Shoppers are going crazy for Poundland's new Halloween Hocus Pocus range

Fans of the Hocus Pocus films are going crazy for a new range of products from budget retailer Poundland.

The release of Hocus Pocus 2 - a sequel to the classic starring Bette Middler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy - has sparked a whole new generation of fans and they're seemingly desperate to get their hands on some merch this Halloween.

Poundland's range includes everything from mugs, featuring slogans such as 'I put a spell on you', to pumpkins with various character designs on the front.

Thousands of people have responded to photos of the range on the retailer's Facebook page, commenting on how much they 'need these right now'.

"These are just stunning," said one shopper about the pumpkins. "They are amazing, brilliant for 3 quid."

"omg I want one," said another.

Some shoppers said they were disappointed to not see them in their local store, but Poundland bosses say the range, which arrived in stores last week, has simply been 'flying off the shelves like witches on broomsticks'.

Other products include glasses, candles, and notebook and pen sets.

Disney first released its trailer for the highly-anticipated sequel back in June, and it quickly amassed tens of millions of views.

The sequel sees the Sanderson Sisters return to wreak havoc in Salem once again.

Both films are available to watch on Disney+.
