Wasn't sure how I felt about this but nonetheless I wanted to share
Disney is releasing a book about Hocus Pocus in July 2018 (the month of the 25th anniversary of the film) and the latter part of the book is essentially a sequel where the original kids are now grown ups.
Hocus Pocus fans always need more Hocus Pocus in our lives, especially today! In case you didn’t know, January 31, 2018 marks the appearance of a super blue blood moon in the night sky. With this in mind, we couldn’t be more excited that we have Hocus Pocus news to share: There is a new book coming out just in time for the 25th anniversary of the iconic film, and we’ve got the exclusive cover art and an excerpt. The book is a two-parter: Part one is a fresh retelling of the original film, and part two is a sequel that continues the story of our favorite characters and the next generation of Salem teens. That’s right, in part two we’ll get to hear the story of a grown-up Max Dennison, who ended up marrying Allison, of course! We’ll also get to catch up with Dani Dennison, and meet Max and Allison’s seventeen-year-old daughter, Poppy. The story takes place on a blood moon (like today!) and the group will face a challenge when they accidentally release a coven of witches from the afterlife and have to save Salem and everyone in it.

In a perfect world, I hope this signals some sort of special edition re-release with proper bonus features and the coveted deleted scenes that are shown in the theatrical trailer! Who knows, maybe for this anniversary they're planning to actually celebrate this cult classic for what it is!
