History TearJerker / HocusPocus

-->'''Dani''': [[BigShutUp Shut up!]] I hate you. You've ruined everything. You ruined Halloween and it was my favorite holiday except Christmas and my birthday,

*** Emily and Thackery's parents losing both of their children in one day. What's worse is that they presumably never found out what happened to their son and probably thought the worst happened, given the witches' tendencies. It's highlighted when Mr. Binx screams at the witches with tears in his eyes, "I ask you one last time. What has thou done with my son Thackery! ANSWER ME!"

*** In RealLife, the Salem Witch Trials saw to it that several women (all of whom were ''not'' real witches) were hanged in the gallows for crimes they did not commit as opposed to the Sanderson Sisters who really deserved it, making it the most horrific MiscarriageOfJustice in American history.

* [[spoiler: Binx's death...*sniff*]]
** And that sad little "meow" he lets out just before [[spoiler: he dies]]. Heart-wrenching even for people who hate cats. It could almost be like he's saying, "Finally... It's over...".
** [[FreezeFrameBonus Pause the movie during that scene]]. The grave he's on as [[spoiler:he dies? It's ''Emily's''. He dies on his younger sister's grave]].
** Basically, ''anything'' with Binx, such as his first appearance, when he bravely tries to save his sister in vain. He wakes up, realizes she's missing, and fears the worst when his neighbor Elijah points out the fire from the witch's cottage. Thackery tells Elijah to get help while he strides to the cottage to rescue his sister. He fails, badly, and is ForcedToWatch the witches suck out of Emily's life while the latter is hypnotized. On facing the same fate, he tries to go DefiantToTheEnd and calls Winifred a hag. So in revenge, the witches painfully turn him into an immortal cat. Only then do the witch hunters arrive, when it's too late to save either Emily or Thackery.

* The way Thackery softly says "Home" when Max and Dani take him to their home. It paints a rather sobering picture of centuries Thackery existed without a home or a family. His mission to guard the black-flame candle kept him from making the most of his immortal life.
* Max's apology in the graveyard when Binx and Dani call him out for lighting the witches' candle and bringing them back to life. He's regretting that his attempt to impress Allison became GoneHorriblyWrong, and endangered his little sister.
* Also Max's HeroicBSOD when [[spoiler:Allison's attempt to make Binx human again ends up leading the resurrected witches to them, who then recover the book, trash his house, and kidnap Dani as well as Binx.]] Even worse is Max reminded Allison of Binx's warning against opening the book. He asks despairingly, "But how can we make the sun come up early?"
* Dani's BigNo when [[spoiler:Max drinks the life potion meant for her, and forces the witches to take his life instead. Fortunately, Max is too stubborn to go down meekly.]]
* Dani's reaction when they find [[spoiler:Binx's body. This is after she wished Billy a good rest in his grave. Dani sees Binx lying prone, and Allison gently tells her that Binx is dead. Dani says tearfully, "He can't die, remember? [[PleaseWakeUp Binx? BINX]]!"]]
* A small one, but this exchange between Binx and Max after they [[spoiler: seemingly killed the Sanderson sisters by luring them into a giant oven]].

* A ''very'' small one, but when 'Satan's' wife comes down the stairs, proudly telling him that she lost five pounds, she sees him dancing very intimately with the beautiful Sarah. Fortunately, she quickly gets her revenge by setting her dog on the sisters.
* Thackery [[spoiler: is finally freed from his curse and can reunite with his younger sister in Heaven. However, Dani is saddened that she'll never see Thackery again, to which the latter whispers in Dani's ear that [[AlwaysWithYou he will always be with her]].]]
** Also counts as a happy TearJerker.

** [[FreezeFrameBonus Pause the movie during that scene]]. The grave he's on as [[spoiler:he dies? It belongs to ''Emily Binx''. He dies on his younger sister's grave]].

'''Binx:''' I've wanted to do that for 300 years... since they took Emily.\\
