Hocus Pocus has become a cult classic since its release in 1993. New generations of fans have discovered a love of the Sanderson Sisters and its popularity only seems to grow more and more each year. Thankfully, Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy are back for more in Hocus Pocus 2. It’s Present Day Salem and the town is as mad for Halloween as it always has been. The legend of the Sanderson Sisters is still discussed although they haven’t been seen in 29 years. Becca, Izzy, and Cassie are three high school friends who are facing a bit of a rough patch thanks to Cassie’s current boyfriend. Becca and Izzy head out into the woods for a little séance after picking up some supplies from the Magic Shoppe that’s now run by Sam Richardson’s character, Gilbert the Great. You may remember this shop from the first movie, and Gilbert claims to be the Sandersons’ biggest fan. The girls light a candle only to realize it’s the Black Flame Candle and they’ve conjured up Winifred, Mary, and Sarah who are back to feast on the children of Salem. Streaming on Disney+
