Remember The Moths Billy Had In His Mouth In Hocus Pocus? They Were Real

The moths that flew out of Billy Butcherson’s mouth in Hocus Pocus were real insects, not CGI. The 1993 Halloween classic used a variety of special effects to create the Sanderson sisters’ spells, including a flying rig for their broomsticks and animatronic cats to play the transformed Thackery Binx. Many effects were also used for the zombie character Billy Butcherson, but viewers will be surprised to learn how one particular visual was achieved.
