About This Quiz

Released in 1993, Disney's "Hocus Pocus" has entertained generations of Halloween lovers. In fact, it's even converted a few non-believers. As you tell us about your favorite Halloween candies and treats during this quiz, you'll leave little clues about which Sanderson sister you are most like at heart.

As we fly on the broomstick of this quiz, we are going to cast a spell that makes your mouth water. We'll ask you about every kind of Halloween treat we can imagine. Once we feel like we have a good grasp of the treats you crave all year long, we will know if you are more like Mary, Winifred or Sarah Sanderson.

Because we are assuming that you do not have a taste for children, we've decided to stick to the sweet, sour and chewy candies you love the most. After we get to know your sweet tooth's favorite Halloween desires, we'll know if you are more cunning like Winifred or more curious like Sarah. Or maybe you are Mary?

Put on your pointy hat and fill up a bag with your favorites. Then, we'll reveal the Sanderson sister you are at heart. Which one does Halloween bring out in you?
