The first Hocus Pocus POPVinyl trio that Funko created for Spirit Halloween Stores in 2018 is still my favorite. I just love seeing the Sanderson sisters with their makeshift brooms.

Disney's Not So Spooky Spectacular

Disney's Not So Spooky Spectacular at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is one of my favorite fireworks displays. It's colorful, and magical, and a tiny bit spooky, and completely over the top. I can't wait to see it again!

Hocus Pocus Fun From ShopDisney

A few bewitching Hocus Pocus collectibles have magically appeared at shopDisney. They are delightfully adorable and are sure to please Hocus Pocus fans.

First up is a charming ornament featuring Mary, Winifred, and Sarah Sanderson, and a tiny Binx the cat. When you press a button on the base, the green flames in the cauldron light up and spooky sounds can be heard. The 4-inch ornament is $26.99.

These mystery pins are fabulously spooky and feature ten different designs including the Sanderson sisters and Billy Butcherson, as well as the transformation spell the witches used on young Thackery Binx. The pins are $17.99 a box, but, as these are a blind box, you won't know which two you get until you open the box.

This spinning pin features Sarah, Winifred, and Mary Sanderson in front of a background that spins and says Amuck, Amuck, Amuck. The pin is $17.99 and is a limited release.

The Sanderson sisters are unexpectedly adorable as plush dolls. The trio of 7-inch dolls come complete with their own cauldron, and they look ready to cast a spell or perhaps brew up a bit of Life Potion. The dolls are available as a set for $39.99.

It looks like this plush Binx has borrowed Dani's hat for Halloween. The 15-inch toy also has a collar with his name emblazoned on a coffin shaped tag. This enchanting feline is $22.99.

And finally, this color-changing ceramic cauldron mug and spoon are perfect for a witches brew. The 18-oz mug changes from solid black on the outside to green drips running down the sides when hot liquid is added. The cup has the Hocus Pocus logo on one side and says "Trouble is brewing" on the other. The mug and spoon are $24.99.

Stories From The Legendarium Featurette

Amazon

Here's a little behind-the-scenes look at the making of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. I've always loved Tolkien’s stories, and this one really does look incredible. 

Here's the official synopsis from Amazon: 

Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth's history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power arrives on Amazon Prime Video on September 2.
