HOCUS POCUS
https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pe.c/11688978
Starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker & Kathy Najimy
A teenage boy named Max and his little sister move to Salem, where he struggles to fit in before awakening a trio of diabolical witches that were executed in the 17th century.
Hocus Pocus was filmed over the course of five months in Salem, Massachusetts and numerous other locations. Filming started on October 12, 1992, and finished on February 10, 1993.
During a 20th anniversary screening of this film, Doug Jones revealed the moths that come out of his mouth at the end are real, not CGI. In a 2018 interview with Bloody Disgusting, makeup and special-effects designer Tony Gardner said that the actor wore a “mouth rig” a latex pocket attached to dentures that blocked off Jones’ throat to make the moths come out “There was a small hole in the very back of the pocket so that Doug could cough some air through it … An animal wrangler would place several moths in the pocket with tweezers, Then the stitches would be glued shut, and we’d run out of frame so that they could get to the shot as fast as possible,” Gardner said.
Sarah Jessica Parker has said that she found being in the flying broom harness so comfortable that, instead of being lowered back to the ground during the extended downtime between certain takes, she would stash a copy of The New York Times on her person to read while remaining suspended in the air.
