Q: What do the Sanderson Sisters’ colors represent in Hocus Pocus?
A: Winifred wears red, Mary wears green, and Sarah wears purple — a costume design choice that gives each sister a distinct visual identity, which the hosts examine for how accurately Mini LED displays render saturated hues.

Q: Why is The Trouble with Harry considered an autumn movie?
A: Alfred Hitchcock shot the 1955 film in Vermont during peak fall foliage, making its warm reds, oranges, and yellows a demanding test for any TV’s color gamut and grading.

Q: What is SQD Mini LED and how does it relate to Hocus Pocus?
A: SQD Mini LED is TCL’s quantum-dot-enhanced Mini LED display technology; this episode uses Hocus Pocus and The Trouble with Harry to evaluate its color rendering against fall and Halloween palettes.
