You Can Watch 'Hocus Pocus' For Free in a Cemetery This Weekend

By Kelly Bauer | September 23, 2015 1:37pm

CHICAGO — The witches of "Hocus Pocus" will put a spell on Chicago during a free movie showing this weekend.

Irving Park Cemetery, 7777 W. Irving Park Road, will host a free screening of "Hocus Pocus" 7:30-10:30 p.m. Saturday. The movie, a classic Halloween flick, features Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy as (sometimes inept) wiches who are resurrected in Salem, Massachusetts.

The gates open at 6:30 p.m., and you'll probably want to get there early — more than 1,200 people have said they plan to attend on the event's Facebook page.

No word on whether or not we can expect a cameo for Thackery Binx.
