Hocus Pocus: The Illustrated Novelization

Product Information

Max Dennison has moved from LA to Salem, and he just doesn’t believe in the parts of Salem’s history that revolves around witches. I really loved this illustrated take on a classic; it was the perfect shot of nostalgia to prepare for Halloween! This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees.

I am just a little disappointed because I was hoping the written version would emphasize more of a dark atmosphere kind of thing, and maybe make some changes or add something to the plot.The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. It just isn't anything new or improved, and I don't think that reading it added any value to my day!

Reading this novel was like reliving Hocus Pocus all over again, but in book format and with gorgeous illustrations.

Only Gris Grimly's name appears on the cover, but the inside pages reveal that Hocus Pocus is written by someone named A.

They remained true to the movie while also finding ways to expand upon that and provide more detail and storytelling than perhaps we would’ve gotten from the movie alone. It was fun to fill in the little holes of the character emotions and movement of the story with the author's words as the story progresses. There are a few charming moments but overall I wouldn’t say it’s brimming with the magic or charm of a great story. Bonus points if you play atmospheric spooky music in the background while you read to enhance the vibe!The dust jacket features an illustration by Grimly, but when you take this off, you see that the covers of the book are in a lovely red colour with a design in black, making it look like an older book.
