Hocus Pocus Latin Focused

It's spooky season time, and whats not spooky but Latin. I don't know why but people seem to think that Latin is the best way to make things look old ancient and scary. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, so I enjoy all of the movies and other entertainment around Halloween. For example in a show that I had watched there had been a Roman formation in fighting called the turtle (testudo). And especially with witches, Latin is used. For example, in the new tv series, The chilling adventures of Sabrina, Latin is used to cast spells, and to put protection on people and things. For example, the phrase aperi ianuam is used by Sabrina to open a door, Which is fitting because aperi ianuam means: open the door.
