Hocus Pocus’ Director Revealed A Wild Deleted Scene Involving Kathy Najimy, And I Wish It Had Been Kept In

Hocus Pocus remains a Halloween season staple as it celebrates its 30th anniversary this spooky season. One of the season’s most beloved not-so-scary witch movies isn’t without a rather dark premise though. It revolves around the hilarious Sanderson sisters as they scramble to suck the soul of at least one child in order to save themselves from becoming dust bunnies. One wild deleted scene that would have underlined that setup further has just been revealed by Hocus Pocus’ director, and I think it would have been a hoot. As Kenny Ortega...

32 Franchises That Got Canceled Before They Made All The Movies

Some movies are lucky enough to become a huge hit with great potential for a sequel, only for those plans to get scrapped for one reason or another. On the other hand, some movies are released with the intention of building an entire franchise, only to be met with poor box office returns, a negative reception from critics and audiences, or other circumstances that ultimately crush those dreams. Either scenario happens more often than Hollywood would like to admit, as you can see from the plentiful examples we have collected...

‘I Am Miserable’: Fans Love Brad Pitt And Tom Cruise In Interview With The Vampire, But The Former Really Hated Filming The Movie

Although Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt are still two of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Interview with the Vampire remains the only time these two have worked together. The film adaptation of Anne Rice’s same-named novel saw Cruise and Pitt respectively playing lead bloodsuckers Lestat de Lioncourt and Louise de Pointe du Lac, and in addition to its commercial success, the movie has assembled a sizable fanbase since its release in 1994. Ironically though, Pitt really hated shooting the flick, even going so far to say he was “miserable” during the production. Interview...

I Rewatched Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride As An Adult And I Don’t Remember It Being This Creepy

Everyone who knows me understands my passion for stop-motion films. And Corpse Bride is one I love and decided to re-watch – and wow, it's a lot creepier than I remember. I absolutely adore stop-motion. I have for years. I loved Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio with all my thoughts, but I will happily re-watch Coraline for memories because it fills me with glee. Honestly, I've looked at many of these movies as pre-horror Alex – some of them have some pretty creepy premises inside of them, and somehow, little me didn't...

Billie Eilish Shared A Hilarious Yet Fair Take On Why ‘Bad Guy’ Is ‘The Stupidest Song,’ But I Have To Disagree

Billie Eilish first turned heads with her gorgeous vocals at the age of 13 when she released her first single “Ocean Eyes” on SoundCloud, which nabbed her a record deal and served as the beginning to her now-massive career. But most people (including myself) first became acquainted with Billie four years later when “bad guy” became a No. 1 hit. Years later, (now that Eilish has had quite a few huge songs) the singer is playfully dunking on the pop song with a super hot take, and I have thoughts. When...

The Key Reason I’m Still Excited For The Next John Wick Movies, Despite My Issues With The Continental

We recently saw the conclusion of The Continental: From The World Of John Wick, the first story set in this world of assassins that did not include John Wick himself as the main character. The Peacock show was… fine? Honestly, I didn’t hate it, but I also didn’t love it, which makes the show a disappointment for me because I love this franchise. It’s one of my absolute favorite modern movie series, and I think John Wick may be the greatest action franchise ever. So naturally I was looking forward...
