The little sister telling the big brother's crush that she likes her Halloween costume, but she didn't have the "yabos" to wear it like the crush.and that her big brother loves the crush's "yabos".Ģ. To list the moments I had to explain, fast forward, or sidestep with the kids:ġ. Revisiting this movie, I'm upset that I forgot just how many sexual references are in this that are absolutely not appropriate for a 5 & 7 year old. Again, some parents might be good with it where some of the references would go over a younger audience's head. There is just a lot for this to really be viewed much younger than 13. There is also a mild drug reference between the bullies and the main character. There is also a reference to Allison's (the teenage girl's) cleavage. There's also lots of cleavage present throughout the movie between one of the witch costumes and the mother's madonna costume. Additionally, when the sisters (witches) get on the bus, the bus driver hits on them and when they say they want children, it is implied that he could get all of them pregnant "after a few tries". Also, the boy is only 16, but it is almost implied that it is weird that he is still a virgin. While a younger audience might not understand the reference, it comes up enough to possibly be asked about it. Examples include the 16 year old brother snuggling a pillow and pretending it's his crush and numerous references to him being a "virgin". While the Halloween violence is minimal, there are numerous sexual innuendos in this movie that are shocking for a movie that seems to be aimed for kids. The issue is that the PG rating is too low for what the movie contains. This is a cute Halloween flick without too much gore. But it's important to note that all of the above is done in the playful, spooky spirit of Halloween. A tale is told about the devil, and there are various gross-out moments. Words including "damn" are used infrequently. Items that play key roles in the story are a book bound in human skin and a candle made from the fat of a hanged man. The body of an "unfaithful lover" rises from the grave. The main character is teased about being a virgin. There are a few mild sexual references, such as a high school boy hugging his pillow and murmuring, "Oh, Allison, you're so soft," as well as some frisky flirting from one of the witches. A couple of high school bullies harass a male classmate in a graveyard, asking him for "smokes" and "hash" and finally stealing his shoes. It involves a plot to suck the life force out of children one little girl dies that way. Parents need to know that Hocus Pocus has lasting Halloween appeal for kids (and adults). References to "hash" and "smokes," but none are smoked by the kids or adults.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Drinking, Drugs & Smoking in your kid's entertainment guide.
