Hocus Pocus (soundtrack)

The film did not have a soundtrack album available to the public until Intrada Records released their special complete edition in late 2013.

As a result of the score being cut from its original running time of over 60 minutes down to 43 minutes in Debney's promo, as well as all the music from the prologue sequence being removed, many bootleg recordings of the score were leaked online, most containing all the music from the film in addition to never-before-heard alternates, some of which did not appear on the official release.

Prior to the production of the film, Horner wrote a two-minute theme for Sarah (commonly known as "Come Little Children"), which ended up being used in the film, and featured in Intrada's edition of the score (officially titled "Sarah's Theme").

[1][2] The song "Almost Unreal" by Roxette was written for the film, hence the lyric "I love when you do that hocus pocus to me".

"Almost Unreal" ended up being used for the film adaptation of the Nintendo game series Super Mario Bros., which was released two months prior.
