Synopsis wrote:When eighteen-year-old Poppy, the daughter of Max and Allison, finds herself face-to-face with the Sanderson sisters cackling in all their glory, it's a race against time to save her family and Salem from the witches' latest scheme in this all-new sequel to the cult classic Hocus Pocus.

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.

The original “Hocus Pocus” cast members are not attached to the sequel, but Disney is hopeful that they will become involved in some capacity. Sources say that ideally the trio of actresses will reprise their roles, rather than having to completely reboot the first film.
