdering beauty and passions
As Thackery trudges through the rugged forest he comes across a dark lonely cottage with a water mill, rushing to hide on the side he can hear the sounds of cackling from three sisters. The Sanderson sisters to be exact. Peeking through a window he can see their figures crowded around a chair holding Emily. Staying hidden as they flutter around the room gathering ingredients for their potion, he overhears their plans of using Emily as a life source to make themselves younger and more beautiful. Determined to save his sister, he sneakily climbs the powerless mill and enters through a secret window accessing a slight platform that overlooks the whole room only then noticing a beautiful young teen tied to a chair with tears in her eyes, glaring at the witches from the corner. Mary Sanderson catching a faint whiff of a familiar scent begins slowly sniffing around the room, “sister I smell a child”. Winifred Sanderson the eldest of the three, turns to her with an incredulous expression grabbing her by the shoulders and points at Emily stating “what does thoust call that”. “Oh, right”. “Make yourself useful, unlike our bratty baby sister over there, and bring me a dead man’s toe and make it fresh” orders Winifred, “dead’s man toe *sniff* fresh haha”. Mary and Sarah begin goofing around and throwing dead man’s toes at each other accidentally throwing one at the eldest. “Will you two stop that! I need to concentrate” she exclaims as she whips back around to finish up the potion, completing it with part of each of the three sisters tongue. Scooping some into a big wooden ladle, she commands the sisters to hold Emily as she makes her drink a sip of the potion. The young teenager, Y/N Sanderson, immediately begins trying to undo the silencing spell her eldest sister put on her while silently screaming at them to leave the child alone and struggling against the cursed binds keeping her in place as she watches Emily begin to glow and her body turning almost transparent as that of a ghost. Delighted by the success of the potion, Winifred suggests that her sisters hold onto her so that they may share the life source together in celebration. As they begin to inhale, slowly sucking in the energy from Emily, Thackery jumps down and tries to attack the sisters bringing their attention to him. Winifred irritated at the interruption zaps him with cracks of lightning, using her magic to keep him in place as they finish sucking all of the energy from Emily making him watch. After transforming into younger, healthier, more beautiful versions of themselves as a result of the spell, Winifred decides to punish Thackery by cursing him to be a cat and live eternally with the guilt of failing to save his sister. “NOOOOO!” screams Y/N after undoing the silencing spell and binds, feeling helpless and horrified at not being able to help either of the Binx children. “Oh don’t worry sweet baby sister of mine, I didn’t forget about you. Since you wanna care for these mere mortals so badly I’ll give you the same fate. You will get to live the rest of your life with the guilt of not being able to save any of you, as well as betraying your sisters!” Winifred proclaims turning Y/N into a black cat before she could even get a word or sound out. At that moment the villagers led by the Binx parents show up banging on the door calling on the witches to surrender themselves. Y/N quickly exits out one of the windows and goes to hide, watching as the villagers break down the door and grab the sisters, forcing them down to the town hall to be hanged for their actions. Angered by their turn of fate, Winifred calls upon her book and with her last words vows
“Fools!
All of you!
My ungodly book speaks to you,
when all hallows eve and the moon is round
a virgin will summon us from under the ground
ahahahah ahahaha
we shall be back
and the lives of all the children shall be mine!”
Thackery after being ignored and kicked at by his father goes to find Y/N, together they decide to take turns watching over the house vowing to protect and prevent anyone else from having a similar fate to Emily.
October 31st 1993
Poor Thackery Binx not his mother nor his father nor anyone knows what became of him those 300 years ago and so The Sanderson sisters were hanged by the town folk. Now there are those who say that on Halloween night a black cat still guards the old Sanderson house warning off any who might make the witches come back to life haa! She whips around and throws a soft fabric at a student, Ahhhh! Loud laughter echoes off the classroom walls as the young teens witness their classmate get spooked from the teachers tricks. 
"Give me a break" scoffs Jake, "Uh huh. We seem to have a sceptic in our mists.. Mr.Sim  would you care to enlighten us with your California laid back, tie dyed point of view?" "Okay." Jake straightens in his seat to continue his thoughts. "Granted  that you guys here in Salem are all into these black cats and witches and stuff, Halloween was invented by the candy companies. It's a total conspiracy." He snarks. Boos and  come ons breakout among the class. "Actually, it just so happens that Halloween is based on the ancient feast called All Hallow's Eve” starts a blonde girl named Allison, "It's the one night of the year where the spirits of the dead can return to Earth." Yeahs and whoops get cheered from the enthusiastic crowd. Jake shakes his head while continuing to doodle in his notebook.  Exiting the building he walks straight to his bike and starts his 10 min ride home, passing Allison on his way, "Jake!" he stops as he hears a call of his name. Turning around he sees Allison walking up to him. "You just moved here huh?" she asks. "Yeah". "Must be a big change for you." "Yeah that's for sure" he replies sarcastically. "What, you don't like it here?" "Oh noo, the leaves are great! But... idk it's all this Halloween stuff” “You don't believe in it?" "What you mean like the Sanderson sisters?" Allison nods, "No way". "Even on Halloween" she asks, "especially not on Halloween". "Hmmm.. trick or treat?" She asks handing him a piece of paper and walking away, opening it up Jake sees it's a paper with her number on it. Shaking his head in disbelief, he continues his trek home cutting through the cemetery. As he approaches a set of headstones a tall blonde teen with hair to his shoulder and a black leather jacket and another heftier teen with a fedora pops up “halt who are you?” “Jake, I just moved here. “From where?” “Los Angeles” the two teens turn to each other confused not understanding what Jakes talking about “LA”. “OHH” says the blonde. “Dude tubular” says the heftier one. The blonde begins to introduce himself “I’m Jay, this is Ernie” as he points at the other teen he grabs Jay by the collar and claims “how many times I gotta tell you my name ain’t Ernie no more, it’s ice” Jay just nods his head and continues “This is ice” who at the new and approved introduction turns around showcasing an undercut with ice marked out on the back of his head. Jake just continues almost grimacing at them. “So” starts Jay “do you gotta butt?” “nah I don’t smoke”. “They must be very health conscious in LA” claims Ice, “you got any cash Hollywood?” “No”. “Gee! We don’t get any smokes from you, we don’t get any cash from you, what am I supposed to do with my afternoon?” “Idk, maybe you could learn to breathe through your nose” Jake says with disgust. “AHAHAHAH EHEM” Jay bursts out with laughter but tries to cover it with a cough after seeing Ice’s facial expression. Looking down at Jake he notices his trainers “whoa, check out the new cross trainers”, Ice now excited at hearing something he could use against Jake says “cool lemme try em on” Jake trying to turn and leave not wanting to deal with such nonsense gets stopped by Jay shaking his head with a smile “uh uh” together Jay and Ice grab him and steal his trainers. As he rides away, heading the rest of the way home, he can hear Jay yell out “later dude” followed by Ice’s snarky “see ya Hollywood”.
Jake glides into his driveway right after the town clock bells chime. Parking his bike and locking his kickstand, he jogs up the few steps to the front door barging in with the door slamming shut behind him stomping past his parents unpacking in the kitchen. “Hey Jaeyunie! Hey, how was school honey?” his mum asks. “It fucking sucked” he harshly replies heading towards the steps to go upstairs to his room, his father hearing his tone shouts after him “hey, hey, hey watch your language”. Jake just scoffs retorting back “ I can’t believe you made me move here!” and continues upstairs to his room. Once in front of his door decorated with a mini California license plate with his name engraved on it with a “JAKES ROOM STOP DO NOT ENTER” sign, he proceeds to bang his head 3 times on the door, his baseball cap slowly sliding up his head, bangs his fist one time and then slams his door shut behind him. Heading to his bed he begins to chuck off his hat, bag, and bomber jacket throwing them haphazardly around the room. Plopping onto the edge of his bed he opens the lid to his fish tank with a resigned “hey guys” as he drops in some food for them before sprawling out completely on the bed. Meanwhile in the kitchen as his father is testing out one of the kitchen appliances they’re unpacking, Jaeyun's mother realizes something was off “huh” “what honey” “he wasn’t wearing any trainers?” “Idk must be some form of protest, don’t worry yourself too much about it”. As Jake tries to relax a bit, he hears his closet doors slide open and a loud “BOO!” “NI-KIII” he exclaims. “I scared you, I scared you ha ha ha ha ha ha” Ni-ki giggles “mum and dad told you stay outta my room!” Jake says annoyed that his silence was disturbed. “Pshh don’t be such a crab Jakeyyy and guess what” “what” “you’re gonna take me trick or treating!!” Ni-ki exclaims excitedly. “No”. “Mum said you have to take me” “well she can take you” “can’t, her and dad are going to the party at town hall” “well you’re eight go by yourself” Jake says walking over to his drum set in the corner beginning to play them loudly. “No way! This is my first time I’ll get lost besides it’s a full moon tonight the weirdos are out tonight!” Seeing that Jake’s not interested and gonna keep trying to ignore him Ni-ki walks over wrapping his arms around his neck in a side hug “ come on yunieee can’t you forget about being a cool teenager just for one night pleaseeeee? Come on, we used to have sooooo much fun trick or treating together remember? It’ll be like the old days!” “The old days are dead” claims Jake grumpily. “It doesn’t matter what you say, you’re taking me” demands Ni-ki irritated now. “Wanna bet” Jake deadpans looking Ni-ki straight in the eyes. Throwing his drumsticks down, he gets up climbing some of the steps to his lookout and sits on one of them with his arms crossed looking out the window. Ni-ki annoyed and sick of trying to convince him the nice way screeches out “MUMMMMMMM”.
Jake knowing theres no getting around it now gets changed into jeans, a sweater, and a bomber jacket with a grey and black baseball cap throwing on some shades, hoping to hide his appearance even just a little bit. "Let's go the bewitching hour is about to begin!" sings out their father trying to rush everyone out the house. Heading down stairs Jake sees his parents dressed up for the town party while fussing over Ni-ki's outfit. Ni-Ki dressed as a warlock happily jumps at his dad pretending to cast a curse, while their dad feigns being petrified "Ahh nooo he's got me, HE'S GOT ME!" while their mum laughs. After everyone calms down a bit they decide to take a family pic, Jake begrudgingly joins for the photo knowing it'll be quicker to get it over with. "What are you even supposed to be?" asks their father "a rap singer" "oh, shouldn't your hat be sideways then" he says turning his hat. "Say Halloween" calls their mother with her camera ready "HALLOWEEN!!". Jake and Ni-ki leave to go trick or treating around their new neighbourhood while their parents head to the town hall party. For the next half hour Ni-ki and Jake go from house to house filling up Ni-ki's jack o lantern bucket with sweets and goodies. Sitting on the last step at the present house, Jake checks his watch and asks Ni-ki if he's ready to go home as he comes back down the steps to join him. "Oh lighten up Jake, we still have a bunch more houses. Lets go!".
Hearing a loud commotion, Jake looks up and realizes Jay and Ice are harassing the other trick or treaters and tries to grab Ni-ki to go another way to avoid them. Too excited at the prospect of more candy and not really caring about the older boys Ni-ki goes to walk past them. Jay and Ice immediately stop him "Ding Ding, Ding Ding" and tells him that he needs to pay a "toll fee" if he wants to get through. "Ten chocolate bars and no licorice" "yeah! dump out your sack!". "Drop dead, morons" Ni-ki says with a glare. " Yo twerp, how would you like to be hung off that telephone poll?" "Please" Ni-ki scoffs out, "I'd love to see you try, my brother would kick your asses" "Jake!" "ohhh if it isn't Hollywood, haha doing a little trick or treating are we?". "Im just taking my brother around." "Ohh thats nice, loveee the costume, but.. what are you supposed to be? A new kid on the block? Hahaha". " For your information, he's a rapper. Not that you morons would know anything about that". Jake just rolls his eyes and grabs Ni-ki's hand while trying to leave but Ice blocks his way. "Hey, no one leaves without paying the toll. So pay up". "Oh shut it zit-face" Ni-ki exclaims completely over this interaction. Ice getting mad at being insulted, turns to go after Ni-ki but Jake stops him and hands him a spare pillowcase filled with some candy "Ice, here. Pig out" he says pointedly. Grabbing Ni-ki's hand he speed walks away trying to get the both of them as far away as possible from them. "You should've punched them" exclaims Ni-ki annoyed, "I can't take on a whole group Ni-ki they'd kill me" "At least you'd die like a man!" "Hey! You just humiliated me in front of half the guys at school so collect your stupid candy and get outta my life!". Ni-ki hurt, betrayed, and shocked at Jakes outburst tears up and runs away trying to find a spot to cry without anyone seeing him. Jake immediately regretting what he said and feeling bad for letting his stress and frustration about everything that happened that day affect him, goes to follow Ni-ki to apologize. After walking past a few houses he stumbles upon Ni-ki sobbing and whimpering into a bail of hay. Jake slowly sits next to him and gently starts rubbing circles into his back trying to comfort him. "Ni-ki Im sorry" he sighs out sadly "it's just that I hate this place.. I miss all my friends... I wanna go home!" "Well this is your home now" sniffles out Ni-ki "so get used to it." "yeah" Jake resigns "give me one more chance?" "why should I?" exclaims Ni-ki "cause I'm your brother" Jake says with an exaggerated pout and pleading puppy eyes. Ni-ki turning to him starts giggling at how silly he looks. Gently pulling him into a hug and tickling him, both of them stand up and check out where they ended up. "Whoa" says Jake in awe "check out this house".
Ni-ki tilting his head up to look at the mansion like white house with big columns and grand staircases shrugs "eh rich people, they'll probably make us drink cider and bob for apples" he feigns exasperation. Both giggling and nodding as they look at the other start walking through the front door to see whats inside. In the entrance is a beautifully laid out 8 course meal with candles and ornate decorations, in the middle of the room is a giant ceramic bowl filled to the brim with full-sized candy bars. "Jackpot" they exclaim running towards it grabbing handfuls of treats. "Jake Sim" a feminine voice calls out, looking up at the staircase Jake sees his classmate Allison making her way down the steps. "I thought you weren't into Halloween" "Im not, just taking my little brother Ni-ki around. "Thats nice" "eh I always do it" "Well aren't you gonna introduce us" "Ni-ki this is my classmate Allison, Allison this is my brother Ni-ki". Allison analyzing Ni-ki's outfit "Ni-ki I love your costume! Im really into witches and warlocks", Ni-ki looking her up and down in disinterest already knowing that she's only talking to him to try and get at his brother blankly says "thanks". "Would you guys like any cider?" "No thanks" the boys respond in sync but Allison already left to grab a few cups. "So Ni-ki" she attempts to start a conversation again "what do you think about the Sanderson Sisters?" "The witches we're learning about in school?" "Yeah!" "Eh they're all right, Im more of a Merlin fan" "Oh thats too bad" Allison exclaims "I was gonna say I could show you their old house, my mum works for the museum with all of their stuff" she trails off hoping he'll take the bait. "It's here?" asks Jake. Happy that he seems to be showing some interest "Yeah! Im gonna change really quick and then I can take you guys to show you. Stay right there" and Allison runs up the stairs excited to have a chance to hangout with Jake while Ni-ki and Jake look at each other confused. Neither of them interested in seeing it but not wanting to be rude continue to wait for her.  About 10 mins later Allison comes back down in casual clothes and tells them to follow her.
Five minutes later after following her down the dirt road, they come across the dark gloomy cottage with the old water mill. Climbing up the steps Allisons states in an excited tone "Legend has it that there's bones of a hundred children in these walls" "oh great" states Ni-ki under his breath. Opening the door they are met with complete darkness and the scent of old books, wax, and various other unpleasant scents. Scrunching his nose Ni-ki asks if there's a light. "There should be a switch here somewhere we just have to find it" says Allison. While trying to find the switch Jake bumps into a table and feels the cool metal of a lighter under his hand, dusting it off on his pants he tries lighting it and luckily it works, with the help of the flame they're able to find the light switch. Flicking it on the dusty, cobweb filled house is bathed in light allowing the trio to see all of the witches books, ingredients, potions, etc. that fill up the house.  While investigating all of the knick knacks and magic related objects, the children fail to notice the two little shadows watching them from outside the window. "What are they doing in there Binx?" asks the smaller black cat guarding the Sanderson home "Im not sure Y/N but whatever it is can't be good." replies the other "I know... with it being Halloween we cant risk anything Binx... we need to get them to leave." Allison walks over to the case in the center containing a large book "this is the spell book of Winifred Sanderson, it was given to her by the devil himself, the book is bound in human skin and contains the recipes for her most powerful and evil spells" "I get the picture" states Ni-ki with an eye-roll. "Whats that?" asks Jake noticing a Candle in the corner of the room, "Thats the Black Flame Candle" walking over Jake dusts off the little plaque with information on the candle and reads it out loud "hmm Black Flame Candle.... made from the fat of a hanged man? Okayy then.. Legend says that on a full moon it will raise spirits of the dead when lit be a virgin *scoffs* on Halloween night.. what a bunch of hocus pocus" he states in disbelief walking back to Ni-Ki. Thinking that this would be the perfect opportunity to impress Jake, Allison walks up to the candle with another lighter she found and giggles saying "Lets light it and meet the old witches.. would you like to do the honours?" she asks Jake. "No thanks" he states uninterested, him and Ni-ki already heading towards the door to head home. "Come on let's start heading home it's late" states Ni-ki "oh come on don't be buzz kills, lets light it and see what happens" says Allison starting to move her hand to light the candle. "Fuck, now Binx!" harshly whispers Y/N urging Thackery to stop the blonde from lighting the candle. Binx quickly runs up a shelf and jumps onto Allisons shoulder trying to bite and scratch her to get her to stop. "Ahhhhh! Owww! Stupid cat!" she yells out after grabbing and throwing Binx off of her. "Okay Allison, you've had your fun and now its time to go" says Ni-ki "Yeah, let's go its late and this isn't funny anymore" agrees Jake. "Oh come on, you just said its a bunch of hocus pocus right Jake?" she states going to light the candle "seriously, thats enough let's go" states Ni-ki but it's too late as Allison lights the candle. The Flame turns black and whispers start to be heard "uh oh" states Allison realizing her mistake as every bulb starts to blow and the windows bang open and close with massive gusts of wind sweeping through the home. Just as they think everything has calmed down, all of the floor boards start aggressively shaking with a bright green light shining underneath. Jake screaming along with Ni-ki grabs him and holds onto him as close as possible trying his best to keep him from being thrown away by the floor boards, while Allison grips onto one of the tables as hard as she can. "What happened?" asks Allison "a virgin... lit the candle" states Ni-ki peeved as he puts his costume hat back on.  
Just then sudden crackles of fire started jumping from candle to candle, and fire-pit to fire-pit, lighting up the whole room. The giant cauldron in the middle of the room set itself on fire and began brewing a green bubbling liquid. Loud cackling could be heard as the old front door flew open revealing the three Sanderson sisters. The kids all scattered as quick as possible to hide in various spots throughout the cottage. "Ohh we're home, ohhh sweet revenge, do you see sisters! My plan worked perfectly." "Thats because tho' art perfect Winnie" states Mary "I knew I left this cauldron on didn't I tell you?" Sarah reaches up on her tiptoes trying to grab something from above the doorframe "My lucky rat tail, just where I left it!". Winifred getting distracted by the candle starts contemplating on whose responsible for bringing them back "Hmm but who lit the candle?" turning her head she spots her spell-book and perks up, running to it giddily. "Wake up, wake up sleepy head" she coos at it "oh I missed you, did you miss me? Wake up we have work to do." Mary hovers over her shoulder hesitating before she whispers "uh Winnie, I smell children". "Sick em" commands Winifred. The three sisters begin creeping around the cottage trying to find the source of the smell, "its a little boy... about seven... maybe eight.. and a half" claims Mary. "Ohhh I wanna play with him!" squeals Sarah. "Come little children, I’ll take thee away" she sings as Winnie goes to cover her mouth and Mary points at the case they're in front of "come out me dear we will not harm thee" coos Winifred "we love children" states Mary slamming her palm onto the case causing Ni-ki to shriek and shoot up from his hiding spot. "I thought tho' would never come sisters" states Ni-ki trying to act nonchalant "greetings little one" replies Winifred, "it was I who brought you back" "imagine.. such a pretty.. little child" they all giggle. "He's so well fed isn't he?" states Mary "shish-ka-baby hahaha" "tell me sweet dumpling, what is the year?" "1993" states Ni-ki as he gets dragged by the sisters towards a chair "Sisters" gasps Winifred "we have been gone 300 years" "well Winnie how time flies" "when you're dead!" cackle the two sisters. "Ha ha... Its been great fun but I better be going" states Ni-ki "oh stay for supper" "I-I-I'm I'm not hungry" "oh but we are" Ni-ki tries to get up from the chair and make a run for it but the sisters all grab him and force him back into the chair as he starts screaming. "Hey!" shouts Jake shooting up from his hiding place "let go of my little brother" he growls out. "Roast him Winnie.. no let me play with him" Winifred ignores her sisters and throws a green blast of electric energy at Jake throwing him back with a grunt. She then walks closer to him and using the same energy starts moving him around, sliding him into furniture then points at him and says "You. There." and throws him into the wall face first then turning him around and keeping him in place as all three sisters surround him. "Hahahah I haven't lost my touch sisters see" "JAKE" shouts Ni-ki trying to break free and run to his brother. "Hello.. goodbye" cackles Winifred as she uses the same energy to pick Jake up and start lifting him towards the ceiling. In that moment Binx and Y/N find their way back into the cottage. Seeing whats happening Y/N runs to attack Winifred and Sarah stopping them from hurting Jake while Binx runs to save Ni-ki.  "Ahhhhhh get this retched beast off of me, get it off!!" "Ahhh let go of me you little demon" shout the sisters. 
Taking their chance to escape the Sim brothers start running towards the door, Jake stops trying to think of a distraction to help them escape, tells Ni-ki to go and starts climbing towards the part of the roof with the emergency sprinkler system for fires. "HEY! You messed with the great and powerful Jake, you now must suffer the consequences, I summon the burning rain of death" as he lights the lighter "Gasp, he made fire with his hand" he puts it on the sprinkler causing it to go off " Ahhh Ahhh burning rain of death, burning rain of death! Hurry you idiots seek shelter" shouts Winifred as they all go running to hide from the "burning rain of death". Jake jumps down and attempts to leave slipping by the front door, Binx quickly jumps on his chest "nice going..Jake" he states sarcastically. Jakes eyes widen "you can talk" he states in shock "yeah no kidding, now get the spell-book" after seeing Jake not move he hisses at him and shouts "come on move it!". Jake then gets up and finds an old book stand and uses it to smash the glass and grab the spell-book. Quickly they all run away as the sisters continue to fret over getting burned.  "Confounded" Winifred puts her hands out and tastes the sprinkler water "Shut up! It is but water" the other sisters try it "most refreshing" states Mary "idiots, the boy has tricked us and stolen the book, after them!" commands Winifred. The sisters all run out in hopes of catching the children, once reaching the edge of the smooth black road they all freeze expecting it to be a black river "perhaps it is not too deep" inquires Sarah while leaning slightly forward to take a closer look. Mary and Winifred after a passing glance both push the youngest from behind as she screeches thinking that she's gonna sink only to be amazed that the surface is smooth and firm. "Why its a road, Sisters, after my book" demands the eldest. Together they walk side by side in a crouched position syncing their steps together while grunting "nghh" "nghh" "nghh" after each step. Right, left, right, left, right.... until they are alerted by the sirens and honking of a firetruck with the red flashing lights appearing in the distance. They screech out of fear and grab at each other as they run away. 
Meanwhile, the children with the guidance of Binx come to the entrance gates of the town cemetery "Woah woah woah, come on, this is a graveyard" exclaims Jake "its hallowed ground witches can't set foot here" assures Binx as Allison and Ni-ki stare at Jake in bewilderment "yeah he talks" shrugs Jake. "Follow me" calls Binx as he slips through the gate and starts running forward, the others realizing their only option of being safe and getting an explanation is by staying with him follow his lead. "Over here I want to show you something, give you an idea of exactly what we're dealing with" as he stops in front of a headstone engraved with the words "HERE LYES Y BODY OF M" WILLIAM BUTCHERSON DIED Y 1ST OF MAY 1693 LOST SOUL". "William Butcherson, lost soul" reads out Jake, "Billy Butcherson was Winifreds lover but she found him sporting with her sister Sarah so she poisoned him and sewed his mouth shut with a dull needle so he couldn't tell her secrets even in death. Winifred always was the jealous type" states Binx. "Your Thackery Binx" exclaims Allison "yes" "so the legends are true" "yes, now come along I want to show you something else" Binx states as he starts running in a different direction. Back at the old Sanderson house the sisters hide behind an old sign as the firefighters search the house and make their exit. "Teenagers again" "I hate Halloween" "this is the worst night of the year" the two firemen exclaim as they climb into their rig. "W-Who are they?" asks Mary "Boys" says Sarah excitedly "witch hunters, observe how they wear black robes and carry axes to chop the wood to burn us" "hold me" "this is a pretty spider". Winifred turns to her sisters as she smacks Mary and starts choking her "let me make one thing clear, the magic that brought us back is only good for tonight on all hallows eve when the sun comes up we are dust...fortunately the potion I brewed the night we were hung will keep us young forever... unfortunately the recipe for that potion is in my spell-book that those wretches have stolen! Therefore its terms to reason that sisters dear we must find the book, brew the potion, and suck the life out of all the children of Salem before sunrise. Otherwise its curtains, we evaporate, we cease to exist! Dost thou comprehend?" "You were splendid Winnie the way you started with a little adventure then explained.." "explained what?" questions Sarah "Come!" Winifred beckons annoyed "fly" as they all search the house for something to fly with. After finding their old brooms they all take flight beginning their search for the children and their spell-book.
"Because of me, my little sisters life was stolen." explains Binx to the children back at the cemetery. "For years.. I waited for my life to end so I could be reunited with my family but Winifreds curse of immortality kept me alive. Then one day... I figured out what to do with my eternal life, now I'd failed Emily but I wouldn't fail again so when Winifred and her sisters returned I made sure I'd be there to stop them. For three centuries I guarded their house on all hallows night, when I knew some airhead virgin might light that candle". Ni-ki immediately side eyes Allison murmuring "nice going air head". "Hey look, I'm sorry okay!" she yells slightly flustered and embarrassed. Standing up with the book, she goes to turn away from everyone while pacing "We're talking about three ancient hags versus the twentieth century here right, how bad can it be?" "Bad" states Binx "stay out of there!" he reprimands Allison as he sees her trying to open the spell-book "why?" she questions startled "because it holds Winifreds most dangerous spells. She must not get it." "Why don't we just torch this sucker" states Jake grabbing the spell-book from Allison and throwing it on the ground. Pulling out his lighter, he attempts to set it on fire however the flame, no matter how hard he tries, keeps straying from the book as if wind is blowing it "Its protected by magic" they hear a slightly deeper and more feminine voice state, turning around they all see another all black cat slightly smaller in size with beautiful (y/e/c) eyes. "I would hold onto that and hide if I were you" Y/N states turning to the bigger black cat she says "they're coming Thackery" before running off. "Eee hahah haha" comes Winifreds cackle, looking up the three kids and Binx see the Sanderson sisters hovering over them. "Ahahah ahah its just a bunch of hocus pocus" sings out the eldest, "Sarah" she murmurs as she points right, "Mary" she murmurs as she points left commanding them to help block the children to grab Ni-ki. "JAKE!" shrieks Ni-ki as he sees Sarah getting closer, all of them shooting up from there hiding spots and stumbling back as a group "brave little virgin who lit the candle, I'll be thy friend" comes Sarahs sultry voice "oh take a hike" states Jake swinging a branch at her swatting her "ouch" as she flies away. "Ohhh booooookkkkk" sing songs Winifred "come to mummyyy". As the book begins to shake and levitate, Binx jumps on top causing it to drop with his weight "afraid not" "Thackery Binx thou mangey feline, still alive?" taunts Winifred "and waiting for you" retorts Binx with a hiss trying to claw at her. The kids all rush to help Binx hold down the book. "ohh thou hast waited in vain... thou will fail to save thy friends just as thou failed to save thy sister" she snarks "rrreowwwrrr" hisses and snarls Binx as she tries to charge at him.
"What are you doing, grab the book" exclaims Jake picking it up as they all scream running away, dodging Mary, the kids stand on one side hidden between the trees while Binx stands on top of a rock. "They can't touch us right?" asks Jake with Ni-ki wrapped under his left arm and the book under his right arm "well.. they can't" replies Binx giving Jake and Ni-ki an unsettling feeling "I do not like the way you said that" huffs Ni-ki. "Unfaithful lover long since dead deep asleep in thy wormy bed, wiggle thy toes and open thine eyes, twist thy fingers toward the sky, life is sweet be not shy, on thy feet so sayeth I! WAhhahahah"cackles Winifred manically as the Butcherson grave begins to quake and a bony skeletal hand shoots up out of the dirt. "Jake JAKE" shouts Ni-ki as he tries to hold onto his brother while Allison grabs onto him on his other side. The rest of Billy Butcherson's body emerges from his grave with a groan shaking off all of the dirt from his hair and body, he turns to the kids as they all look at each other and scream running away. "Hi- Hello Billy" Sarah calls frantically waving almost falling off the broom. Billy looks up at her and gives a closed mouthed smile with an almost dreamy glint if he didn't have dead eyes. "Catch those children! Get up, get up!" demands the eldest while Billy glares at her "get out of that ditch, faster!" as he gets up and starts heading towards where the kids ran off. The kids come to a halt as they see a huge bolder with an opening at the bottom "quick in here" calls Binx running inside with Ni-ki and Allison following him. Seeing that Billy was catching up to them, Jake grabs onto a thick branch pulling it towards him and then letting it go once he was close enough knocking Billy's head off "Yes!" proceeding to follow after them. 
"Woahhhhh" they all yell out as they fall through the tunnel "oof", "ouch".  "Are you okay?"  "Yeah" "What is this place Binx?" asks Jake "it's the old Salem crypt" answers Binx "it connects to the sewer and up to the street". "Charming" replies Allison in disgust as Jake pulls out his lighter using it as a makeshift torch so they can see where they are going. Looking around the dark grey bricked tunnel, Jake could see cobwebs and skeletons of both humans and big rats hanging from the ceiling "Ughh don't look Ni-ki" "don't worry I won't" he replies slightly disturbed. "Relax I've hunted mice down here for years" calls out Binx "You say that as if it's supposed to comfort them Thackery" drawls out that same dulcet voice from earlier "the girl looks like she'll throw up in a minute" the youngest Sanderson states as she comes out of a hidden passage to stand next to him. "Hey..it's you..from the cemetery" exclaims Jake surprised "yeah.. who are you?" ask Ni-ki suspiciously "Y/N Sanderson, I would say its nice to meet you but given my family history I don't think you'll care. Did you get the book?" "yeah.. wait Sanderson? As in you're related to the three Sanderson sisters?" "Unfortunately. I've never agreed with their beliefs and methods. When they attempted to take Emily my sisters bound me to a chair and put a silencing spell on me to prevent me from meddling. When Thackery came to save her and they were distracted I was able to undo the spells but it was too late. As punishment for not following my eldest sisters demands she decided to curse me the same way she did Thackery." Y/N explains to them. "May I have the book please?" she gently asks Jake whose holding the book "uhh sure here" as he puts it down for her unsure. Opening the book she incants a spell to prevent it from lighting energy into the sky not wanting to alert her sisters "just in case, really don't want them showing up". Flipping through the pages she comes across the spell she's looking for to undo the curse and become human again. Silently casting the spell, a dull purple aura like glow begins to surround Y/N's cat form as her body begins to revert back to its natural state. They all watch as she stands at five foot three with beautiful long wavy (y/h/c) hair with soft curves, a well-defined bosom, and striking feline eyes.  "Wow" murmurs Jake under his breath completely enamored and awestruck at how beautiful she is. Allison witnessing Jake fawn over Y/N in a way he's never done for her, feeling jealous and wanting to bring his attention away from her, asks "so what are we doing now, whats the plan to fix this?".
Back at the cemetery the Sanderson trio fly around looking for Billy, seeing his headless body Winifred yells out "oh cheese and crackers he's lost his head.... damn that Thackery Binx damn him! Billy which way did they go? Ughhhh Billy listen to me, follow those children you maggot museum and get my book. Then come find us" she finishes her command just as Billy finds his head and screws it back on. "We'll be ready for them. Quit staring at me! Get moving down that hole. Damn damn double damn! Broom ho!" she orders flying away with her sisters to go back home and come up with a plan. Billy begrudgingly goes to follow the kids with a moaned grunt. "This way" calls Binx trying to guide everyone out of the tunnels with Ni-ki in front leading Jake and Y/N, with Allison right behind them. Jake slows down his steps to be inline with Y/N in hopes of striking up a conversation he asks "soooo, you were cursed by your older sisters and turned into a cat for eternity? That kinda sucks... does that mean now that you're human your mortal?" Y/N slightly intrigued by the really cute boy with longish hair falling into his face, pretty puppy eyes, and plump lips slightly smirks "it does suck a bit, luckily I had Thackery to keep me company which wasn't too bad" getting slightly closer to him she whispers with a mischievous glint in her eyes "but don't ever tell him I said that... I kinda like him being slightly scared of me". Jake snorts out a laugh as she giggles, he thinks its the prettiest sound he's ever heard not including her voice. "To answer your question no.. I'm still immortal, the spell I used to turn myself back reverted me to my original state aka a witch" "huh interesting" states Jake slightly amused. "So you can do magic then?" asks Ni-ki joining the conversation "yes among other things" "like what" "hmm like this little one" she says as she silently casts a spell summoning a cute little purplish white ghost puppy that runs around Ni-ki's leg, slightly jumping on him trying to get him to hold it and give it affection. "Woah! Cool!!" giggles Ni-ki as the phantom puppy licks his cheek. Jake watching their interaction with a slight smile turns to Y/N as she looks at him with a triumphant smirk and winks at him. Shaking his head in giddy awe at her silliness and how well she's doing with Ni-ki lightly bumps his shoulder with hers as they continue to follow Binx. Allison grudgingly follows behind them green with envy, feeling like she has steam coming out of her ears with how annoyed she is seeing Jake continue to give Y/N attention and even Ni-ki seeming to like her. 
The Sanderson sisters land at the entrance gates for the Old Burial Hill expecting to find the children "they're here, I know they're here. I know they're here but where are they? Sniff them out Mary!". Taking in a deep whiff, Mary stutters "they're...they're...ohh I can't they've gone too far. I've-I've lost them". Angered at her sisters lack of assistance Winifred grabs Mary by her ear dragging her towards the sidewalk "I'll have your guts for garters girl! Confound you!" throwing her to the side a bit she begins to ponder " hmmm very well... we must outwit them. When Billy the Butcher gets here with my book we shall be ready for them!" "Book? Ready" "Sarah! SARAH!" the eldest yells at her seeing her dangling and swaying on the gate like a child on a set of monkey bars "let us start collecting children" she states walking off as the two younger sisters follow her. As the walk Mary confused inquires "why?" "because you great buffoon" states the eldest halting her step and turning to her with a scowl on her face "we want to live forever not just until tomorrow. The more children's lives we snatch, the longer we shall live! Do you understand?" "Right! Let us fly" suggests Sarah excited. "Wait! Sisters" calls Mary after them "I have an idea. Since this promises to be a most dire and stressful evening... I suggest we form a calming circle." " I AM CALM!" shouts the eldest "oh sister, thou art not being honest with thyself, are we, huh? Huh? Come onnn... gimme a smile" she says pointing at the her whilst Sarah giggles in the back, together they form a circle and begin the process of "calming". "Come along now, not much further" calls Binx slightly ahead of the kids "let's see, which way, which way? I can't remember. Oh look, down here!" he says turning to a tunnel on the right and scurrying off as they follow. "Think soothing thoughts.. rabid bats, black death, Mummy's scorpion pie. Mother!" they sisters chant as they spin in a circle trying to calm down. "AHHHH" the yell hearing a loud horn blearing as a bus pulls up with the door creaking open "bubble, bubble, I'm in trouble" says the driver intrigued at the woman. "Tell me friend, what is this contraption?" asks Winifred "I call it a bus" "a bus" "a bus" "and it's purpose" "to convey gorgeous creatures such as yourselves to your most forbidden desires" he flirts. "Hahaha well fancy" replies Winifred flustered turning away and fiddling with her robe nervously "we desire children" "haha hey, that may take me a couple of tries but I don't think there'll be a problem" the conductor states not quite catching on to what she means. "Hop on up" he commands "marvelous! Thank you" they say as they all climb up the small steps and try to find a seat that will fit their brooms. "Mmm mmm mmmm I need one of those ice packs, you girls are giving me a fever! Yow!" he whistles as Sarah passes. 
"Go Binx", "come on guys this way" Billy hears as he starts following the kids voices in the tunnels getting closer. "Up the ladder" commands Binx trying to get the kids to rush, Jake going up the ladder first followed by Ni-ki, then Y/N, then Allison. "Hey buttercup, anyone ever tell you you're very easy on the eyes?" the bus driver ask as he lets Sarah sit on his lap and steer the bus. A few feet ahead Binx opens the sewer pipe cap hopping out into the middle of the road, Max with his head poking out and holding onto the cap seeing that the Bus isn't gonna stop shouts "Binx, look out!" but it's too late as the headlights shine on Binx and he freezes as max ducks back under. *Boom* *Crunch* "Whoa speed bump" shouts the driver not realizing what just happened. "Binx no!" yells Ni-ki panicked after hearing the slight collision, together they all climb out unfortunately seeing Binx squashed from getting run over by the wheel leaving a large indent on the middle of his body. "Nooo" cries Ni-ki turning into Y/N's embrace seeking comfort as tears stream down his face. "It's all my fault" Jake blames himself disheartened wiping at his face trying not to cry as his eyes get watery. "Hey, it's not your fault" Allison starts wanting to take this chance to comfort him in hopes it'll help her have a chance with him, just to get cut off  as he also seeks Y/N's embrace. "Jake, it's not your fault or yours Ni-ki, it's okay. Binx is immortal, give him a few seconds and it'll be okay I promise. Okay?" she says making both boys look at her as she wipes their tears and tries to give them a comforting smile to easy their pain and worries. Just as Ni-ki goes to ask if she's sure they hear cracking sounds as Binx starts to expand and his body reverts back to normal and he becomes conscious "ugh.. I hate it when that happens. What? I told you I can't die. Ni-ki are you alright?" "Yeah" Ni-ki replies feeling slightly better knowing Binx is okay. "Okay, then let's go" Binx says starting to lead the group somewhere else, they all follow with Jake and Ni-ki still sticking to Y/N's side while Allison stays behind with a scowl. Mary looking out the window and catching a faint whiff of what she thought were  kids abruptly stands up and shouts "STOPPPPP" as the driver and Sarah slam on the brakes causing the whole bus to jerk. "I smell children" she sings out in the eldest's ears "marvelous" as they all get up and start leaving the bus. The driver wanting a shot at being involved with Sarah grabs onto her wrist and stops her "hey cupcake, don't I get your phone number, your area code? You want my route schedule?" "Thou wouldst hate me in the morning" she replies trying to take her leave "No I wouldns't" "Oh believe me, thou wouldst" intervenes Winifred "party pooper" he blanches after them annoyed he's going home alone.. again.
Climbing out of the bus they walk into the chaos that is Halloween night. Children and families running around dressed in costumes, trying to fill their bags with as much candy as possible from trick-or-treating, homes decorated from the roof to the street with lights and ghosts and all things spooky. Winifred turning to her sisters asks "What is this sisters? Odds bodkins" as Mary begins sniffing and they children run by. "Farewell, mortal busboy" calls Sarah waving him goodbye. "What are those? What's that? Who's that?" ask Mary slightly perturbed "hobgoblins" answers the eldest as a little girl dressed in angel costume with wings does a curtsy and says "bless you" causing the younger sisters to scream in fear and disgust. "Enough!" reprimands the eldest, embarrassed at their behaviour. "Oh sisters" starts Mary while continuing to sniff around "I'm very confused, I-I-I I smell children but I don't see children... I-I've lost my power!" she cries out in despair beginning to sob. "Enough, enough, enough!" commands the eldest slapping her back and forth "we are witches, we are evil.. what would mother say if she could see us like this" she states all they all raise their brooms and bow their heads in her honour. "RRRRRAHHHH" growls out a man stepping onto the front of his house fully decked out in a Devil costume scaring some children as they run away. Seeing this the sisters all bawl "MASTERRRR" running up to him, "what kind of costumes are these" he asks watching as they all continuously bow to him, "it's the Sanderson sisters right?"  he guesses not knowing that they're real or that they think he's the actual Devil. "At your service" states Winifred elated that he remembers them, "haven't seen you for centuries, but what the heck, why don't you come in? Come into the non-smoking section"  he states chuckling as he invites them into his home. "Come on, come on right this way"  he beckons as they follow, "I can't believe it's him!" cheers Mary in disbelief, "don't step on my tail" he jokes as Winifred turns and growls at the children effectively scaring them off so its just the sisters and their "master". 
The children, after getting out of the sewer tunnels and continuing to run away as fast and as far as they could with Y/N and Binx following them stumble across what they assume is a officer on his motorcycle "officer officer" calls out Allison running towards him. "We need your help!" she states "what's the problem?" he asks. Turning to Jake, she immediately tries to grab him and pull him forward demanding "go ahead tell him" while Ni-ki rolls his eyes thinking she can't be serious... he's a cop not a witch expert or hunter. Jake grabs his arm back from her not wanting her touch him and steps back a step as he begrudgingly starts explaining what happened when he realizes she's not gonna let it go "Well you see.. the thing is I just moved here and we may have broke into the old Sanderson house and she" he states pointing at Allison "decided it would be a great idea to light the candle and brought the witches back from the dead" subconsciously Jake hides the book behind his back thinking it's not a good idea while effectively glaring at and shutting Allison down from opening her mouth to mention it. "You lit the Black Flame Candle" asks the "officer" looking directly at Allison as she tries to hide flustered that the attention is on her now "yeah..". Getting off his bike, he walks around the front beckoning them onto the sidewalk and standing right in front of Allison "and she's a virgin" throws out Ni-ki with a slight smirk feeling happy to get a jab at the blonde he clearly dislikes. The "officer" look at her trying to hold his laugh in "are you?" "yeah" "really?" "Yes! Oh my god yes I did it okay! I'll even get it tattooed on my forehead at this point jeez!" she slightly blows up with her cheeks puffed up and fire red from all the attention on her mistake. "This isn't a prank" she states annoyed "Hey! I put my life on the line to protect this community and you punks pull this?" he states while Allison stares at him in shock and boys look at her with indifference "get outta here and take that cat with you" he demands before turning his head and seeing Y/N "me-oww.. but her you can leave" he says taking on a sleazy tone as Y/N begins to scowl glaring at him. Jake immediately grabs her wrist pulling her behind him as he growls out at the dude "watch it" dragging her with him. "Come on" he softly beckons her and Ni-KI to start walking with Allison following behind envious that yet again someone else is interested in the young witch. As they walk away they miss the "officers" lady friend coming out of the shop asking him whats so funny, "just a bunch of kids pullin' my chain, they thought I was real cop" he tells her as they ride away laughing into the night. As they go to turn a corner, they pass the sewer pipe cap where the kids came out as Billy Butcherson closes it hiding but unfortunately getting his fingers run over and dismembered from his hand. 
"I want you to meet the little woman" states the "devil" walking away from the Sanderson sisters "he has a little woman?" "sounds tasty". In the other room the man walks up to a woman in a colourful robe, smoking a cigarette with curlers in hair watching TV  "petunia face?" "what" she demands. "Will you stop clicking?" he asks taking the remote from her "we have company". The woman pissed off at getting interrupted from trying to relax gets in his face as she snarls "I don't care who..I'm sick and tired of.." beginning to argue with him as the sisters gasp mumbling to themselves at the opening of the room "sisters, Satan has married Medusa see the snake in her hair?". "I don't wanna play in this, I don't wanna play" she continues before he grabs her by her cheeks and turns her head so she sees the disturbing trio "my three favorite witches" "aren't you broads a little old to be trick-or-treating" the woman snarks out with her cigarette and drink in hand. "We'll be younger in the morning" retorts Winifred cynically "yeah sure, me too... excuse me" states the woman getting up to leave and move upstairs, already over her husbands game tonight.  Meanwhile a group of children go to walk past the house and notice the sisters broomsticks they left outside, getting excited the steal them moving onto the next house.��"Forget the kids, I'm serving you from my cauldron" he states making his way around the room "Winnie! For you" "yes?" she replies taking the candy bar "master I thank thee... what about the book?" "We'll get to the book later". Next he moves onto Mary "Mary! Go long" as he throws a candy bar to her and she catches it cheering "yeah you could be a tight end!". Sarah then runs up to him taking off his cloak "master would thou dance with me?". While they begin to slow dance around the room Winnie enters the kitchen looking around and picking up random objects thinking she's in some kind of torture chamber. Mary walks toward the recliner and sits down picking up the remote beginning to flick through channels intrigued by this box that produces images and sounds. As the woman of the household begins to descend down the staircase she calls out "Honey, I've lost five pounds according to the bathroom .." immediately coming to a halt at the sight of her husband and Sarah dancing so intimately while Sarah keeps referring to him as "master". Infuriated she turns on all the lights yelling "that's it party is over! Get outta my house now!" starting to shoo them out "now now puddin" "shut it Satan" "oh" calls Sarah "though should not speak to master in such a manner" she teases shaking her head. "They call me master" "wait till you see what I'm gonna call you" she threatens "now tart-face take your Clark Bars and get the fuck outta my house!" she commands "Make us" goads Winnie. The woman looking her dead in her eyes calmly orders "Ralph. Sick em" as her small terrier dog immediately starts barking and growling as he chases them out of the house. Running away they notice their brooms are gone as Mary tries the bar the man handed her "uggh phew eww its candy. Why would the master give us candy?" she questions "because he is not our master" retorts Winnie "he isn't" "no.. and these are not hobgoblins" she remarks grabbing one of the children passing by and lifting their mask up to show their face. "Sisters, All Hallows Eve has become a night of frolic where children wear costumes and run amok!" "Amok, amok, amok, amok, amok, owww" Sarah chants jumping up and down before the eldest hits her in her stomach. "Oh Winnie, just one child" "nip" the eldest shushes her trying to think of a plan as time keeps passing by with no solution yet. 
On the other side of town the kids come to a stop in front of the Town Hall building as they hunch over trying to catch their breath. "Are you okay?" Jake asks Ni-ki and Y/N with their wrists still in his grasp and they both nod in reply. He lets go of Ni-ki's wrist and gently moves his hand to intertwine his fingers with Y/N instead as she lets him, feeling slightly warm tingles at his gentleness and care towards her and smiles up at him. Ni-ki watches from the side with a slight smirk feeling proud of his big brother for making a move on her, already feeling bonded to her. Allison on the opposite side green with envy, tries bringing the attention back to her again "what are we gonna do now?". "I think you should go home" Ni-ki mumbles annoyed she's still with them. She turns slightly and glares at him as he discreetly flicks her off and she gasps "you brat" she snarls wanting to lunge at him before Jakes voice cuts her off like a drench of cold water, "Go home Allison.. I think you've done enough and we'll fix it ourselves now that we have Binx and Y/n" he commands with a cold look. She scoffs embarrassed and annoyed at feeling like an outsider "are you serious right now? This whole time you guys have been blaming me for what happened and all of a sudden this witch and cat show up and gets your attention and now you're just throwing me away?". "Hey don't talk about her like that!" barks Ni-ki "we didn't even want to be involved with this in the first place but you were too busy being pathetic and vying for hyung's attention that you made up the whole trip and dragged us along to the Sanderson house and then, as if that wasn't annoying enough, you couldn't take no for an answer and decided to light the candle, despite both of us and Binx trying to stop you, and now you wanna play innocent? We should've dropped you a long time ago... at least Y/N noona is knowledgable and has tried to help!". "Ni-ki" calls Y/N softly, shaking her head gently as he turns to look at her and pulling him behind her, seeing how close Allison got to his face, "it's not worth fighting right now little one, we need to work together to solve the issue".  Allison scoffs "says you little miss perfect, I don't even know what he sees in you that could be better than me... do you even know who my family is?" she snarls getting in Y/N's face. Jake fed up with having to deal with Allison and her nonsense all night and the mess she caused, and also not favoring how she's speaking to Ni-ki and Y/N stands in front of them blocking Allison "enough" bites Jake sternly "go home Allison. I won't tell you again" pulling Y/N and Ni-ki after him as Binx follows. Y/N stops and growls out in her ear tone cold "do anything like that to Ni-ki again and I'll make sure its the last thing you do" with a pointed glare before letting the boys drag her away, leaving Allison to stand alone outside with a shiver going down her back. Allison huffs and begins her trek home cursing and whining about the group making people look at her like she's crazy. 
Inside the group are met with loud music, bright lights, and a gust of warm air from all the body heat in the room. Observing everyone dressed in costumes the Sim brother turn to each other asking if they see either of their parents. After confirming that they don't they split up, Y/N with Ni-ki and Jake with Binx, to hunt down their assigned parent. Running around, turning people around to see their face, asking questions took them a while with no luck for at least 10 minutes. "How are we supposed to find Mum and Dad in this place?" asks Ni-ki stopping in a corner with Y/N. Right as she opens her mouth to try and encourage him she gets bumped into from behind "oh sorry" calls out a kind elder voice. "Mum?" inquires Ni-ki looking straight at her in disbelief "what are you wearing?". "You can't tell? Im supposed to be Madonna..." "oh" "I think you look amazing Ms.Sim" "why thank you honey.. who is your friend Ni-ki?" "Y/N" sighs out Jake after finding Ni-ki and Y/N to tell them he couldn't find their father. "Have you seen Dad?" he asks his mother "it's not Dad.. its Dad-cula" he states with a mock Transylvanian accent resting his hands on Jake's shoulder trying to spook him before catching a glimpse of Y/N "oh my goodness... who must this charming young blood donor be?" he asks intrigued. "Y/N a friend of theirs it's nice to meet you" she replies sticking out her hand to shake as Mr.Sim gently grips her hand and places a kiss on top of it. Jake immediately puts her behind him "we need to talk" and then drags his parents aside. "Something bad has happened" he starts off "what? What is it? " "While Ni-ki and I were trick-or-treating a classmate of mine dragged us to the old Sanderson house and when we were trying to leave she kept messing around and lit the Black Flame Candle bringing back the three sisters from the dead and now they're after us so that they can use Ni-ki to stay immortal before the kill the rest of the children of Salem" he rants out letting out a big breath. His parent's thinking that the two of them are just playing games begin to quietly argue between each other not noticing as the Sanderson trio walk into the ballroom. "Cause there's no nicer witch than youuu" sings out the lead singer of the band painted as a skeleton man pointing directly at the eldest and winking at her while she keeps a scowl on her face. "I put a spell on you, and now you're mine" Winnie now intrigued and flattered puts her hand to her cheek whilst raising a brow and watching the man perform. "Enough is Enough" quietly demands Mr.Sim "don't you see how crazy this sounds?". "Pardon me sorry to interrupt.. but may I borrow Jake for a moment its kind of urgent" "of course darlin', it was a pleasure meeting you" he replies slipping back into character and gently guiding his wife away to dance. 
"They're here" Y/N states grabbing onto Jakes arm and looking him in the eye "what do you wanna do?" Jake looks around a bit before gently moving Y/N's hand and telling her to wait there with Ni-ki before rushing onto the stage. "No I ain't lying.... No no I ain't lyin-" "Hey cut the music" Jake cuts him off turning to face the confused crowd "I'm in the middle of a song" whines the singer "yeah well it can wait it's an emergency... Can everybody listen up? Your children are in danger" he begins to warn the onlookers "three hundred years ago the Sanderson sisters bewitched people and now they've returned from their grave" some of the people begin to laugh thinking its just a silly prank "Look I'm serious okay, it's not a joke! I know this sounds dumb but they're here tonight.. they're right over there" he points them at as a bright spotlight shines on them showcasing the three sisters trying to hide their faces and behind each other. "Thank you Jake, for that marvelous introduction" announces Winifred already hatching up a plan to ensure she has the best shot at no adults getting in her way. Continuing the song she starts "I put a spell on youuu and now you're mine... You can't stop the things I do, I ain't lying" singing she adds playful shakes of her head and dance moves getting into the act of fooling the crowd "it's been three hundred years right down to the day, now the witch is back and there's Hell to pay... I put a spell on you and now you're mine" she shouts with a flare of her cape making her way onto the stage with her sisters to perform. "Hellooo Salem, my name's Winifred. What's yours? I put a spell on you and now you're gone gone gone" the younger two harmonize with her, backing her up "my whammy fell on you and it was strong, your wretched little lives have all been cursed cause of all the witches working... im the worst" she trills smugly. As she continues to sing, Jake starts running back to the group as he realizes the adults will be of no help and aren't taking them seriously. Reaching them he sees Y/N and Ni-ki's slightly panicked faces as she grabs his arms and commands "we're leaving now" after having caught a glimpse of the Butcherson zombie boy, dragging him along with her as they head outside. As the sisters finish up their curse on the crowd and Billy gets caught up dancing with a woman dressed with a mask and an intricate victorian ball gown the kids stumble across the back of a restaurant trying to seek cover. Jake slightly frustrated at how the day is playing out kicks a near by bin "Fuck! Could this get any worse!" he yells irritated wiping his hands over his face and pushing his hair out of his face aggressively. "Hey hey" Y/N starts gently cooing at him, grabbing his face and turning it to her making him look at her "breathe Jake" "Jaeyun" he interrupts with a pout, for some reason wanting her to say his real name and comfort him "Jaeyun" she purrs sweetly "we're gonna figure it and everything's gonna be okay.. okay?" "okay" he sighs out resting his forehead on her shoulder as Ni-ki joins and leans into her torso as she comforts the boys... her boys. 
Hearing the back door of the restaurant bang open and somebody walking out, the trio and Binx hide behind a couple of crates "okay guys, who's goin for the Jacuzzi?" before grabbing one of the lobsters from the tank and heading back inside "Angelo..too bad". Standing up thinking the coast is clear Ni-ki begins to ask what the plan is before Binx calls out "uh oh, hide" after spotting the witches coming up the street. Jake pulls Y/N with him and hides behind a big blue dumpster bin, Ni-ki hides in an old oven, and Binx hides in a crate. "I smell...Winnie I smell" "yes? Yes?" "I smell scrod!" Mary exclaims giddily "Scrod, it's a bottom dweller. You cook it sometimes with lovely bread crumbs, a little bit of margarine or olive oil is good" she stammers not hearing a reaction from either sister. The eldest grabs her roughly by her cheeks and drags her away on the hunt for the children, beckoning Sarah to follow. Binx, slightly peeking out from his crate, keeps an eye on them and waits until the coast is clear before alerting the kids that they could get up. Emerging from their hiding spots Y/N, after seeing Ni-ki pop out of the oven, gets an idea as Jake guides them to the Jacob Bailey High School.  "What is this place?" asks Sarah mesmerized by the school building. "It reeks of children" retorts Mary "it must be a prison for children" explains Winifred as they begin walking into the building. "ARRHHWOOOOO!" playfully howls Jake "welcome to High School Hell" he begins talking into the microphone in the office as if hosting a podcast. "I'm your host Boris Karloff jr.... HAHAHAHAHA *evil cackle* it’s time to meet our three contestants Sarah, Mary, and Winifred Sanderson. Read any good spell books recently?” he goads, just as Binx cuts off the Sanderson sisters in the empty hallway barking and growling at them. "Hag tracks!" commands the eldest as the three sister get in formation side by side and do their infamous weird grunt walk chasing after him. "Hello, welcome to the library" calls out a female voice halting the sisters "bonjour, bienvenue a la bibliotheque", they turn down another hallway and begin following the voice. Sneakily moving against the wall they come across a boiler room, as they run in squealing and cheering thinking they've gotten a hold of the children Mary realizes there are voices coming out of a radio boombox positioned on one of the shelfs. While the trio are distracted by the box, they don't notice Y/N and Ni-ki closing the door to the room and turning the huge walk in ceramic oven on causing it to be engulfed with flames. Watching as the sisters burn, the kids turn and exit the school beginning to jump around and cheer now that the sisters are gone. 
As they jubilantly run down the street continuing to cheer and spin each other around, they stop by a park that'll help them cut across, making the walk shorter to the Sim residence. Binx climbs up a tree as Jake leans against the tall black metal bar fencing "we did it Binx!" he cheers "I've wanted to do that for three hundred years since they took Emily" sighs out Binx feeling accomplished but reminiscent. Jake hearing his tone retorts sympathetically "you really miss her don't you? You really can't keep blaming yourself for that man. That happened so long ago" "Take good care of Ni-ki, Jake. You'll never know how precious he is until you lose him" he replies hopping down from the tree and beginning his trek to the tunnels. "Hey Binx!" Jake calls after him causing him to stop and turn around "where do you think you're going? You're a Sim now buddy, one of us." "Come on Binx!" calls Ni-ki "let's go home" "home" sighs out Binx, feeling a sense of belonging he hasn't felt in three hundred years, following after Ni-ki as Jake rolls his eyes with a big smile on his face. Walking through the front door, Jake turns on the lights as Ni-ki calls out "Mum? Dad? We got a cat!" not hearing a response as they all head upstairs. Opening all of the doors to check, Jake replies "I guess they must still be partying" while everyone gathers in his room. Back at the Town Hall party where Winifred casted the curse upon the crowd to dance until they drop dead, the Sims unfortunately are caught up in the middle of the crowd with the spell manipulating them. In Jakes room Ni-ki curls up on his bed as Binx drinks some milk from a small ceramic dish. "You're my kitty now. You'll have milk and tuna fish everyday and you'll only hunt mice for fun" Ni-ki proclaims as Binx jumps up to join him on the bed. "You're gonna turn me into one of those fat, useless, contented house cats aren't you?" "you betcha" Ni-ki giggles almost mischievously looking over at Jake as him and Y/N cuddle up to each other on the stairs with a blanket, smiling back at him happy to see him and Binx so content after the chaotic and treacherous day they had. Eventually they all doze off into a deep slumber, exhausted from running around and fighting all day, completely unaware that the challenges are yet to be over. 
At the High School, the Sanderson sisters somehow having survived through the fire, break down the door stepping out. " Hello. I want my book" dead pans Winifred, repeating her statement in french, then continuing to pat herself to get off the ashes and dirt as her sisters cough and do the same behind her. "You wanna smash some pumpkins?" drawls out Jay "no"  "... you wanna look in windows and watch babes undress?" he tries again, listing off things him and Ice could do to pass time, as they sit on the steps of a dark house covered in toilet paper eating the candy they stole as "toll fees". "It's 3 in the morning... they're already undressed" Ice deadpans, "well then you think of something" Jay glares smacking his shoulder, "I don't feel so good" Ice retorts, "cause you're eating too much candy you oinker!" bites back Jay as they begin to argue and push each other.  In the middle of their bickering the Sanderson trio, after continuing their hunt for the children, go to pass them on the sidewalk until Mary almost breaks her neck coming to a halt after catching a whiff of Jake's trainers on Ice's feet and bends down as she starts smelling them. "Yo witch, get your face off my shoes" demands Ice in disgust "ooohh wrong boy Winnie, I'm sorry" she begins to whine and apologize to the eldest "why, why, why was I cursed with such idiot sisters" Winnie complains already planning on dragging Mary away while Ice and Jay watch in amusement, slight smirks on their faces. "Just lucky I guess" retorts Sarah distracted by a piece if toilet paper and swinging it around as Mary tries to hide her giggle. "Oh man, how come it's always the ugly chicks that stay out late"  sneers Jay nudging Ice and causing the sisters to abruptly halt in their step. Turning slowly towards the young teens, the eldest orders her sisters to grab them as they head back home deciding to use the boys instead of searching for Ni-ki. In their cabin, after stringing Jay and Ices who are locked in cages from their ceiling, the eldest rambles as she tries to recollect the recipe for the potion they need before the end of the night "we haven't much time left...we shall-we shall have to make the potion from memory" stresses Winnie. "Hey" cries out Jay, "let us out of here, we're sorry" he whines, "we think you're really cute". "HUSH" Winnie silences him, too busy feeling stressed over the lack of her spell book "remember, remember, remember... now I remember! I was here. The book was there. You, Mary, you were here. Sarah you were in the back dancing idiotically and the book said... I remember it like it was yesterday. Oil of boil and a dead mans nose". "Dead mans toes" chimes out Sarah correcting her but getting ignored, "no no his thumbs? Or was it his gums? A dead mans buns? Sounds like mums, funs, funs, chungs! Dead mans chungs!". "Chungs" whispers Jay scared "theres no such thing as chungs" corrects Mary "your right" whines Winnie "it's  no use, I don't remember the ingredients. I-I-I've got to have my book!" she cries out running away distressed with Mary following her and Sarah grabbing onto Jay's cage spinning him as he cries out that he's gonna puke. Opening the window the eldest begins to call out in a sing song voice "booooookkkk, come home or make thyself known" she sobs. 
Whilst the new mini family slumber with light snores and slow deep breaths, Allison having followed them from a distance after being sent home, tries the front door which is fortunately unlocked, and ascends the stairs trying to be as quiet as possible. Sneaking up to Jakes room, she gently opens the door and squeezes through starting her search for the spell book. Quietly she lifts random books, loose pages, articles of clothing, etc while checking over her shoulder every once in a while for any signs of the groups waking up she doesn't find anything. About to give up feeling like she wasted her time, she gets an idea that the young witch must've kept the book with herself and tip toes to where she's sleeping not noticing at first that the boy of her obsession is under Y/N. Getting close, she gently lifts the blanket begrudgingly noticing that Jake has the witch wrapped up tight in his arms with his face nuzzled in the crook of her neck. Irritated and trying to hold in a scream of anger, she catches a glimpse of the book near the witches head and grabs it quickly before covering them back. Despite feeling envious, Allison slowly starts inching towards the open door trying to leave in hopes she'll be able to read it and find something to get rid of the sisters and gain Jakes attention... if she's lucky then also get rid of the young witch so there's no competition. As she heads down the stairs opening the book and reading as she goes, the new lovebirds rouse from their slumber gently nudging each others noses as they look into each others eyes. "You okay?" mumbles Jake sleepily while gently pushing some of her hair behind her ear and gently holding her by the junction between her throat and jaw " 'm okay" she slurs a bit with her eyes closed and softly nudging her nose against his, still exhausted. "Just worried a bit.... I don't know why but I feel like we're missing something" "what do you mean?" he asks gently tilting her head up so she'll look at him again "it's just earlier... I heard Winifred mention something about 24 hours and it got me thinking. They're set on getting Ni-ki to use him for the spell right? However they only have until the end of All Hallows Eve aka tonight which explains why they were so adamant. What I don't get and is making me slightly nervous is... how exactly does the spell she used work and how it affects not only them but Thackery. I can't help but feel like we're missing something. I think he should've been released from his curse and able to cross over if we defeated them... but he's still here and I feel bad saying that knowing how attached Ni-ki is to him now but I'm a little worried Jaeyun" she looks away a bit. "Hey, we're not going anywhere and we're in this together okay? I'll help you however I can but don't stress yourself too much right now lets take it step by step my love" he soothes her "my love huh?" she quirks a brow at him with a knowing little smirk and a twinkle in her eyes, "sorry it um it kinda slipped out" he scratches his head abashedly looking away, "I love it, my love" she coos pulling him closer by the nape of his neck and kissing him softly. Breaking apart from their soft moment with little stars in their eyes, Y/N suggests they check the spell book so she can figure out more about the curse and how to help Thackery. Passing her hand by her head, her brows furrow together as she feels nothing turning to Jake and asking him if he moved the book. Confirming that he doesn't know what happened to the book and helping her search they both look up at each other with wide eyes as they hear the front door close tripping over each other and the blanket whilst trying to quietly run down the stairs as quick as possible without waking Ni-ki and Binx.
In their cabin Mary is still trying to comfort a disheveled and sobbing Winifred "Winnie do you want to hit me? Would that cheer you up? No..okay" she concedes lifting Winnie's legs up to rest as she grabs a round hand fan and begins to fan her. "This is the end... I feel it" Winnie cries solemnly "we are doomed. I feel the icy breath of death upon my neck. Mary? Take me to the window... I wish to say goodbye" "yes Winnie" Mary gently lifts her and helps her walk to the open window. "Goodbye...goodbye cruel world...goodbye to life....goodbye...goodbye...goodbye to all that" she mourns before looking up and catching a glimpse of a beam of light, with her eyes  widening in shock she begins to elbow Mary gaining her attention "Sister! Observe" she points her crooked finger directly at the beam "they opened it! HAHAHAH! Just when our time was running out, come! We must fly!". Gathering the youngest they all search the old cottage for anything that they may be able to use as a flying device. Winnie finds an old broom, Sarah an old mop, and Mary... an old vacuum? Together they take off heading towards the light. Unbeknownst to Allison who is still hovering on the sidewalk, when she opened the spell book it produced a blinding orangish light unseen to mortals that alerts the true owner aka Winifred Sanderson of the exact location of her book, inevitably leading them to the Sim household. Jake and Y/N after making it downstairs throw the front door open and run towards the sidewalk in hopes of catching whoever stole the book. Seeing Allison Y/N grabs Jake's arm stopping him from going any further "let me handle her this time Jaeyun" she softly demands as he nods and lets her take the lead. "I should've known you'd be the thief, you seem to have a knack for doing everything you're not supposed to" "what's the matter witch afraid I'll find a way to take Jake from you" "don't you think it's pathetic that you keep doing all of these dangerous and idiotic things in hopes of gaining his attention? Any spell you find in that book will be more of a curse than a blessing.. he'll never legitimately care for you" the young witch tries to reason with the young blonde. "Does it matter? He'll still be devoted to me and not you" "you know I've tried to be nice to you and figured you'd learn your lesson and take accountability like a big girl but you seriously need some help....don't worry my services are free" she drawls in a saccharine voice before casting a temporary spell on Allison turning her into a mouse. "I'd scurry along if I were you, Thackery loves a little late night snack" she taunts watching as Allison scurries away and picks up the now closed book before turning back to Jake who's trying to hold in his laughter. "What?" "That might be the funniest and sexiest thing I've ever seen anyone do" he giggles pulling her in by her waist "oh you liked my little show" she asks with a playful smirk and twinkle in her eye. "I like you being protective over me" he taunts raising a brow at her while biting at his lips to hide his cheshire cat smile as she scoffs and rolls her eyes "she'll be back to normal in 12 hrs if you want her to chase after you so badly" she taunts "too bad I only want one girl to want me" he grabs her throat looking into her eyes. "Okay Romeo, let's get back inside before Ni-ki thinks something happened" she guides him back inside trying to hide her smile and slight blush as he quietly laughs. Suddenly feeling a chill and uneasy Y/N falters with Jake wrapping himself around her as she shushes him "what? Whats wrong" he whispers "somethings wrong I can feel it... stay behind me" she warns starting to creep up the steps with Jake following close behind. 
Jake and the young witch having been caught up with Allison and getting the book back, were too distracted to notice when the three Sanderson sister's made it to the Sim residence and broke into Jakes room. The sister's made quick work of putting Binx in a sack and grabbing Ni-ki with a hand over his mouth to muffle his screams. Sarah hearing the door open and close downstairs hid under the covers planning on scaring the two teens as they left all the lights off minus the bedside lamp. As Jake and Y/N get to the top floor they check each room looking for anything peculiar before coming to Jake's door. Turning to look at each other they give a quick encouraging nod and silently count down from three before throwing open the door. Jake cuts in front of the young witch and goes to move the covers off the bed to check on Ni-ki when Sarah jumps up at them causing him to shriek and stumble back into Y/N as Sarah cackles. "Looking for these" taunts the eldest stepping out of the closet holding the sack with Binx and Mary holding Ni-ki "give me back my brother" demands Jake trying to run at them before Winifred zaps him sending him into his drum set and knocking him unconscious. Y/N quickly runs in front him with her right hand out ready to protect him while trying to keep the book tucked under her left arm "watch it" she warns. "Oh it's no matter you traitorous wench! We have the child and now all we need is the book... be a good girl for once and hand. it. over." "never" she hisses trying to fight off Sarah and Mary. Putting up a good fight she's able to knock both of them on their asses before the eldest zaps her as well forcing her to her knees, as Mary struggles but ultimately ends up ripping the book out of her arms. With everything back in their possession, the sister's head back to the window they snuck in through and take their leave with Sarah holding Ni-ki, Mary holding onto the book, and Winifred holding onto Binx. "Come Sister's, the candles magic is almost spent and dawn approaches" she reminds them before taking off, leaving the two teens a crumpled mess on the floor. Y/N after overcoming the pain bestowed upon her from the eldest hears a groan and fights to push herself up and throw all of the broken debris off of Jake and help him up. "Are you okay?" "Ughh I'm fine, are you? Where is Ni-ki?" Y/N's eyes get blurry as she feels like she failed and didn't fight hard enough. "I'm sorry I'm s-so sorry I tried to fight them off but she shocked me and then th-the-they  took him and I'm so sorry Jake it's all my fault" she sobs "hey hey shhh you tried okay? You did way better than me anyway I was literally unconscious... it's not your fault baby. It's not your fault" he soothes holding her in place forcing her to look him in the eyes "it's okay, we're gonna find him and get him back okay?" "okay" she whispers out brokenly as he helps the both of them up off the floor.
"Use thy voice Sarah!" bellows Winifred as they fly over lakes heading back to their cabin "fill the sky. Bring the little brats to die. EEEHAHAHAH HAA!". Sarah with the encouragement of her sister and having wanted to play all day begins singing, her eerily mellifluous voice resonating through the city below. "Come little children I'll take thee away, into a land of enchantment" her body begins slithering up, arms stretching towards the sky as if feeling the energy flowing through her body like static "come little children, the time's come to play. Here in my garden of Ma-agic". The streets of Salem begin to fill as every child and teen under 18 put in a subconscious trance, sleep-walk out of their homes and begin their trek to the old Sanderson cottage. Hearing the singing and humming Jake and Y/N run up the steps to the lookout tower and see the herd of children roaming the streets allured by the voice. "Hey! HEY! You guys don't listen to her! Hey, up here!" Jake shouts trying to grab their attention "They won't hear us Jake, they're entranced. Let's focus on getting Ni-ki home and how to get rid of them". "Okay, how do we do that then?" he inquires "Well we know they'll take Ni-ki back to the cottage because that's where she's the most prepared so that's not an issue" she states pacing back and forth trying to critically think about the entire situation. "Yeah, but then we still have to figure out how to get rid of them or they'll just keep following us and we'll be repeating the same cycle over and over again" Jake adds matter-of-factly. "I know" starts Y/N fiddling with her necklace before coming to a stop in front of him as a lightbulb goes off "Wait! Winifred said earlier while you were unconscious that the candles magic will soon be spent..and emphasized that dawn approaches. The Black Flame Candle! It must've only brought them back for the night of All Hallows eve meaning... that unless they can recreate the spell and collect the lives of the children of Salem.... then when the sun comes up they'll perish! That's why she was so set on getting everything done so quickly and why the boiler room didn't work. They had the power of the candle protecting them but once it runs out they're dust!" she concludes eyes slightly widening as Jake grabs her by her throat smashing his mouth onto hers in a deep sensual kiss stealing her breath away before slightly separating keeping his nose touching hers "God I fucking love how sexy that big nerdy brain of yours is" he moans out before pressing one more fiery kiss on her lips "let's go get Ni-ki" Y/N mumbles feeling slightly giddy and flustered while trying to push him away before he loses focus "right... one more kiss?" "No. Come on Jaeyun" "Oh come on" he whines out pouting behind her. Stopping in his door frame, she turns to him pulling him in by his shirt "the faster we save Ni-ki and get rid of those broads the faster we can come back... if you're a good boy we can do more than kissing" she coos and flutters her eyelashes at him as he immediately nods and races out the house "what are you waiting for slow poke, move it!"  he rushes as she shakes her head with a slight smirk following quickly behind him.
"The children are coming" coos Sarah "excellent! Well done sister Sarah" praises Winifred as she continues preparing the potion now that she has her spell book back. Ni-ki is tied up in a chair with rope struggling to break lose while Binx fights to get out of the burlap sack they have him in hung by the fireplace "Let me out of here!".  Jake after nabbing his parents keys for the family SUV begins trying to carefully but quickly drive through the crowd of zombie-like children "Come on. Move it!" he honks and yells out at them trying make a clear path. "I'm gonna ralph" "no more candy please!" whine out Jay and Ice as the sisters try to fatten them up even more "soon the lives of all thy little friends will be mine" snarks Winifred making her way towards her book "and I shall be young and beautiful again forever". "It doesn't matter how young or old you are" remarks Ni-ki "you sold your soul to the Devil! You're the ugliest thing that's ever lived and you know it" demeans Ni-ki. "You. Die. First"  hisses Winifred infuriated that some little twerp has insulted her before turning back to the potion and spitting into it causing it to foam up and flash a bright green colour. Jake and Y/N begin to pull up to the cottage trying to be as silent as possible, while Y/N thinks of a quick plan to get Ni-Ki and Thackery out so they can head back to the cemetery. The young witch stays outside as she puts tinted films over the headlights to mimic the sun as Jake goes to retrieve Ni-ki and Binx. "Tis ready, pry open his mouth" "gladly" Mary states as Winnie scoops out a bit of the potion as they all try to force Ni-ki to open his mouth and drink it. "Don't do it Ni-ki, don't drink it!" calls Binx still trying to break out. Ni-ki bites Mary and stomps on Sarahs foot as Winnie comes closer and tries to put the giant wooden spoon near her mouth, at that moment Jake bursts through the door "prepare to die! Again." he states coldly "You. You have no powers here you fool!" Winnie snarls. "Hollywood!" cries out Jay thinking he's gonna be saved "maybe not" Jake continues ignoring Jay "but there's a power greater than your magic and that's knowledge" "come on man" jay whines "and there's one thing that I know that you don't" "and what is that, dudeee?" asks Winnie sarcastically as Sarah bursts out in a wheezy cackle. "Daylight savings time" says Jake cockily as Y/N turns on the headlights making it shine a pinkish red with the tint, fooling the sister's into thinking the sun is coming up as they all start screaming and dramatically "melting" complaining about how much it "hurts". Jake immediately runs over to Ni-ki untying him before running to grab Binx "Hot. Hot. Hot cat. HOT CAT!" bellows out Binx in slight pain as they untie him "hold on Binx" placates Ni-ki as they all run towards the door. "Hey Hollywood, help us out of here?" tries to beg Ice and Jay but Jake ignores them and takes back his shoes off of Ice's feet "tubular" he mocks running out. "Hurry up Ni-ki we gotta go!" he tries to pull Ni-ki to the SUV "wait. I wanna see her turn to dust." demands Ni-ki before hearing Y/N whistle out to them and pointing out the clever little trick they pulled with the tint and headlines "on second thought.. pump it!" he rushes out as they all pack into the vehicle and speed off.
"Noona!" exclaims Ni-ki reaching over to hug her just happy to be away from the witches. A couple moments later after not feeling anything as the lay in a huddle on the floor "damn that boy! He tricked us again"  bellows Winifred vexed. "Oh you're right, you're always right"  claims Mary "Its my curse.... that and you two. Get off me you thundering oafs!"  they immediately shoot up from their spot scared of the eldest's wrath. "Look the candles almost out. My potion... my beautiful potion.. look there's just enough left"  she states annoyed "for one child, get the vile!". The mass of children are getting closer to the cabin as Jake tries to drive through them "oh come on, seriously move it!" as he honks and swerves, getting closer to the cemetery. "Oh joy just enough... this is perfect for that little toe-headed brat" "but we have a child. Actually two children" states Sarah pointing at Ice and Jay "and look Winnie, more children are arriving" Mary calls opening the windowing showing the yard now occupied with children. "Winnie, we'll make more potion because we have the book!" cheers Sarah "we haven't the time" reprimands Winnie "besides I want to get that little rat-faced kid that called me..." "oh don't say it, don't even say it" "ugly?" and Winnie starts crying "oh honey, I know"  tries to comfort Mary. "he really hurt my feelings" "he's just jealous" "he doesn't even know me" "I know"  Mary placates her. "You know, I've always wanted a child and now I think I'll have one..on toast!"  Winnie screeches before storming outside to take flight with her sisters. "Step on it hyung!" commands Ni-ki "are they following us?" asks Jake as Y/N turns to check through the back window "no" "good"  he lets out a relieved breath picking up the pace on the now deserted road. The sisters catch up to the kids as Winifred lowers herself to be in line with the drivers window "pull over. Let me see your driver's permit?" she cackles choking Jake and trying to pull him out of the car, as Y/N fights her off and Ni-Ki tries to help hold the steering wheel in place so they don't fly off the road. Jake throws her into a bush right as he brakes in front of the cemetery whipping the vehicle into park. Rushing to get inside where the Sanderson trio can't touch them "Hurry, Hurry! Come on, let's get a move on" beckons Binx running to the center, as Jake closes the gate and tries catching up with the group but runs straight into Billy Butcherson's body falling over. Y/N and Ni-ki hearing a thump and Jakes grunt stop and turn around to check on him before Ni-ki freaks out seeing the butcherson boy hovered over his hyung trying to run to him as Binx and Y/N stop him " No Ni-ki, wait". Jake pulls out a switch blade from his pocket and rushes to stand up threatening Billy with the Blade "run, Niki, run" as they trio take off and Jake keeps the zombie distracted. "Billy! Billy listen to me, kill him if you must. Just bring me that child Ni-ki" commands Winifred as she hovers near the gates "and put some wiggle in it, you putrid festering sore!". Billy holding Jake in a headlock grabs his blade and uses it to cut open his sewn mouth coughing up dirt, cloth, and worms "kill him, do it now!" "wench"  spits out Billy for the first time shocking himself and Jake. "Trollop" he starts feeling excited he can finally tell her off and say everything he's been holding in "you buck-toothed, mop-riding, firefly from hell... I've waited centuries to say that" he turns his head to murmur to Jake. Trying to prevent a gag from the smell and twisting his face away "ughh say what you want man, just don't breathe on me please" he begs in disgust. "Billy! I killed you once.. I shall kill you again you maggoty malfeasance" she chides as he waves her off, giving her his back as he leads Jake to the rest of the group.
As they join the group, Ni-ki runs into Jake holding onto him "I'm so glad you're okay" "I'm stronger than you think lil man" "whatever" he laughs pushing him away. "Come on. We'll have to hold them out until Dawn" reminds Binx as they try to hatch a plan to save Ni-ki "it's our only hope". "Hi Billy!" greets Ni-ki kinda excited to speak to a real zombie as he turns to smile at the kid thinking he's cute "you'll be safe in here" he gently guides Ni-ki to his grave as Y/N begins a spell to make a protective barrier. "You okay ki?" "Yeah, feels a little weird standing in a grave while I'm alive... but I'm not one to complain" he giggles causing the others to laugh and watch him with a fond smile.  Jake practices some boxing moves as the young witch finishes her spell just in the nick of time "here they come!" alerts Thackery "Billy, guard Ni-ki. Y/N and Jake spread out" as everyone rushes to their station. "For the last time, prepare to meet thy doom" threatens Winnie as she lowers herself as close to the ground as possible "you little pest. I've had enough of you!" she begins chasing him before he trips over a branch narrowly avoiding her grasp. Y/N using some holy water she has saved in a little vile splashes it at Sarah burning her as she tries to get her, effectively warding her off while Billy tells Winifred to fuck off after she strikes a tree in hopes of it incapacitating him. Seeing how that didn't work she instead swoops down and kicks Billy's head off temporarily immobilizing him as he tries to search for it, Ni-ki not fully thinking about it leaves the safety barrier Y/N created for him and runs to give him back his head "here Billy, I think you need this". Noticing the opening she's gotten, Winifred quickly snatches Ni-ki off the ground trying to fly away with him as he screams for his hyung to help him. "NI-KI NOOOO" he screams as they all rush to try and go after him "bye-bye big brother" taunts the wicked witch as they all come to a stop in the middle of the field, the witch still hovering on her broom with Ni-ki in her lap. "All right you little trollimog" she sneers pulling out a bottle with the leftover potion "this'll teach you to call people ugly" she spits out after taking the cork off with her bucked-teeth "open your mouth!" she demands fighting with the child, as Binx runs up a tree and jumps at her trying to claw at her face getting her to drop the potion. Fed up with the demon cat she throws him down onto a hard stone knocking him unconscious.  "Give me that vial!" she demands seeing Jake catch it "Put him down or I'll smash it" argues Jake "smash it and he dies!" retorts the witch. Having a quick debate mentally Jake tilts his head back and downs the potion as if taking a bitter medicine "hyung no!" screams out Ni-ki terrified "now you have no choice" growls out Jake with his raspy voice "you have to take me". Enraged but knowing she has no choice with dawn approaching soon she begrudgingly lowers Ni-ki to the ground "what a fool to give up thy life for thy sister's" she sneers with a twisted scowl before grabbing him and ascending up "NOOO JAKE!" cries out Ni-ki as Billy and Y/N hold onto him. Jake tries choking her and fighting her as to prevent her from sucking his life source out of him. Calling for help, her sisters all rush to assist but the group grab onto the cord of Mary's vacuum creating tension as Sarah grabs onto her hand trying to get her. Seeing the sun starting to peek through Y/N shouts "now" as they all let go sending the two witches flying.
Distracted by her sister's screams as they fly over her, Jake uses this opportunity to throw her off her broom, as they both fall onto the ground. Forcing her self off the floor, she grabs onto Jake hoisting him above her head sucking at his life source again, before feeling a sizzling heat working up her feet and to her legs. Turning her head doing a triple take with Jake after seeing the sun she desperately calls for her book, getting cut off as she turns to stone and Jake rips himself off landing crumpled on the floor. All three sisters one by one fulminate giving off burst of pinks and greens, and poor Thackery hidden away in a corner slightly forgotten, opens his eyes watching them disintegrate and lets out one last pitiful meow as he lays still. With them gone and the spell wearing off, Jake begins to gain consciousness with a slight groan. "JAKE!!" Ni-ki calls running to help him up "are you okay?" he asks worried "yeah.. I think so" "you saved my life.." he starts getting teary eyed "I thought I was gonna lose you" he sobs as Jake engulfs him in a bear hug. "I'm your big brother of course I did and didn't I tell you I'm stronger than you think lil man" he scoffs out with a playful eye-roll causing Ni-ki to giggle just happy his brothers okay "I love you jerk-face" "I love you too". Getting up they join Y/N giving her hugs before turning to Billy as he starts lowering himself into his grave "bye Billy, have a nice sleep" encourages Ni-ki "hey Billy" calls Jake drawing his attention as he looks up "thanks" he says wholeheartedly meaning it. After the Butcherson boy yawns and falls back asleep in his grave Ni-ki begins looking around "hey... where's Binx?" as they start searching for him. "Binx? Binx? NO BINX" Ni-ki cries out seeing Binx unmoving on the floor running to pick him up as Y/N and Jake sadly watch knowing how attached they got to each other. "He can't die remember? Binx, BInx wake up.. wake up!" he screeches as Y/N pulls him close trying to comfort him "Ni-ki? Come on, please don't be sad for me" calls out Thackery in the distance. Looking up they all see the ghost or spirit of Thackery Binx "Binx is that you?" Ni-ki sniffles out "yeah.. I look a little different as a human again huh" he tries to joke and comfort Ni-ki "the witches are dead and my soul's finally free. You freed me Ni-ki... thank you. Hey, Jake? Thanks for letting that crazy girl light the candle" they all laugh to themselves. They all watch with teary eyes as a beautiful little girl, beautiful little Emily, steps out of the woods calling for Thackery and asking him what took him so long to find her  "I'm sorry Emily, I had to wait 300 years for some virgin to light a candle" he tries to explain as the walk through the gates. "Let's go home boys" beckons Y/N pulling them close as they head home, one boy on each arm as she gives both of them a peck on the check. Back at the town hall the spell the witches put on the party finally wore off with all of the parents trudging out sluggishly, drenched in sweat "man and I thought the parties in LA were insane" Mr.Sim tells Mrs.Sim. Jay and Ice are still trapped in the cages and have started sing "Row,Row,Row your boat" to entertain themselves until hopefully someone finds them. Allison's spell wore off as she was returned to her original form fortunately with no memory of what happened curtesy of a crafty little witch. Speaking of the pretty little witch, the Sim family adore her and are already counting on wedding bells and grandkids in a few years and Jake feels ecstatic that she's attending school with him and getting to spend as much time as possible with his girl. Somehow she was able to get the house next door to them but the boys prefer not to ask as some secrets are more fun.

Name: Max Dennison Age: 27 Height: 5′10 Pronouns: He/Him Sexuality: Heterosexual Occupation: Part time U.S. History teacher and Drumming instructor/Full time dad Zodiac: Taurus sun, Gemini moon, Aries rising Faceclaim: Alex Fitzalan
Description
Although Max was not thrilled to move to Destiny Isle as a teenager, it eventually became a place he grew to love as he settled in and created a family of his own here. He and his sister moved to the isle one Halloween and he wasn’t all that thrilled about the magical aspects they’d heard about — to him, it was just a bunch of hocus pocus. He was proven wrong to be a skeptic though when the virgin lit the black flame candle and brought back the Sanderson Sisters, a trio of witches who had wreaked havoc in the area hundreds of years ago. With the help of the girl of his dreams and a cursed talking black cat, he and Dani survived the ordeal and even somewhat lifted Thackery Binx’s curse, and Max is forever grateful that the traumatic experience brought him closer to his future wife Allison.
He’d never met someone like her and he was head over heels from day one. His disinterest in the isle faded rather quickly and it didn’t take long for the two to become official. It may have seemed cheesy but they became high school sweethearts, and the two continued building a life together after high school. They waited to eventually get married until after finishing their bachelor degrees, Max going to school for teaching history and Allison choosing law school, and it was once Allison finished law school two years later that they had their daughter, Poppy. With Allison so career focused and having worked so hard on her law degree, Max was okay with stepping down to part time teaching in order to spend more time raising their daughter. He hardly believes sometimes how much his life has changed since moving here as the annoyed and grumpy teen that was new to the isle, but he is grateful for the way that things have turned out.
Headcanons
Drumming is still one of Max’s passions to this day but he hasn’t had as much time to do so after becoming a father. Thankfully he still has time here and there to give drumming lessons occasionally when Dani or Binx are able to step in and babysit.
He can still be somewhat of a skeptic when it comes to magic but he’s definitely much better about it than he was back then. He was the one who warned binx to be careful when binx approached him for advice about dating a witch, but he’s glad that it turned out to be a positive experience for him in the end 
Still very protective of Dani even though she’s grown up now but also still thinks she can be annoying as hell too
Yes he did lose his virginity to Allison 
He loves being a dad. A part of him wants him and Allison to have another kid (he wants to try for a boy next) but he knows that’s a big ask with how much Allison works. He’s content either way on whether they only have Poppy or if they try for another child

Third Person POV
‘It’s all just a bunch of Hocus Pocus.’
Salem, Massachusetts has always been known for its witchcraft allegations as well as for how they handled each case, calling them the Salem Witch Trials. Three centuries ago, hundreds of people were accused, but only a mere thirty were found guilty. Nineteen were hanged due to the false accusations placed upon them, while others died in jail or were pressed to death.  
Thackery Binx found his sister being whisked away by three actual witches, The Sanderson sisters, who needed her for a spell to stay young and beautiful. The same night his sister had passed away, and his disappearance, the three witches were hanged for their witchcraft, but vowed they’d be back. 
Now every Halloween, the entire town goes all out for the festivities. Casey Blackstone has lived in Salem all her life and loves the holiday. It’s the one time of year she can eat as much candy as she wants and no one will bat an eye, well except for her dentist father. She also loves wearing costumes, being someone else besides herself for a night.
Since her family, as well as her friend Allison’s, thinks they are too old to be trick or treating, they are forced to give out candy this year while Allison’s family has a party. Her parents wanted to go to the party at Town Hall but they got sick so they’re staying home. Her costume is already at the Watt’s house, waiting to be put on later that night. 
Sighing to herself as she fixes her hair in the mirror, Casey turns to her black cat that is sitting on her bed watching her.
Tumblr media
Due to the holiday and the history they are taught every year, she felt there was only one name fitting for a black cat such as the one she found almost eleven years ago.
“What do you think of today’s outfit, Binx?” She throws her hands out, showing off her purple low-cut shirt as well as her slightly ripped jeans.
Binx meows his response before stepping toward her to rub his face against her hip, causing his collar to clink against the bell she forces him to wear. 
“I like it too.” She smiles and pets his head as she kneels down next to her bed. “Alright, I got to go to school. Remember, don’t bring mice into the house. If you’re going to bring female cats home, make sure it’s not in my room. I’ll see you tomorrow. You’re my best friend and I love you.”
She kisses the top of his head before picking up her bookbag and walking out of the room, not noticing him climbing out of her window as soon as she closes her door a smidge. She wasn’t lying. Her cat was her best friend and she makes sure to tell him everyday, despite him probably not knowing what the hell she’s saying. 
She had found him in her backyard one day, eating a mouse with no collar. It was clear that he belonged to no one, that he was on his own. She knew she had to take him in, after asking her parents of course. Ever since, she’s been feeding him, playing with him and letting him sleep on her bed, cuddled up next to her. 
She even lets him roam free, knowing he’ll come right back home. He’s literally her best friend and she wouldn’t trade him for the world, even if he leaves her surprises on the back porch. After slipping on her shoes and red jacket, she walks out the front door, ready to take on the day.
Tumblr media
Max Dennison has only been in town for about a week and a half and he already hates it. He misses the sunny days of California. He misses his friends. Hell, he misses his old house. To him, Salem, Massachusetts is a horrible place to live. It’s gloomy, rainy and far too obsessed with this witchy, Halloween stuff.
It was never his favorite holiday to begin with so moving to a town that is all for it irritates him. He can’t wait to move once he turns eighteen next year. The only thing good about this town is this one girl. On Max’s first day of school earlier this week, he caught sight of a beautiful girl. Blonde hair. These crystal blue eyes that remind him of the ocean back home. 
He’s never even spoken a word to her and he’s already hooked. He rubs his eyes as he walks to his final class of the day. History. The third class he has with the girl he has his eyes on. Seeing her will make this boring class worth it. He sits down in his assigned seat and pulls out his notebook, unsure of what they will be learning today. 
As he opens his notebook, he glances up at a soft giggle that enters his ears. There she is. The purple shirt she’s wearing really brings out her eyes, and he’s really trying hard not to look down a smidge. As she walks by him, he quickly looks down at his notebook, not wanting to be caught watching her.
 Since she sits in the row next to him, but one seat behind, he can easily get caught by the teacher, or hell, another student! Maybe today, he’ll finally talk to her…yeah, probably not going to happen. As class starts, their teacher, Miss Olin who is dressed as a witch, begins telling the legend of the Sanderson Sisters. 
The very legend that Casey got her cat's name from. Even though she knows every bit of the legend, she’s listening closely, hoping to hear something different but she never does. Max, however, is doodling in his notebook, not believing one ounce of the story. 
“Poor Thackery Binx. Neither his father, his mother, nor anyone else ever knew what became of him…those 300 years ago.” Miss Olin says, walking up an aisle before stopping in front of the classroom. “And so the Sanderson Sisters were hanged by the Salem townsfolk. Now, there are those who say that on Halloween night…a black cat still guards the old Sanderson house, warning off any who might make the witches…come back to life!”
She then throws a black ribbon attached to her hand at a girl’s face causing the teenage girl to scream in fright. The rest of the students in the room, besides Max, laugh at her scream. Max shakes his head in disbelief as he doodles.
“Give me a break.” He mumbles, moving his pen along the letters he drew.
“Aha, we seem to have a skeptic in our midst.” Miss Olin raises an eyebrow as she steps toward his desk. “Mr. Dennison, would you care to share your California, laid-back, tie-dyed point of view?”
The room erupted into laughter again at her sarcasm. He looks up at her after glancing around the room and smirks, gaining some courage. 
“Okay. Granted that, uh, you guys here in Salem are all into these, uh, black cats and witches and stuff…”
Miss Olin cuts him off with a scoff while the rest of the room let him know that his words were unneeded by their tones of displeasure. 
“Stuff?”
“Fine. But everyone here knows that Halloween was invented by the candy companies. It’s a conspiracy.” He finishes, smirking at his teacher. 
 A voice speaks up, capturing Max’s attention. He turns toward the voice and his cheeks redden a bit at who is talking. It’s her…
“It just so happens that Halloween is based on the ancient feast called All Hallows Eve. It’s the one night of the year where the spirits of the dead can return to earth.” She explains, giving the teenager her own smirk. 
The class breaks out into cheers and claps at her comment, happy to prove the new kid wrong with his non-beliefs and crappy theories. He turns back to his notebook and flips to a new paper, quickly jotting something down, a small smile on his face as he keeps his courage. 
“Well said, Casey.” Miss Olin says, smiling widely at her, clapping herself.
She grins to herself and high fives Allison who is sitting right behind the non-believer. Max stands up from his chair as his classmates talk around him. He takes a few steps toward her desk, capturing her attention. 
“Well, in case Jimi Hendrix shows up tonight, here’s my number.” He says, holding out the piece of paper.
Tumblr media
She raises an eyebrow, ignoring her classmates groans, and takes the single sheet before opening it up. ‘Max Dennison 555-9142’ it reads. The bell rings and Casey stands up from her chair, giving the boy a small smirk as she puts the number in her pocket. He smiles at her actions before watching her walk away.
“Max.” A boy that sat behind her captures his attention. “Fat chance.”
The new kid just rolls his eyes and gathers his stuff up, ready to go home. Casey quickly stops at her locker, making sure to grab her jacket while sticking all her books in the metal container. Since Halloween is such a big holiday in Salem, the school doesn’t give out homework if it lands on a weekend such as today. 
As she puts her notebook away, she notices a pen sitting on the top shelf. Smirking to herself, she pulls out Max’s number and rips the paper, jotting something down on one half. Shoving one piece into her jeans pocket and the other, along with the pen, into her jacket pocket, she hangs her bookbag on the hook and closes the door. 
Casey then jogs out to the front doors, meeting up with Allison as she glances around the parking lot. 
“So did he really give you his number?” Allison asks, fixing her bag that rests on her shoulder as they walk down the sidewalk. 
“He did.” She nods, smiling softly to herself as she plays with the paper in her jacket pocket.
“And are you going to call him?” Her friend raises an eyebrow.
“If I do, it won't be till…”
“Casey!” 
The blonde turns around and sees the new kid on his bike, riding toward her. She looks at her best friend and gestures down the road.
“I’ll catch up.”
Allison raises an eyebrow at the brunette haired boy before nodding at her friend. Casey turns back around and watches as Max stops his bike beside her, panting very softly as he straddles his seat. 
“Hi.” She says, smiling slightly at him. 
“Hi. Look, uhh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to embarrass you in class.” He says, regretting his actions. 
He thought about it on his way to his bike. He shouldn’t have done that. What if she hates him now? What if she never wants to see him again? He practically humiliated her in front of their entire class. 
“You didn’t.” She shrugs, not caring one bit about the awkward exchange that happened. 
If anything, she’s the one that embarrassed him in front of the entire class by proving him wrong. He pauses for a moment, unsure of what to say so he lets go of his handlebars and holds his hand out to her. 
“My name is Max Dennison.” He says, despite having practically told her through his note.
“Yeah, I know.” She says, shaking his hand. “You just moved here, huh?”
“Yeah, last week.” He says, not wanting to think about how soft her hands were compared to his. 
“Must be a big change for you.” She says, letting go of his hand to put her own back into her jacket pocket. 
“Yeah, that’s for sure.” He says, scoffing slightly, gripping his handlebars again.
“You don’t like it here?” She raises an eyebrow.
“Oh, the leaves are great…” He says, gesturing around them. “But - I - I don’t know. Just all this Halloween shit.”
“You don’t believe in it?” She asks, pushing her hip out slightly as she rests most of her body weight on one leg, not caring about his language.
“What? Do you mean, like The Sanderson Sisters?” He shakes his head with a light chuckle escaping his lips. “No way.”
“Not even on Halloween?” She asks, biting her lip softly, trying to hide her amusement.
“Especially not on Halloween.” He says, putting emphasis on the beginning of his sentence with a smile.
Tumblr media
Casey licks the inside of her cheek before reaching into her pocket. Holding up two fingers with a piece of paper sitting between them, she gently pulls Max’s left hand off his handlebars. He opens his hand, watching her movements, praying that his cheeks aren’t turning red at her actions. She presses the piece of paper into his hand, smiling as she looks up at him as she closes his hand around it. 
“Trick or treat.”
Letting his hand go, she turns around and starts walking toward where Allison is waiting, talking to another friend of theirs. Max’s eyes watch her before looking down at the folded paper. His heart is pounding in his chest as he moves to open the paper.
“Max!” He hears her call out for him, causing his head to snap up. “Call me Cas.”
Not knowing what to say, he nods at her words, watching her walk away again. This time, she turns around and puts up her red hood, making it look like she was wearing a witch’s pointed hat. He bites his lip and looks back down at the piece of paper. Swallowing the small amount of spit in his mouth, he unfolds the paper. 
The first thing that caught his eye was that the top half was ripped off, meaning…she kept his number! He smiles softly before looking at the words written. ‘Casey Blackstone. 555-????. No tricks, Max. Earn your treat.’ with a smiley face. The smile drops from his face for a moment before it shows up again. 
She didn’t give him her full number, but by the way she wrote this note, she might plan on giving it to him later! Hell, if she did keep his number, is she going to call him later? He looks back up toward the direction his blonde crush was walking to see her in the distance, walking with her friend. He bites the inside of his lip before putting the note into his pocket.
“What was that about?” Allison asks, glancing over her shoulder to see Max pedaling away on his bike.
“Oh, nothing.” Casey grins as she walks. “Just apologizing for embarrassing me in class.”
“Oh!” She nods before squealing softly. “Anyway! My mom said your costume will go great with ours.”
“Do I really have to be a peasant while your whole family, as well as their friends, are wearing  Masquerade outfits?” She groans slightly.
“She said there were only two dresses so she had to get you something else.” Allison says, shrugging.
“I knew I should have gotten the bunny costume when I had the chance.” Casey mumbles, walking down the road.
Tumblr media
Max is ready to go back home to California. Today has been one of the worst days of his entire life. First, he embarrasses his crush in class. She said he didn’t, but he knows he did. Then he was stopped at the graveyard by two wanna-be rapper bullies, Jay and Ernie. Sorry, Ice - not Ernie. Lastly, they took his brand new shoes! 
His shoes! What jerks take someone else’s shoes? He had to pedal all the way back home in just his socks. It was so humiliating. He parks his bike next to the house and practically stomps up the stairs to the back door. Slamming the screen door open, he opens the wooden door that leads to the kitchen to see his mom and dad putting away items from their move. 
“Hey, Max!” His mom says, smiling at him. “Hey, how was school?”
“It fucking sucked.” He says, leaving the door open as he makes his way through the room. 
“Hey, hey, hey, watch your language.” His dad says, standing up from the floor.
He ignores him and starts walking up the stairs that lead to the bedrooms. 
“I can’t believe you made me move here!” He calls down before walking to his door. 
He slams his head against the wood, next to his name plate that he put there, causing his hat to bunch up. He sighs and smacks the door with the side of his fist. Taking a second to himself, he opens the door and throws his book bag onto the floor near to his drum set. He rips his hat off his head and throws it against the stairs in his room that leads to the window seat above. 
He shakes off his jacket as he walks and tosses it to the ground behind him. Trying to calm himself down, he sighs deeply as he looks out the window before glancing down at the fish tank he has beside his bed. He picks up their container of food.
“Hey, guys.” He says, leaning down to sprinkle some into the water. 
He puts the flakes down before sitting on his bed, laying back into the pillows. There was one good thing about today, though. She talked to him! He rolls away from his fish tank and grabs one of his extra pillows, cuddling it to his chest. He grins to himself as he thinks about her. Her voice. Her hair. Her smile…
“Oh, Cas.” He mumbles, smiling as he closes his eyes, imaging her right beside him. “You’re so soft. I just wanna hug…”
His closet doors slam open as a child's voice is heard.
“Boo!”
He jumps slightly, looking over his shoulder as he lets his pillow go. 
“Dani!” He snaps at his little sister who was hiding in his room. 
She laughs and squeals in victory as she claps, knowing she scared him. She runs toward him, still laughing and jumps over him to lay down. He sits up, raising an eyebrow at her as all his anger from the day comes back. 
“I scared you, I scared you!” She leans up so she’s close to his face. “Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Ha!”
He shakes his head but before he can speak, she lays back and throws her arms out, a smile still on her face.
Tumblr media
“I’m Cas! Cas! Kiss me, I’m Cas!”
Embarrassed that his sister caught him daydreaming about his crush, he stands up and looks at her. 
“Mom and dad told you to stay out of my room!”
“Don’t be such a crab.” She says, standing up on his mattress before jumping up and down. “Guess what. You’re taking me trick-or-treating.”
He sighs and shakes his head. “Not this year, Dani.”
“Mom said you have to.” Dani says, jumping off his bed, landing on her feet beside him. 
“Well, she can take you.” He says, turning to walk away. 
She grabs him by his sleeve and pulls him back.
“She and dad are going to a party at Town Hall.”
“Well, you’re eight! Go by yourself.” He says, pulling his shirt from her hand and walking to his drum set. 
He sits down as he grabs his sticks and immediately begins to play a beat, ignoring his sister as he closes his eyes. She sighs with a determined look on her face and walks over to him. 
“No way! This is my first time! I’ll get lost! Besides, it’s a full moon outside! The weirdos are out!” Noticing he isn’t backing down, Dani walks around the drum set to wrap her arms around her older brother’s shoulders forcing him to stop playing. “Come on, Max. Couldn’t you forget about being a cool teenager just for one night? Please…Come on. We used to have so much fun together trick-or-treating. Remember? It’ll be like old times.”
He shrugs her off and shakes his head. If he was going to willingly take her, that just ruined her chances.
“No. The old days are dead.” He says, beginning to play the same beat again. 
Dani puts her hands on her hips and glares at him. 
“It doesn’t matter what you say. You’re taking me!”
He instantly stops and looks at her, the same glare on his own face. 
“Wanna bet?”
He drops his sticks onto the Floor Tom drum and jumps up from his seat. He runs up the small flight of stairs, skipping a few steps and sits at the top, near the window seat, crossing his arms on his knees. His little sister stomps toward the stairs before putting her hands on her hips again. 
“MOM!!!!” She screams loudly.

329 years ago... ( October 31st, 1693)
A loud sudden gust of wind and the noise of spooked livestock woke Thackery Binx from his bed. He turned to his left to check on his little sister, Emily Binx, who was no longer in her bed. He quickly gets dressed and exits the house to search for his sister.
A strange song can be heard in the background, but Thackery ignores it as he asks his neighbor Elijah about his sister's whereabouts, "Elijah! Elijah, Has Thee seen my sister, Emily?" "Nay, but look they conjure" Elijah replies pointing to the woods where purple smoke can be seen in the sky. "Oh God! The woods!!" Thackery exclaims as he and Elijah run down the road to get a better look. They see Emily following a witch into the woods, giggling. Thackery calls out to his sister, but she fails to hear him. "She's done for!" Elijah says only to be cut off by Thackery, "Not Yet! Wake my father! Summon the elders!! Go!"
Thackery shoves Elijah before he takes off into the woods, calling after Emily. As he runs, he fails to see the steep hill he's atop and falls all the way down, panting and groaning. As he collects himself, he looks up to see his sister follow the witch into a cottage where two other witches are waiting with a boiling cauldron of purple liquid.
Thackery sneaks up to the cottage and peaks through a window to see the three witches gather around his sister like hungry wolves. His sister catches a glance of him and her eyes widen raising the witches' suspicion. The eldest witch, Winifred Sanderson, looks out the window while the other two, Mary and Sarah Sanderson, go outside to look for the cause of the surprised expression on the child's face. Seeing nothing, Winifred sighs and says before shutting the window, "Oh look. Another glorious morning. It makes me sick!" She turns her back to the window calling for her sisters before commenting, "Must have been an imp"
Winifred walks over to her spellbook and talks to the oddly living book, "My darling! My little book." She carresses the book as she continues to speak, "We must continue with our spell now that our little guest of honor has arrived. Mary!" She gestures her younger sister to stir the cauldron resulting in some bickering that the youngest of the three, Sarah, was not helping. Only for Winifred to point out that Sarah had done her job already.
The book opens itself to the page that contains the recipe for the potion the witches are brewing. Winifred reads the recipe as Mary brews, "Bring to a full rolling boil. Add two drops oil of boil. Mix blood of owl with the herb that's red. Turn three times, pluck a hair from thy head. Add a dash of pox and a dead man's toe" As they brew Thackery sneaks into the cottage by climbing the water wheel and entering the second floor window. After adding the dead man's toe, Sarah and Mary start to mess around causing Winifred to scold the two "Will you two stop that! I need to concentrate."
"Sisters! Gather 'round. One thing more and all is done. Add a bit of thine own tongue" Winifred says as she and her sisters spit into the cauldron causing the liquid in the cauldron to turn green meaning the potion has successfully been brewed. "Tis ready for tasting! One drop of this and her life will be mine. I mean, ours" Winifred said as she gathered a bit of the potion into a spoon before turning to Emily, "Alright girl open up your mouth" Thackery stands up making himself known in an attempt to save his sister, "No!!!" he screams jumping down onto the floor to stop the witches.
"Get him you fools!" Winifred shouts at her sisters. They circle around the cauldron until Thackery decides to empty the potion onto the floor and use the empty cauldron to knock the other two witches to the floor. "Emily!!" he calls as he runs towards her, but Winifred uses her power to zap Thackery, causing him to fall to the floor in pain.
As the two get up from the floor, Mary notices that Emily, who had drank a bit of the potion before her brother intervened, was surrounded by a feint light. "Winnie, look." Mary said cheerfully. Winifred smiled, "Sisters prepare thyselves. Tis her life force. The potion works. Take my hands we will share her"
The three sisters stalk towards the child and inhale her life force leaving, Emily Binx dead slumped over in the chair. Thackery brings himself to his feet as the sisters revel in their newfound youthful appearance that has been gained by inhaling Emily's life force.
Winifred turns to Thackery and grits out, "Let's brew another batch!"
"You hag! There are not enough children in the world to make thee young and beautiful." Thackery says insulting Winifred. She and her sisters decide to punish him and look through the spell book for options, eventually settling on one. "His punishment shall not be to die but to live forever with his guilt" The three begin to chant a spell turning Thackery into a black cat.
Too late to save anyone, a mob arrives at the Sandersons’ door, and they capture the sisters to hang them in the town square. Thackery's father interrigates the sisters before the hanging about the fate of his son which the sisters laugh and say, "I don't know cats got my tongue"
Before the sisters die, however, they sing a song and cast a curse, making it so that it is possible for them to return to their sacred city one day. "Fools! All of you! my ungodly book speaks to you. On All Hallows' Eve when the moon is round, a virgin will summon us from under the ground!! Ohho! We shall be back and all the lives of all the children shall be mine." Winifred cackles before Thackery's father orders them to be hung.
Present Day... (October 31st, 2022)
The nine lovers sat around the fireplace listening to each other tell scary Halloween stories to the group having a competition to see who could scare each other the most. "C’mon, y/n, you're not scared of the Sanderson sisters, are you?” Minho teased their girlfriend softly. She scoffed even though she had buried herself in Changbin's strong arms, "No, it's just that story is creepy. I mean, who curses a boy to be alive forever"
The others laughed before Hyunjin spoke up, "It's not that scary. why don't we go to the old Sanderson house and see if the cat is still there?" "I don't know, Jinnie. Are you sure that's a good idea?" Y/n asked. The others tried to encourage her to go with them. Chan wrapped his arms around y/n, "Don't worry, baby girl, I'll protect you."
Y/n reluctantly agreed to go with her boyfriends to the witches' house. They all slid on their coats before they said goodbye to y/n's parents and left the house. As they walked, Seungmin told them random facts about the Sanderson Sisters. "Legend says that the bones of a hundred children are buried underneath these walls," Seungmin says. Y/N and Felix shivered, holding onto each other. "You're not making this any better, Minnie." y/n said quietly as she held onto Felix's hand and one of Chan's arms.
They laughed softly as they entered the old house that had once been a museum but ultimately was closed because of the spooky things that had happened there. Jisung flicked on the light switch turning on all the lights. "Woah, this looks so cool" Jeongin said as they looked around
Seungmin and Minho took turns telling the group about the witches. "This is the spell book of Winifred Sanderson. The book is bound in human skin and contains the recipes for some of her most powerful and evil spells," Minho said. "We get the picture," Changbin said softly.
"What's that?" Felix asked, pointing to a candle standing in the corner. ""That's the black flame candle," Seungmin said. Hyunjin walked over to it, "Black flame candle, made from the fat of a hangman. Legend says it will raise the spirits of the dead when lit by a virgin on Halloween night." Hyunjin chuckles, "So why don't we light the sucker and meet the old hags?" Y/N instantly shook her head, "Let's not and say we did."
Hyunjin goes to light it when Thackery Binx jumps onto him trying to prevent him from doing so. Hyunjin screams as he falls to the floor, "Stupid cat!" He stands up after prying Thackery off of him. "Okay Hyune, you've had your fun. It's time to go" Jisung says softly. "He's right it's time to go" Chan agrees. "Oh come on it's just a bunch of hocus pocus" Hyunjin says with a scoff shaking his head. "Jinnie I'm not kidding this time it's time to go," Y/n said taking Chan's hand in hers.
Hyunjin shook his head and lit the candle with his lighter, "JIN NO!" Felix said loudly. Y/n gasps as all the lights go out, the wind blew heavily, and the ground started shaking. Chan pulled her close as they looked at Hyunjin, "Looks like a virgin lit the candle."

Since 'Tis the Season
and because I heard Hocus Pocus is getting a sequel (?), I'd like to share and idea I had. I thought it would be cool to give Hocus Pocus the ol' 80 treatment and make it into...
An animated series. Interested? Well, here we go anyway.
It's been a full year since Max, Dani, and Allison defeated the Sanderson sisters. While Max can't shake his California rep, he's done well in sports, particularly baseball. Allison works part time at the newly reopened Sanderson Sisters museum. Inspired by Winifred's comment last Halloween, shes been studying protective witchcraft and has taken to watching over the Book. Dani is, well, being Dani. Ever the clever one, she managed to convince her parents to let her get a pet: a little black cat named Binx of course. The three look forward to a "normal" Halloween this year but fate has other things in mind.
Turns out that while the Sanderson sisters were the scourge of Salem township, their presence kept away other nastiness that goes bump in the night. With them exploded and gone, another Witch shows up to try and claim the spellbook for herself. Things look grim until Dani's cat shows up and sacrifices itself to save them. The tears don't last long as the spirit of Thackery Binx returns to possess the body of the cat. Binx, back in fur, brings a warning: with the Sanderson Sister gone, other witches and worse are coming to claim the spellbook and some of what's out there, makes the Sisters look like high school mean girls.
Now, Max, Dani, and Allison have to defend Salem and Winifred's spellbook from all manner of witches, goblins and other supernatural creeps all while the adults in town remain frustratingly oblivious to everything. After all, it's just a bunch of Hocus Pocus, right?
Plot ideas:
- to save Max, Dani reads from the book to re-awaken Billy Butcherson. Billy joins the group to defend Salem and provide flashbacks of the Sisters.
-the Witch who initially attacks on Halloween is Mama Sanderson. She's come to reclaim the book and avenge her daughters. Of course, she disguises herself as a teacher at Max's high school.
-most episodes are monster of the week plots with the gang having to research the creature to defeat it.
-Dani, feeling useless, secretly begins learning spells from the book. Sometimes these go awry and cause plot. Season finale idea, Dani goes dark/gets possessed and has to be saved. Dealing with the dark is season 2 B plot.

It’s Just A Bunch Of Hocus Pocus
Sisters I suggest we form a calming circle because Hocus Pocus Limited Edition Dolls are finally coming to ShopDisney this October. We haven’t had to wait 300 years but for die-hard fans of the movie, which was released in 1993 and has remained a holiday staple ever since, the release of these dolls comes as a big treat. The Spellbinding Sanderson Sisters will be available across Europe on Tuesday the 5th of October 2021. Those wishing to snag any of these magical dolls will be able to do so online from 8am on ShopDisney EU or in select stores (Oxford Street, London, Grafton Street, Dublin, and Champs-Élysées, Paris). There will be 3,000 of each doll available in Europe. Each doll will retail for 120euros (bubble bubble my wallet’s in trouble!). I believe they stand at around 11inches tall. I cannot wait for these dolls to run amok in my collection.
Tumblr media
Let’s take a closer look at each of the dolls and see what fun details Disney has included.
We’ll start with the glorious Winifred
Tumblr media
As you can see each doll comes with a standard black stand to display them on. Winnie is accompanied by her faithful Book, containing all of the spells and potions for their magical mischief making. She also comes with a sweeping brush taken from the broom cupboard of the Sanderson Sisters House/Museum and used to fly after Dani, Binx, Max and Alison in their hunt to retrieve the book. The dress and cloak, although faithful to the movie, doesn’t look like it’s the best quality (but that’s just my opinion). I do love the colours and I’m a huge fan of Winnie’s face here. They captured the iconic lips perfectly. I also really like her hair, they seem to have gotten the colour and shape spot on.
Tumblr media
Winnie’s box art features the Book and a potion bottle, probably in reference to the Life Potion that keeps the sisters looking young and living forever. The green on the box ties in with her dress and in the background you can see the split colours of orange and blue, each of which lines up with Sarah and Mary’s box (with Winnie placed in the middle). If you go from right to left with the boxes lined up, the colour fades from dark blue to orange possibly in reference to dawn approaching (I dunno I might be reaching here).
Next up is Mary.
Tumblr media
I cannot stress how much I love this doll. She is my favourite out of the three sisters. The details on her dress are just stunning and that face! Goosebumps. The expression is just perfect, I can almost hear her saying “I smell children”. Her hair is black and purple just like the movie and styled with braids in her signature coiffure. She has the black display stand that the other two dolls have. Thackery Binx is also included in his cat form. I do love the wide-eyed look he has here, it’s almost like he’s in shock after the transformation is complete. Mary also comes with the vacuum cleaner she uses to fly.
Tumblr media
Mary’s box art features Binx and interestingly Dead Man’s Toe, one of the ingredients needed for their Life Potion.
And finally there’s Sarah.
Tumblr media
Ok I’ll be honest I was kind of disappointed by Sarah. Her face just looks...off to me. She weirdly reminds me of the Ariel doll from the Ralph Breaks The Internet princess doll set. The hair is all wrong for me too. It’s got way too much product and just falls in these two big stiff curls. It’s not all bad though, I do like the details on the dress and cloak (however I do wish the quality was slightly better for the price you’ll pay). And I love, love, love that she comes with the black flame candle which has some incredible detail when you look closely! Sarah also comes with a mop which she uses to fly and the black display stand.
Tumblr media
Sarah’s box arts features a candle, it’s not quite the black flame candle to me but you be the judge, and an eye. I do love that there’s a spider in the tree on the left as fans will recall Sarah eating a spider she finds after leaving the house for the first time after their resurrection.
Overall I’m just thrilled we’re finally getting the Sanderson Sisters brought back to life (albeit in doll form). I do wish the quality was better for the price. Honestly I’d be way more comfortable if they were around the 50euros mark. Drop a comment and let me know if you’ll be including the Sanderson Sisters in your collection.

we’re talking about three ancient hags versus the twentieth century, how bad can it be?
it’s a piece i’ve been pitching since 1693 (well, almost) and it’s finally here… i spoke with doug jones (billy butcherson), thackery binx (jason marsden), and screenwriter mick garris about the most glorious of all hallowe’en treats and one of my all-time favourite films! it’s out now in SFX magazine!
grab your black cats, broomsticks, and a dead man’s toe, and remember: it’s just a bunch of hocus pocus!

“ nice going, airhead . ”
Tumblr media
did i just spot ( austin butler ) around town? oh no wait, it was just ( THACKERY DENNISON ). rumor has it that he is the ( twenty eight ) year old child of ( dani dennison ) from ( hocus pocus ). i’ve also heard that they’re ( resourceful ) and ( impulsive ), and have ( zero ) sibling(s). 
it’s ellie, back on my bs. i love hocus pocus probably more than anything else. i say that about lots of things. anyway! here’s my bb. 
thackery nathaniel dennison is the only child of dani dennison. he was adopted as an infant by his mother. she told him he was adopted when he was eight years old. 
he was named after thackery binx, the immortal human turned cat that helped dani, her brother max, and now sister-in-law allison defeat the sanderson sisters many years ago. he wasn’t told that story until halloween night when he was ten years old.
growing up, witches and the supernatural were a pivotal part of his childhood. halloween was a big deal in the dennison household. he was a black cat for his first three halloweens.
thackery knows way too much about witches, ghosts, demons, and other supernatural entities. as a child, he would read lots of books about them and learn everything he could from his mother.
history was always his favorite subject in school growing up. he was especially interested in salem’s history and the witch trials. when he went to college after high school, he would get a history degree.
after college, he would join the team at the sanderon sister museum. his job was to upkeep the artifacts and asses any new ones that crept up. 
thackery is clever, a bit sarcastic and sharp-tongued like his mother. 
when he’s not at the museum, he enjoys riding around salem on his motorcycle.
he’s the chaotic neutral type. he likes to paint and sketch. he also likes to cook. he’s stubborn, impulsive and has no regard for personal safety. he smokes. he drinks. he likes to get in just enough trouble, but nothing serious.
when he was a kid, he wanted desperately to be a witch. 
while he’s not overly spiritual, he does believe in the universe. his place is covered in greenery, crystals, candles and he is always stocked on salt - just in case. he knows a few protection charms and sages his place every so often. maybe it’s just a bunch of hocus pocus, but in the dennison family, they believe that sort of thing.
wanted connections:
best friend(s); thackery is loyal to his friends and family. he would most likely die for you. he’s a bit of a spitfire, and will have no issue telling you like it is. if he doesn’t like what you’re doing, he’ll tell you. halloween’s with thackery are a blast. there will be an abundance of candy and unsolicited facts about witches mostly. 
partner in crime; thackery needs someone he can get in trouble with. he’ll always have your back and watch your six. he has no regard for his own safety but will always make sure you’re out of harm's way. he’ll always take the fall. 
family; he loves his mom, even if he gives her heart attacks with his antics. he probably learned most of them from his uncle max. any cousins would be awesome! he’d probably be close with them, since he has no siblings of his own.
the sanderson’s: ok but he’d shit himself if the sanderson sister’s or any kids of theirs  show up in town. salt circles everywhere. 
love interest:  it’s a game of cat and mouse. thackery likes the chase. but he doesn’t like waiting. so abbie. do the thing already :*
literally just hmu and we’ll figure something out!

25- The Sanderson Sisters
Tumblr media
25- The Sanderson Sisters (Hocus Pocus, 1993). Winifred Sanderson (Bette Midler), Mary Sanderson (Kathy Najimy), Sarah Sanderson (Sarah Jessica Parker).
“Thank you...for that marvelous introduction.”
Hocus Pocus is a classic Halloween movie, continuing the legacy of cult-classic Disney films that manage to capture timeless qualities of witchcraft. While this is certainly the kind of movie that earlier generations of witches would have been holistically opposed to (Laurie Cabot #29), they have become largely embraced and reclaimed by modern witches and Pagans. While the overt portrayal of the witches through the movie is stereotypical and continues the legacy of the marginalization and fear of female power, it nevertheless illustrates a modern spin on the classic tale of witches in early American folklore.
The plot of the movie is relatively concise. It follows the story of three sisters, Winifred, Mary, and Sarah Sanderson. Winifred is the oldest (don’t tell her I said that), and as such is the most controlling, terse, and in-charge. She’s described as buck-toothed and follows the tradition of red-haired witches (#47). Mary is the middle sister, and spends her time doting on Winifred. Mary is awkward and foolish, with the olfactory power of seeking out children. Sarah is the youngest, making her the most beautiful and seductive, which often puts her at odds with Winifred. Sarah is reminiscent of a young 20-something at Burning Man who has dropped too much ecstasy—she experiences the world erotically, having a kind of synesthesia and continuous orgasm of the skin. The three sisters complete each other, having a total unity of movement, becoming a modern example of the Graeae (#64).  
On October 31st, 1693, the Sanderson sisters are hanged outside their home near Salem, Mass. They’ve been accused of witchcraft and implicated in the murder and disappearance of Emily and Thackery Binx. Immediately before their death, the sisters, through their anthropomorphized Book of Shadows, enact a spell that will allow them to return to life once again. Upon the lighting of the Black Flame Candle by a virgin on All Hallows Eve, the sisters will rise. Flash forward to October 31st, 1993, and an overly cynical Max Dennison is the virgin the witches have been waiting for.
The Sanderson sisters are resurrected into the 21st century. Typical havoc ensues, as the witches must familiarize themselves with modern technology, culture, and most importantly, the modern celebration of Halloween. The sisters have until sunrise the following day to complete a spell to solidify their resurrection, or they will return to the dust from whence they came. This movie was released before we as a society were really rooting for the witches to win, so it’s a positive thing when Max saves the day and prevents the Sanderson Sisters from gaining immortality (womp womp).
Hocus Pocus reinforces many traditional stereotypes and offensive attributes of witches and witchcraft. The Sanderson sisters’ entire plan for immortality comes through the murder and consumption of children—a prevalent trope in witch lore. In addition to this, the Sandersons are unabashed devil worshipers, with dear old Papa Satan as their leader and Master. These attributes are not particularly helpful for furthering the cause of modern witches and Pagans, so an aversion to this kind of portrayal is certainly understandable.
With all of these negative biases latent throughout the film, I’m always surprised at how much my generation—my self included—truly loves this movie. It can’t just be about Bette Midler’s over the top acting, or Sarah Jessica Parker’s over-sexualized magnetism, or Kathy Najimy’s childish comic relief. Why are we siding with child-murdering Satanists? For me, the answer lies in the fact that my generation has internalized, in a thorough and profound way, the fact that the story we are told is never the entire picture, especially when it comes to women. We reject the half-truths that have been told to us ad nauseam, giving marginalized women the benefit of the doubt and waiting eagerly until their story is told on their terms. This was the case with the retelling of Maleficent (#81) and the retelling of Elphaba (she’s coming, I promise). I’m not saying that the Sanderson sisters have an untold story and redemptive arc, but I think we’d all be interested to hear it if it were told.
One aspect of the movie that remains truly powerful, however, is the portrayal of the witches’ obsession with, and fetishization of, youth. At the beginning of the movie, the Sanderson sisters are decrepit hags who have aged far beyond their prime. Their sole purpose becomes stealing the essence of children to create their youth-restoring tinctures (the entire plot of the movie). The result of this is that they are returned to their seductive and sexy younger selves (especially with SJP’s character Sarah), although they wish to make themselves even younger. Again, Disney has a weird fetishization of their own with this trope, as the Hag/Vixen dichotomy resurfaces in most of their portrayals of witches (See: Ursula #58, Madam Mim #42, et. al.). The fact that the Hag/Vixen motif appears as one of the most prolific allegories throughout mainstream television and cinematic interpretations of witches is truly telling.
I find that this dichotomy comes as a direct result of ~our~ fear and marginalization of the Crone and female aging. As a society, we embrace the wizened, long bearded Wizard, but reject the crow-footed Crone. Through projecting our fears of aged women onto witchcraft, we force witches to similarly adopt this detestation. Their obsession with youth is our obsession with youth. Society forces the vixen onto the hag, compelling her to permeate the impregnable walls of time again and again. Once society rejects this obsession with youth and the belittling of aging, witches too will no longer seek the immortality and restorative powers they find in children.
We love the Sanderson sisters because, through them, we learn that magic is very real. We all begin the movie like the virgin Max, overly skeptical and adhering to the oppressively dogmatic laws of science. By the end of the movie, again like Max, we are fully integrated Salem residents, holistically in agreement with the laws and truths of magic and witchcraft. As a modern audience, we know that, throughout herstory, there is always another side to the story that we do not know. As such, we are willing to excuse the Sanderson’s maleficence until we can get the full picture. Just let these old women sleep next time, Max, after all, it’s not just a bunch of Hocus Pocus.

13 Nights of Halloween #8 - Hocus Pocus Date Night
Tumblr media
“Harold! Come on!” You groaned from downstairs in front of the TV. 
“I’m coming!” He groaned struggling to walk down the stairs. 
“I told you not to go to the gym today,” you smirked. 
“Yeah, well, it was a quick session, yet I can’t fucking move,” he said. 
“Good thing we’re having a date night in,” you said. 
“And by date night you mean watching a movie that you’re going to be quoting non-fucking stop?” He laughed. 
“There’s at one point in the relationship you found that cute, are you saying it’s not now?” you asked pouting. 
“No, it’s just when it’s every line in the movie... I feel like you might as well just perform it,” he laughed sitting on the couch next to you. 
You brought the bowl of popcorn into your lap and Harry grabbed a handful. 
“This is why I went to the gym,” he laughed. 
You rolled your eyes and finally pressed play on the movie. Hocus Pocus has been one of your favorites, no is your favorite Halloween movie since the first tie you watched it when you were younger. For many Halloween’s you dressed up as one of the Sanderson sisters or Dani from the movie. You even had a stuffed animal Binx you used to carry around. 
And since you have seen the movie so many times, you could quote the movie verbatim, which is why only Harry will watch it with you and no one else. Everyone else in your life refuses to watch it with you, however, you didn’t know how much longer Harry was going to last. 
“Oh look! Another glorious morning. Makes me sick!” You quoted just as Harry shook his head. 
“Sorry,” you laughed. 
He laughed grabbing some more popcorn as he watched. 
“Max likes your yaboos. In fact, he loves them,” you said with a mouthful of popcorn. 
“I like your yaboos,” Harry smirked. “Can I see them tonight?” 
You rolled your eyes, “You wish.”
“I do,” he nodded. 
“We’ll see,” you said. “It depends on if you get through this movie tonight.” 
“Challenge accepted,” he smirked. 
You rolled your eyes and went back to watching the movie. 
“It’s all just a bunch of Hocus Pocus.”
“A Virgin lit the candle.”
“Amuck Amuck Amuck!” 
“I am Calm!” 
“I put a spell on you.”
“Go to hell! Oh, I’ve been there I find it to be quite lovely.”
“Thackery. Thackery Binx. What took thee so long?” 
“I’m sorry, Emily. I had to wait three hundred years for a virgin to light a candle.” 
By the time the end credits start scrolling up the screen, you looked over at Harry, who was rubbing his head. 
“Thank god,” he groaned. 
“Oh shut up!” You rolled your eyes. “Let’s watch it again!” 
“No!” He said quickly grabbed the remote. 
“Rude,” you mumbled. 
“Okay, I made it through the movie... soo how about seeing those yaboos?” He smirked. 
“Come on,” you laughed pulling him off the couch. 
He laughed picking you up and throwing you over his shoulder. 
“You know you could be Billy and I could be Winnifred or Sarah for Halloween, that’d be a great couples costume,”  you said as he carried you up the stairs. 
Harry just shook his head with a groan as he walked into the bedroom. 
“You love me!” You reminded him. “And my yaboos!” 
He laughed, ”Always.”
