There are a few movies that come to mind. Hocus Pocus is one of them.
Here is a video to celebrate the season.
Fantasies Ghost "The song 'Come Little Children' from Hocus Pocus was created using the first verse of the Poem 'Come Little Children' by Edgar Allen Poe."

Come little children,
I'll take thee away,
into a land of Enchantment.
Come little children,
The time's come to play,
Here in my garden of Shadows.

Today is National Go Barefoot Day!
Why can't every day be a barefoot day? I love to go barefooted as often as possible. I love to feel dirt, grass or sand between my toes! Today is a good day to go barefooted and a good day to show your support for charities like Soles4Souls, a global not-for-profit institution that collects new or used shoes and clothes for people in need. They also help to create jobs in poor and disadvantaged communities.
Let's Celebrate today with dancing to BAREFOOTIN! Who doesn't love to dance to this music by Robert Parker (Video by Ardman Animation)
Want to make every day Go Barefoot Day?
National Go Barefoot Day shares this day with National Running Day. Do you run?
And here's another special day that deserves attention today! National Trails Day is the first Saturday in June.
Everyday is a great day to celebrate.

Celebrate National Senior Health & Fitness Day

Here's a tip! Try singing and chanting for your health!
Singing, laughing and chanting make the sternum (the breast bone) vibrate which stimulates the immune system as the oscillations boost the Thymus, a small gland in the chest behind the sternum which controls the production of the body’s key defense cells called T lymphocytes. When you sing or shout, pray or chant, or listen to music, whether it be recorded or played live by many musicians, the Thymus is stimulated.
Unfortunately, the thymus becomes smaller and smaller with age and almost disappears in old age. Some researchers believe that different infections and cancers in old people are closely linked to the decline in T lymphocyte production. So stimulating the thymus in some way either through laughing, chanting or singing can be helpful in maintaining or improving health as we age.
Vibrations in the throat also stimulate the thyroid, the gland which produces hormones that regulate metabolism which affects the body’s energy consumption and body weight.
