Its October, so you know what that means – shove on a woolly jumper, grab a toffee apple, and fire up the old VHS copy of Hocus Pocus.
The Bette Midler movie has become a cult classic and a firm favourite around Halloween – but it may freak you out to realise it is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
Yep, it was released 25 years ago. Yep, youre old.
And in honour of the milestone, the kids of Salem have reunited to delight us, fill us with nostalgia, and remind us to order our Zimmerframes.
Omri Katz, Vinessa Shaw and Thora Birch – aka Max, Allison and Dani – attended the 25th anniversary part at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, and joined director Kenny Ortega for an amazing reunion picture.

Omri, now 42, no longer looks like the baby-faced virgin who lit the black flame candle, sporting a salt and pepper beard at the event.
Vinessa, also 42 and mum to seven-month-old Jack, went all out for her party outfit, wearing a bright red gown and a matching feather boa.
And American Beauty star Thora – now 36 – showed off her new red hair in the picture, which Ortega uploaded to Instagram.
He wrote: 25 Glorious Hocus Pocus Years later – a Magical Night Celebrating with the Fabulous Thora Birch “Dani”, Omri Katz “Max” and Vinessa Shaw “Allison” 
#itsjustabunchofhocuspocus.
Another picture on Instagram showed the former child stars cuddling up in a selfie – and there were plenty of other Hocus Pocus stars at the event.
Larry Bagby and Tobias Jelinek, aka Ernie Ice and Jay, got back into their cages for old times sake, while Doug Jones (Billy Butcherson), Sean Murray (Thackery Binx) and Kathy Najimy (Mary Sanderson) were on hand for interviews.
Hocus Pocus follows the Sanderson sisters – witches Winifred (Bette Midler), Mary and Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) who are brought back to life after Salems new kid Max lights the black flame candle.

Along with his little sister Dani and school crush Allison, Max attempts to defeat the witches before they suck the lives out of all the children in Salem.

Bizarrely, the Disney film was not released in October, but in July 1993, as Disney didnt want to compete against The Nightmare Before Christmas, and it was a bit of a flop.
Vinessa Shaw told Page Six: It was actually a flop when it came out. [Bette Midler] had gotten an Oscar for her work and had all these prestigious things that shed been doing and then she decides to do this movie which in the critics eyes, it was just appalling. They were just thinking, “How could she do this?”
However, in recent years, Hocus Pocus has become a cult favourite thanks to its constant airings around Halloween.
