Spooky season is in full swing! Joining me today in the coven is none other than Shannon Carlin! Shannon is the author of Witches Run Amok: The Oral History of Disney's Hocus Pocus. The book not only uncovers fresh knowledge on the film's production but also serves to answer a question audiences have had since the film's release: how did it achieve mainstream success when it pushed social boundaries surrounding witches?
Shannon tells us as much as she can in this spectacularly spooky LIVE episode! She highlighted some of her interviews with the cast and production crew, as well as how progressive beliefs influenced the film's success.
