Movie Nite on The Strand: "Hocus Pocus"

Grab your chairs, blankets and pillows, and head downtown Galveston for a free family-friendly movie under the stars. Held the first Saturday of each month March thru October, films begin at dusk at Saengerfest Park, located at the corner of 23rd and Strand streets. On Sat., Oct. 6, watch the family classic film Hocus Pocus.

After moving to Salem, Mass., teenager Max Dennison (Omri Katz) explores an abandoned house with his sister Dani (Thora Birch) and their new friend, Allison (Vinessa Shaw). After dismissing a story Allison tells as superstitious, Max accidentally frees a coven of evil witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy) who used to live in the house. Now, with the help of a magical cat, the kids must steal the witches' book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal.
