#WHO DOES HOCUS FOCUS NOW HOW TO#
Midler, Najimy and Parker all reprise their roles as three young women - played by Whitney Peak, Belissa Escobedo and Lilia Buckingham - must figure out how to stop the child-hungry witches from wreaking havoc once more. Nearly three decades after Hocus Pocus was released, the Sanderson sisters have been brought back to life in the 2022 Disney+ sequel Hocus Pocus 2. The Sanderson sisters return to Salem, and Max, Allison, Thackery and Dani (Thora Birch) make it their mission to stop the witches from sucking the lives out of innocent children. In 1993, though, Los Angeles transplant Max Dennison (Omri Katz) lights the candle in an attempt to impress his crush Allison (Vinessa Shaw). Over the 300 years since the Sanderson sisters’ death, a young boy who’s been turned into a cat, Thackery Binx, guards the candle to prevent it from being lit.
But Winifred’s (Midler) spell book casts a curse that will resurrect the sisters on the condition that a virgin light the black flame candle during a full moon on All Hallows Eve. The film begins with the Sanderson sisters being hung by the townspeople of Salem, Massachusetts in 1693.
