10 Things You Didn't Know About Hocus Pocus

7. Siblings Garry And Penny Marshall Played A Married Couple

One of the funniest scenes of Hocus Pocus (they are plenty to choose from) is when the witches encounter the bickering married couple. The Sanderson sisters believe the man is their master because he's dressed as a devil, whilst his wife is a bitter, chain-smoking woman glued to her TV.

Their brief cameo in the film is a hilarious two minutes, including the line "aren't you broads to old to be trick or treating?" as well as the final moment where the dog chases the sisters out the door.

The couple were actually played by siblings - Pretty Woman director Garry Marshall and his actress sister Penny Marshall. To everyone's relief, there was no real romance in their relationship, otherwise the scene would have been much more awkward.
