Current Events > Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy RETURN for HOCUS POCUS 2!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sarah Jessica Parker confirmed the great news that the Sanderson Sisters WILL be in the Hocus Pocus Sequel after Disney+ said it will be a direct sequel to the film rather than a remake!!

Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy also confirmed that they will fly again after celebrating the news on instagram

The 54 y/o couldn't resist telling the fans who have been waiting for a sequel to the classic halloween hit that has been a staple on Freeform every year and it was played over THIRTY TIMES this year!!

When one fan asked "any chance of a sequel?" Sarah responded with "Yes! We will now wait for instructions. just wait"

Collider reported last month that Workaholics writer producer, Jen D'Angelo is writing the script for Disney+ streaming services

No word if original director Kenny Ortega will return to direct as all the original cast members expressed disappointment 2 years ago that the film would be a remake rather than a sequel and refused to take part in it as Bette slammed the news and called it a shame that their legacy wouldn't continue.

The film is about a trio of witches who were killed in 1693 Salem, Massachusetts after killing a young girl while absorbing her youth. They cast a spell to be resurrected on Halloween when a virgin lights the candle to resume their soul sucking ways.

The movie was no box office hit earning just 39 million on a 28 million budget and released in a poorly timed July 1993..but since then it became a massive cult classic as the only Halloween Family film and has received a huge following where fans have begged Disney for a sequel after strong DVD and streaming sales.

It was first announced in 2017 that it would instead be a direct remake for Freeform but that never came to fruition and was going ot be scrapped until the news of a sequel came out.

Bette said she's been waiting forever for a return before she kicked the bucket and Disney finally granted her wish

Did you like Hocus Pocus?

Wait, Kathy Najimy? Wasn't she the voice of Peggy Hill?

To this day I still find it hilarious that the hottest Sarah Jessica Parker has ever looked was when she played a witch

Whoa, really? I saw a video that was put up on YouTube the other day about Hocus Pocus that said they wouldn't be returning (Bette Midler herself supposedly said there wasn't a number high enough to make her come back, money wise). This is neat news.

as the only Halloween Family film

Fucking bullshit, there's a ton of Halloween family films. Halloweentown in particular is almost as popular as Hocus Pocus.

I like Hocus Pocus. I've seen it twice in theaters.

But the first film really tied up all loose ends. I don't think a sequel could do it justice unless it was based around a different coven of witches and a new group of teens altogether.

most liked it!

I'm just going from what I heard, but it wouldn't surprise me if you're right.

She did say that though, Ill try and find it but it was from a few years ago. But this was when she wasnt involved in the project and said no amount of money would entice me to even make a cameo
