Before the clock strikes midnight tonight and the Halloween shenanigans commence, we're heading to Salem, Massachusetts and shouting out a spooky classic starring many Hollywood greats: The 1993 family/comedy film, "Hocus Pocus!"

The Sanderson Sisters -- played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy -- were 3 witches resurrected from the 1600s after the Black Flame Candle was lit by high schooler, Max Dennison (played by Omri Katz).

The town's kids were in danger of being sucked by the Sanderson Sisters' life potion. Max, along with his younger sister Dani (played by Thora Birch) and his high school crush Allison (played by Vinessa Shaw), were on a mission to stop the Sanderson Sisters at last!

President Joe Biden voiced strong condemnation Tuesday over former President Donald Trump's supporters namely comedian Tony Hinchcliffe who recently made a controversial "joke" that Puerto Rico was a "floating island of garbage."

In a video Tuesday, Biden said, "Donald Trump has no character. He doesn't give a damn about the Latino community … just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage? … The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters."

A White House spokesman later claimed to NBC News correspondent Gabe Gutierrez that Biden was only referring to Hinchcliffe and not Trump's supporters as a whole.

Hazel-E feared the worst when Ray J was on the verge of an all out brawl with Diddy's sons at a Halloween party ... telling us she thought it might end in a hail of bullets.

We got the 'L&HH' star in Calabasas on Tuesday and asked her about the altercation between Christian, Quincy and Justin, and Ray J.

Hazel-E says it all happened when she, Ray, Amber Rose and manager David Weintraub were trying to leave the function ... claiming Diddy's sons started circling Ray and chirping him.

Sharon Osbourne says Erik and Lyle Menendez are right where they deserve to be ... in prison.

We got Sharon and her son Jack Osbourne on Tuesday in Larchmont Village and our photog asked them if they thought the Menendez brothers deserve to be set free after spending nearly 35 years behind bars.

Sharon and Jack say the brothers should remain in lockup ... pointing out they shot their parents to death with shotguns ... and they don't think the molestation allegations against Jose Menendez should be enough to spring Erik and Lyle.

True crime fans have a chance to buy one of Los Angeles' most infamous properties ... the Los Feliz Murder Mansion has officially hit the market.

For those unfamiliar with the macabre estate, the 1920s Spanish Revival -- with 5 bedrooms, 7 baths, and over 9,000 square feet of living space -- sits in the heart of the Hollywood-adjacent neighborhood of Los Feliz ... and has brought in a number of murder-obsessed onlookers over the years.

The grand mansion -- now on the market for $3.649M -- has quite the history thanks to the number of notable deaths tied to the home. First built in 1925 for Harold and Florence Schumacher ... the couple famously passed away within weeks of each other 3 years after purchasing the home.

8:50 PM PT -- According to Metro Boomin's (real name Leland Wayne) lawyer Lawrence Hinkle II of Sanders Roberts LLP tells TMZ ... “This is a pure shakedown. These are false accusations. Mr. Wayne refused to pay her months ago, and he refuses to pay her now. Mr. Wayne will defend himself in court. He will file a claim for malicious prosecution once he prevails.”

Metro Boomin is facing a new lawsuit from a woman who claims she knew and trusted the Grammy-winning super producer -- before he allegedly raped her in 2016.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained docs filed today by a woman named Vanessa LeMaistre, who claims she was suffering from depression after the death of her 9-month-old son at the time, but hit it off with Metro during a getaway trip to Vegas in the spring of that year.

Vanessa claims Metro invited her to his studio to hang back in Los Angeles, where she says she observed Metro abusing codeine, even against the warnings of his friends.

Horror movie fans are in for a treat this Halloween ... killer memorabilia from a number of scary classics is set to be auctioned this fall.

We're talking Kurt Russell's character's hat from 1982s "The Thing" ... to a Ghost Face mask autographed by "Scream" star Henry Winkler himself. There's also James Cameron's heavily annotated "Aliens" shooting script -- worth tens of thousands of dollars -- up for grabs, too.

Tom Brady seems to be responding to news that his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen is having a baby with her jiu-jitsu trainer ... with a cryptic Instagram post that's causing a raging debate at TMZ.

Gisele's pregnancy was revealed Monday and Tom has since posted on his IG story ... using heart emojis and a famous Fleetwood Mac song to seemingly share his feelings on the development.

But check out the clip from "TMZ Live" ... Harvey and Charles aren't sold on this being Tom's response ... even though some folks in the office are convinced this is Tom being in his feelings.

The lyrics Tom went with are interesting ..."Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?"

Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz will NOT be walking down the aisle ... they are throwing in the towel on their relationship ... and calling off their engagement.

The actors are splitting after 3 years together ... TMZ has confirmed.

Channing and Zoë got engaged last year, but Zoë had been spotted in public recently without her engagement ring ... though it's unclear when, or why, they broke up.

Here's the first visual of Kanye West's recent big-ticket purchase in Beverly Hills ... and his $35 million mansion looks pretty lavish ... at least from a bird's eye view.

Check out this aerial footage from above Kanye's new digs in Beverly Park North, a gated community in Bev Hills chock full of celebs.

TMZ broke the story ... Ye scooped up the place in an off-market deal, using the same LLC he used to sell his gutted home in Malibu.

Sam Pounds, who collaborated with Liam Payne on the singer's final single, has decided not to release the track ... days after announcing his plans to do so.

The musician, who is known for producing music for Jamie Foxx and Wiz Khalifa, posted on X his new plan regarding the unreleased single, titled "Do No Wrong" ... noting he'd like the late One Direction star's family to make the decision when or if the tune sees the light of day.

He wrote ... "Today I’m deciding to hold 'Do No Wrong' and leave those liberties up to all family members. I want all proceeds go to a charity of their choosing (or however they desire)."

4:08 PM PT -- Detroit PD tells TMZ Sports ... "This investigation continues to evolve, and new information has come to light that we are actively addressing."

"We take every investigation seriously, especially when new allegations and facts emerge, and we are committed to acting in a swift and transparent manner."

The statement continued ... "Once new facts are confirmed, we make the necessary changes in our decision-making process."

"Let it be clear: no one in the City of Detroit is above the law. Anyone who commits a crime will be held accountable, regardless of their position or status."

Detroit Lions receiver Jameson Williams narrowly escaped being arrested for carrying a concealed weapon earlier this month ... and police are now investigating why he was let off the hook.

23-year-old Williams was riding around Detroit with his brother after midnight on Oct. 8 ... when the vehicle was pulled over for a traffic violation.

During the stop, Williams' brother told cops there were two guns in the vehicle ... and one was located under the NFLer's passenger seat.

Erik and Lyle Menendez are gunning to be released from prison before Thanksgiving and their legal team has a new strategy for freeing the brothers ... seeking clemency from California's governor.

Mark Geragos, the attorney repping the Menendez brothers, joined us Tuesday on "TMZ Live" and told us he's filing documents today asking Gavin Newsom for clemency.

That's pretty significant on its own, and sources connected to the Governor's office tell us they have the clemency petition on their radar ... which is pretty interesting, considering Newsom talked about the Menendez brothers in a recent podcast.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy is laying down some relationship ground rules using Artem Chigvintsev and Nikki Bella as examples, serving up a little wisdom on healthy boundaries.

We got the pro dancer leaving his Tetya Kapa Vodka launch party in Beverly Hills -- and with Artem recently cleared in his domestic violence case, Maksim's glad he stuck to his guns on "The TMZ Podcast," where he had said he'd reserve judgment until the case wrapped -- and now, it looks like that was the right call.

But, Maksim didn’t hold back on the bitterness between Artem and Nikki ... saying people need to learn to let go before it’s too late.
