Hocus Pocus flopped upon release, and critics everywhere scoffed at this oddball comedy about three wacky witches back from the dead. But then something changed. Far from the forgotten relic it was destined to become, Hocus Pocus has taken its place alongside The Wizard of Oz, Harry Potter, and Home Alone--a bona fide classic that's sure to stay alive for generations to come."--Back cover.

The Herdmans plus Halloween have always spelled disaster. Every year these six kids -- the worst in the history of Woodrow Wilson School, and possibly even the world -- wreak havoc on the whole town.

The Herdmans manage to turn the worst Halloween ever into the best Halloween ever in this uproarious sequel to The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.
