T.—the outer space visitor who has been crashing in his closet—as a bedsheet ghost to sneak him out of the house for the night.

The plot device makes for some delightful scenes, like when E. T. tries to heal the fake knife wound on Elliott's brother's head, or when he bumps into a kid dressed as Yoda and confuses him for a fellow alien.

JR1. 1. HOCUS POCUS (1.
