A Hocus Pocus Halloween

Wow! It’s been over a year since I posted here, and this post is a bit delayed. However, I put a lot of time and effort into decorating for Halloween this year. So, I thought this might serve as inspiration for someone else in the future.

I’ve always loved the movie Hocus Pocus, and if I’m being honest I watch it at all times of the year. This year I knew I really wanted to dive into a theme for my front door, and I landed on transforming the space into something fit for the Sanderson sisters.


Do you remember the scene when Billy’s hand gets trapped in the man hole cover? The fingers were also made with Model Magic and acrylic paint. I also used artificial nails and painted them black. Let me know what you think. Hope you had a happy Halloween!
