"Hocus Pocus 2" is crash-landing on Disney+ on September 30 and it already has an advantage over the original which came out in theaters during the — blech — summer of 1993. Witchy content, even of the comedic variety, just hits harder in the fall.
Over the decades, the original "Hocus Pocus" has made its way to cult status slowly, like a witch on an unsteady broom, thanks to DVD sales and repeated cable showings. The merchandise game has been strong for years. You can buy "Hocus Pocus"-themed candles, wine tumblers, makeup, cardigans.
