Grab a warm blanket and relight the Black Flame Candle. Spooky season is officially upon us! What's more, as if the return of colorful leaves, chilly air, and pumpkin spice lattes wasn't enough to suit all of your autumnal needs, the coziest time of the year also comes with the long-awaited resurrection of three supernatural sisters who no doubt played a huge part in the childhoods of '90s kids worldwide.
That's right. On September 30, 2022, the children of Salem better watch out because the Sanderson sisters, Winnifred (Bette Midler), Mary (Kathy Najimy), and Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) return to this mortal realm after a 29-year absence to continue their quest for eternal youth in director Anne Fletcher's hotly-anticipated nostalgic sequel, "Hocus Pocus 2."
However, if all this talk of witches, ghosts, and things that go bump in the night has got you craving family-friendly frights like some kind of drink-deprived Dracula,...

Roald Dahl’s marvelous horror thriller for children (the ones ready for it) knows exactly what it is and doesn’t soft-pedal the scary stuff. Horrible (but sexy) witches plot the wholesale destruction of Hansels and Gretels everywhere, and the only kid that can stop them has been changed into a mouse. Nicolas Roeg runs wild with Dahl’s imaginative, refreshingly un-pc book; the usual softening touches are skipped in favor of unadulterated scarifying Fun. It couldn’t be better directed; we wish that Roeg had been able to create a dozen such outrageous fantasies. Star Anjelica Huston is an amazing Grand High Witch, with Mai Zetterling, Anne Lambton and Jane Horrocks providing able witchy support. Recommended!

[To help get you into the spooky spirit this October, the Daily Dead team thought it would be a great idea to spotlight some of our favorite witchcraft movies that just might cast a spell on you and make your Halloween season a "hexcellent" one!]
We were methodical trick-or-treaters. Every Halloween night, after hitting every house with a light on for what seemed like endless blocks of suburbia, my sister, cousin, and I would haul our plastic pumpkins into the living room of my parents' house and pour our sugar-coated contents onto the floor. It was there that the sorting—and eating—of each type of candy would begin, and it would always happen in the glow of whatever movie happened to be on TV that Halloween night. Sometimes it was a Friday the 13th film and other times it was Halloweentown. One year, it was The Witches, and let’s just say that it was a little harder to focus on organizing my Reese’s Cups on that All Hallows’ Eve.
Although considered to be a film that’s fun for the whole family, The Witches is wholesome entertainment with teeth—a big set...

In the spirit of October, this list will look at scary scenes, but not from the horror classics directed by Craven or Carpenter or even Hitchcock (I’m excluding him, though I argue most of his work isn’t exactly horror). These are from the films that aren’t really meant to scare you. At least, not at the visceral level that horror films do. These are the fifty definitive moments from non-horror films that still made an impact on the “frightening front.” From shocking to creepy to unsettlingly hair raising, these are moments that will stick in your mind long after watching the films, even if they are part of a very different narrative.

The third installment of the one of the greatest movie trilogies of all time is also one of the darkest children’s films ever made.

Ron Howard's "Parenthood" came out in 1989 and starred a litany of stars. Though Steve Martin played the biggest role, Keanu Reeves, Martha Pimpton, Joaquin Phoenix, Dennis Dugan, Dianne Wiest and a host of other actors all take a turn in the family comedy-drama.
Almost two-and-a-half decades later, Snakkle tracked down the film's child stars and held a reunion dinner. The video below shows Alisan Porter, Jasen Fisher, Ivyann Schwan and Zachary Lavoy seeing each other for the first time in years, and includes some behind-the-scenes photos that offer new insight into what it was like to work with Steve Martin and Ron Howard.

Our friends at Snakkle got the child stars of the 1989 hit movie "Parenthood" reunited last week to reflect on their time on set more than 24 years ago.
The film, directed by Ron Howard, has had a lasting impact on actors Zachary La Voy (Justin Buckman), Ivyann Schwan (Patty Huffner), Jasen Fisher (Kevin Buckman), and Alisan Porter (Taylor Buckman).
"It's an insane cast of people. So when you're coming up as any type of performer and you've been in the presence of that greatness in your art, you can't help but be influenced by that," Porter tells Snakkle.
"We're lucky to have been able to work with those people at a young age when you're so impressionable."
The film featured an all-star cast including Steve Martin, Mary Steenburgen, Dianne Wiest, Keanu Reeves, Rick Moranis, and Joaquin Phoenix. It earned over $126 million at the box office and was nominated for three Golden Globes and two Academy Awards.
