For the First Time Ever, You Can Watch ‘Hocus Pocus’ in 4K Ultra HD Through Disney+!
Halloween may be over, but Disney has brought us a pretty awesome treat today.
Earlier this morning we presented a list of the spookiest content you can find on Disney+, and of course, 1993’s family-friendly Halloween classic Hocus Pocus was on the list. But what we didn’t quite realize at the time is that Hocus Pocus is being presented in 4K Ultra HD on the brand new streaming service, the first time it has *ever* been released in the 4K format!
Hocus Pocus joins the first seven Star Wars movies, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Toy Story 1-3 on the list of films that are available for the first time in 4K UHD through Disney+.
On a related note, Disney+ is also developing a sequel to Hocus Pocus, and there’s a good chance Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy will all be back.
The best way to show Disney that you’re hungry for the return of the Sanderson sisters? Well, streaming Hocus Pocus through Disney+ is a pretty good place to start!

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
