Say ah, in the pie, maybe the alpha, Upendi! Translated succinctly, it means: Fall has arrived, and that means it’s time to revisit your “Hocus Pocus”—er, maybe look again. There are plenty of opportunities for you to see Disney’s Halloween classic this year, especially before (or after—we’re not judging which order you choose) you can watch “Hocus Pocus 2” on Disney+.
