Hocus Pocus: The Illustrated Novelization

Product Information

And there were definitely some moments that I would’ve wanted illustrations of but didn’t get, yet other illustrations in the book that either felt repetitive or that I wasn’t crazy about.

There are a few charming moments but overall I wouldn’t say it’s brimming with the magic or charm of a great story.At several points, an editor could have been utilized to clean up portions that were poorly conveyed — things that were written to capture an image from the film (leading to confusion or redundancy in the writing) or oddly placed breaks that only make sense as scene changes on screen (but not so much on paper). With dozens of original illustrations throughout, this Novelization is sure to become an automatic must-have among collectors and avid fans of the film. The resurrected witches will stop at nothing to consume the lives of children to make themselves young. Nothing new added to make the reading experience more interesting, but it still was an enjoyable read.

Max, Dani and Allison (and the black cat, which of course turns out to be the immortal Thackery Bix) escape from the cottage when Max cleverly uses his lighter to set off the sprinkler system. Es como si hubieran copiado el guión de Hocus Pocus y le hubieran dado una forma de prosa, más literario.The story really doesn’t age well, but I’m giving it 4 stars because I absolutely LOVE the illustrations by Gris Grimly.

For almost twenty years, his distinctive style and wide selection of mediums have captivated a variety of loyal fans worldwide. Outside of the publishing world, he has contributed his unique vision to film, animation, apparel design, and consumer products.

I think most of that judgement came from the sequel and after watching the movie sequel, I think my judgment is a little less harsh. Although I am not a raving fan of the film, Hocus Pocus (that accolade would have to go to Labyrinth), when I saw this illustrated version by Gris Grimly, I thought it would be the perfect read leading up to Halloween.
