A Texan mother has taken to social media to warn other parents about Hocus Pocus 2 as she fears the movie may be responsible for actually bewitching kids.
Mum-of-three Jamie Gooch appeared on local news network KWTX to explain how she believes the Halloween flick can impact the innocent minds of your wee bairns.

"A worst case scenario is: you unleash hell on your kids and in your home," she said. "The whole movie is based on witches harvesting children for blood sacrifices."
Gooch has spoken out after her social media post on the topic went viral, with the Troy mother thinking the film could cast an actual magic spell on audiences.
"Do not watch this film,” she warned in the now-deleted Facebook post.
"Everybody thinks it’s fake and innocent, but they could be casting any type of spell that they want to, anything could be coming through that TV screen into your home."

Yeah. That is a legitimate opinion from a Texas mother and not someone making a weird joke.
Gooch revealed she was nervous when she posted her controversial opinion and feared backlash.
"I was a little bit scared when I hit post because I was afraid of the reaction that I would get...the post was for people who’ve been on the fence on the decisions they need to make for their family," she told KWTX.

Although she has focused on Hocus Pocus 2, the Texan woman revealed her warning actually spans much wider as the US delves deeper into the spooky season.
"I think it goes further than just a movie, it goes further than Halloween, it’s a year-round thing, we constantly need to be cautious of what we’re consuming, what we’re bringing in and what we’re sending out," she said.
"I believe whatever comes in our TV screens: there are things attached to that, I’ve seen for myself the things that I’ve watched with my eyes or heard over a TV screen, they’ve become manifested in real life, and then I think ‘oh my gosh, what did I consume?'"
The mum-of-three admits some have labelled her 'crazy' in the wake of her post on social media, but overall she claims feedback has been 'positive'.
