Stuck at home this Halloween?? Fear not, Pat and Marissa have a treat for you. Tune in to Movie Mixology's first-ever Halloween Special featuring special guests, Maeve Norton and the Sanderson Sisters!!! For this spooky special, the trio drink an original concoction inspired by the witches' Life Potion from 1993's Hocus Pocus. The crew discusses the demise of originality, the horror of a lame protagonist, and the movie's eerie similarities to other 90's classics.
