Description

Sean Murray, who played Thackery Binx in Hocus Pocus, revealed his traumatic experience of watching himself on screen for the first time. Despite the film's initial box office failure and Bette Midler's public criticism, Hocus Pocus has become a cult favorite, now being one of the few family-friendly Halloween movies. Murray also shared that Leonardo DiCaprio was almost cast as the main kid, Max Dennison, but turned it down for What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
