ROP? |
Wait, are we talking about this movie?

There's absolutely a house in that one.

I agree with MITH:
Monster - The three witches.
House - Salem, the witches' past and present stomping ground.
Sin - Ignorance. Max foolishly lights the black candle that resurrects the witches.
The "house" is city-sized to give the witches plenty of villagers to abuse, and to provide fish-out-of-water comedy as they discover the modern world. Confining them to their own centuries-old house wouldn't have supported this.

Yeah, just because there is a MITH doesn't mean he can't break lose and go on a rampage outside. Isn't that a key ingredient to a lot of films where the hero appears to have made an escape to safety only to find that the monster is still chasing him?

| Admittedly, I haven't seen the movie, but I've read the synopsis. Could it be OOTB? I mean, it is called Hocus Pocus.
