Yes, I hope they are coming back. Whatever happened to that re-make with Jordin Sparks anyway?

Hocus Pocus really doesn’t need a sequel, but if it’s going to have one, it needs the real Sanderson Sisters!!

You know, Mick Garris says the original owes a lot of it's popularity to the original actresses, and he's probably right, going along with what UmbrellaFish said.

It’s apparently A Halloween party short film only available For those on Hulu, which begs the question how are we Canadians able to watch it? If anyone could please let me know it would be truly gratefully appreciated :-) By the way, I’m sorry Disney duster for messaging this to you what’s the technical error :-)

@robster: What a cute picture! I imagine these roles were so much fun to play (as much as they were to watch), which is why I'm not surprised they'd be willing to return for a sequel.

That is such a cute picture of them. They seem to be having a lot of fun performing these roles.

I can't wait to see the film. I wonder if they will release it on Disney + afterwards.

For some reason I always think of Bedknobs and Broomsticks when someone discuss Hocus Pocus.

Originally the phrase "hocus pocus" used to refer to Catholocisim because they used Latin all the time.

Oh, and this is freaking awesome news!!!

The re-release of "Hocus Pocus" is actually pulling in decent numbers for a movie widely available on a streaming service and playing in the middle of a pandemic, which makes me wonder if Disney will consider giving the sequel a theatrical release rather than going straight to Disney+. The first film's status has risen a lot since 1993 and I think there's clearly an audience willing to see a sequel in theatres.

Quick note that I have seen no evidence the live stream on Friday will be available on Hulu. I think the confusion may be because the event is called "Hulaween" which is what Bette's Halloween party has been called for years. According to the website, the stream is only available for those who paid for it via the NYRP website, and won't be available after it airs. Just a heads up!
