What is the message in Hocus Pocus?

The main messages expressed are your never to old to believe in the impossible, and good always conquers evil. Though not the most unique messages, the film does a great job of portraying their theme to a younger audience. Personally, Hocus Pocus is my all time favorite Halloween movie.

Is Hocus Pocus about a virgin?

First and foremost, Hocus Pocus resists the patriarchy by being a PG-rated movie highly concerned with sex – in particular, the virginity of a male character. In order for the Sanderson sisters to be revived, the Black Flame Candle must be lit by a virgin. Max unabashedly owns up to this when he lights the candle.
