* At the end of the first episode, you can grab a Rapid Fire potion and blow away the remaining Mad Monks almost effortlessly.
* As intimidating as the [[DroughtLevelOfDoom levels without healing potions]] in Episode 4 are, you can pull off a NoDamageRun and prove you don't need them.
* Hocus goes from being laughed at as having no hope of being on the council to actually defeating and killing an evil former council member. Even Terexin has to admit that Hocus has proven himself.

* While it may not have been smart, Dani insulting Jay and Ice when they try to extort candy from her, it's pretty cool that she's unimpressed and unafraid of them. Max had wanted to avoid them all together, but when Dani mentions he's with he, with confidence that they won't be able to do anything because of it, he looks like he'd rather be anywhere, but then takes off his sunglasses and joins her. Ultimately he's able to defuse the situation enough that he and Dani leave unscathed (giving the bullies his own bag of candy).

No meta moment, see this query.


* On a Meta level: the movie failed both financially and critically due to Disney not knowing how to market the film. Nowadays it is considered a Halloween classic right up there with the greats. Even Disney eventually came to acknowledge it as a classic: not only did they celebrate its anniversary with a special live show at the Ride/DisneyThemeParks on Halloween, they ultimately greenlit a ''{{sequel}}'' more than 20 years after the original.

Spoilers shouldn't be marked on Awesome subpages.


* Sure, it doesn't finish them off, but [[spoiler: luring the witches into a giant oven to burn them]] was a pretty good plan on Allison's part.

** Another moment during the fight. When Winifred grabs Dani, Binx leaps onto Winifred’s shoulder and attacks her, forcing her to let go of Dani. Even before they officially met, Binx was already protecting Dani from the witches.
