A small corner of the internet exploded when the news that a new Hocus Pocus was in the works. 29 years after the original, the hags would be returning to cause more mischief in Salem and just in time for Halloween too. Fans who’ve been on tenterhooks ever since, rest easy: the banshees are more brilliantly bonkers than ever in this rollicking sequel.
Becca (Whitney Peak) and Izzy (Belissa Escobedo) are two high school friends who love the occult, and traditionally spend Becca’s birthday in a glade in a spooky wood casting spells. But this year is different: when the two awkward teens light a magic candle, it works, and they accidentally bring the (now infamous) Sanderson sisters back to life. Lightning flashes, gowns twirl, Bette Midler screeches, a shadow falls upon the wood and the chaos commences.
