26 years ago, Bette Midler took a break from her busy music schedule to put a spell on us in Disney's "Hocus Pocus", a family Halloween classic that'd been in development for almost a decade. The focus? The Sanderson Sisters, a group of wickedly funny witches. Decades later, Robert Eggers made his feature film debut with "The Witch" and won Sundance's Best Director prize. The focus of that film? Witches, and the conspiracies that surround them. This Hallows' Eve, we thought we'd pit the two movies against one another to see how they hold up.

A massive thank you goes to Emma Thorpe, the composer and producer of all of our music.
