History Recap / FilmRerollHocusPocus

* StockholmSyndrome: All of the victims-turned-cats develop this toward the sisters. It might help that TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody is in effect.

* ActorAllusion: Variation: Because of Morgan le Fay [[Recap/FilmRerollTeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze failing a roll to control her bad temper]], she winds up [[Recap/FilmRerollHomewardBoundTheIncredibleJourney sending a cat into a river]].

* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: Variation: After Winifred explains to Morgan her and her sisters' plan of putting on a musical as a means of being a mass ritual, with the implicit goal of getting her on board, Morgan all but flips her shit:
-->'''Morgan le Fay''': [[TranquilFury Okay,]] I want to take a j- just a ''quick'' moment... I want ''you'', darling, to listen to what you just said... then I want you to ask yourself... [[DidNotThinkThisThrough did you think any part of that would make me feel better in any way?]] Because you really pitched that like I was gonna love it, but I think you'll find that the needle moved ''[[RageBreakingPoint slightly]]'' [[RageBreakingPoint in the other direction, in fact...]]

** It then gets compounded later on when Winifred, upon being insulted, starts generating lightning between her fingers... whereupon the Spinster abandons all pretense and shows her cards onto the table:

Episode 125 - 127 of Podcast/FilmReroll. Based on [[Film/HocusPocus the 1993 fantasy comedy.]]

* MeaningfulReleaseDate: Made to celebrate the release of Film/HocusPocus2, which would premiere a few weeks later.
* MistakenForCheating: The Baker’s wife is furious when she sees her husband [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything baking bread with Winifred]] (who, in fairness, may in fact have been planning to take things further.) She comes at her with a rolling pin, but a subtle freezing spell makes her run back out to get her coat, convinced that there must be a draft.

* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: Stealing the life force of several children at once has the effect of basically making the sisters high, which prevents them from noticing the four peasants who have smycken into their house in an attempt at taking them down.

* WhamLine: The Spinster's first appearance midway through Part 3... more specifically, [[SuddenlyVoiced the fact that]] ''[[UncreditedRole Kara Strait]]'' [[SuddenlyVoiced is the one talking]].

* BookEnds: Part 1 had Paulo be given an UncreditedRole, [[DeletedRole only for the players to unintentionally delete his role from the plot]]. Part 3 sees the characters encounter The Spinster, who turns out to have been the UncreditedRole of Kara Strait.

-->'''The Spinster''': [[Myth/ArthurianLegend Morgan le Fay]] is not intimidated by a twitch of the eye or a spark of the fingers!

Episode 125- of Podcast/FilmReroll. Based on [[Film/HocusPocus the 1993 fantasy comedy.]]

Starring Lisa Kopitsky as Winifred Sanderson, Courtney Alana Ward as Mary Sanderson, Carolyn Faye Kramer as Sarah Sanderson, Paulo Quiros as Billy Butcherson[[note]] Credited despite being a DeletedRole. Paulo Quiros only appears out-of-character in the first part. [[/note]] and Bethany Bishop, and Jocelyn “Joz” Vammer as the Dungeon Master.

** On a meta level, her being played by Kara Strait is also a surprise, as she is [[UncreditedRole not credited]] or otherwise introduced before her actual in-story appearance.

* VaguenessIsComing: Morgan le Fay vaguely tells the other witches that war is brewing. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] on a meta level in that DM Joz Vammer makes it pretty clear that she’s talking about [[UsefulNotes/TheSevenYearsWar The French and Indian War]].

* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Sister]]: Bethany cursed the names of the men who killed her sister, saying that they shall recieve a painful death. It’s unclear if this is just a promise of vengeance or an attempt at ''literally'' cursing them.

* GreatWhiteHunter: Jacques Fox, which makes his OddFriendship with FriendOfAllAnimals Bethany Bishop somewhat tumultuous.
* GrumpyOldWoman: The Spinster finds the Sanderson sisters to be obnoxious upon meeting them, not helped by the revelation that the loud noise they heard was an alarm set off by their spellcasting, which threatened to cause a BrokenMasquerade.

* AccidentalInnuendo: [[invoked]] Bethany wants to make it clear that she’s ''not'' boning the Baker, she just stole his daughter’s life force.

* EveryoneHasStandards: It’s mentioned that there are some witches who practise dark magic even the Sanderson sisters wouldn’t touch.

* TheReveal: The true identity of the Spinster, which she reveals to the Sanderson sisters in an angry rant.
