Special guest Aaron Wallace, author of “Hocus Pocus In Focus: The Thinking Fan’s Guide To Disney’s Halloween Classic,” joins us for a deeeeeeep dive into Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular! There’s a lot more to this castle show than meets the eye, and we explore it all:

• How Disney blacklisted Hocus Pocus for years

• Virginity as a theme in a Magic Kingdom stage show

• The show’s connection to Dream Along with Mickey

• The rise in popularity of villains and Disney’s failed attempts from history to spotlight them

• Thackery Binx ripping a new one to Jiminy Cricket
