Hocus Pocus (PG) is a 1993 Walt Disney Pictures production.

The film centers around a trio of evil witches who are freed by a pair of teenagers in Salem, Massachusetts.

It stars Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy. It made $50.8 million at the box office.

In October 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Hocus Pocus was re-released in 2,570 theaters.

Midler, Parker, and Najimy also appeared in the sequel, Hocus Pocus 2, which was released in September of 2022 on Disney+.

The free showing of Hocus Pocus is Monday, October 21 at the State Theater on Phillips Avenue. Showtime is 7:00 PM.

This event is free, but registration is required and seating is first-come, first-served.

AARP reminds everyone that the event will be overbooked to ensure a full house. Due to no-shows, it is not likely that there will be more guests than seats, but it is a possibility.

Should the event be full, please note that AARP is not required to provide you with a ticket to a future show. You can arrive at the event early to select your seat. Doors open at 6:15 PM.

From Blockbusters to Hidden Gems: 35 Movies That Take Place in South Dakota

When it comes to South Dakota and Hollywood, we've seen our fair share of films that have used our state as the backdrop for a number of productions over the years. They may not have always filmed here, but movie folk love to set stories here.

We're all familiar with the blockbusters like 1990's Dances With Wolves, 1959's North By Northwest, and more recently, 2007's National Treasure: Book of Secrets. But our state's life on the big screen goes back nearly 100 years.

According to IMDb, it all started with Courtin' Wildcats, a 1929 film which, like so many of the 29 films on this list, is a Western set in the time before South Dakota became a state in 1889.

See Some of Sioux Falls' Beautiful Murals [PHOTOS]

I was in Canton, SD, and I happened upon a new mural.

It was really cool and that got me thinking that I know of a few murals in Sioux Falls, but I bet there's more than I realize. So, I put it out on social media for the people of Sioux Falls to tell me where all the murals are!

A few of them I had never seen, or never even been to that part of town, and a few of them, I drive by all the time and never noticed!

I know a few businesses have murals inside their establishments, but I decided to keep it to murals that are totally open for the public to see. No need to be 21!

So, here we go! Let's check out some of Sioux Falls' murals.

Did I miss one? Let me know!
