The Sanderson Sisters Are Back – The Hollywood Reporter
Some legends never die.
The Sanderson sisters are back in the first trailer for Hocus Pocus 2, and they are still hungry like children.
The sequel to the classic Halloween movie reunites Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy as Winifred, Sarah and Mary Sanderson respectively and takes place 29 years after the original.
The teaser opens up to three high school students played by Whitney Peak, Belissa Escobedo, and Lilia Buckingham, who are discussing their plans for that night.
“Birthday ritual: a horror movie marathon, like every year,” Becca (Peak) tells Cassie (Buckingham), while filming a clip of Becca and Izzy (Escobedo) visiting a magic shop and reading a book. ritual prayer – only to recognize the chanting works, and the Black Fire Candle is officially lit.
A red crack opened in the ground below the girls as they tried to flee. Winifred (Midler) says: “Lock your kids up. “Yes, Salem. We are back! “
The witches are then greeted by townspeople dressed as Sanderson Sisters, paying homage to the scenes from A trick where everyone assumed they were women dressed up as witches.
When they said they might be looking for the stage, Midler’s Winifred replied, “Always.”
With ferocious, revenge-seeking witches now back, three high school students must keep them from causing a new kind of devastation to Salem before dawn on All Hallow night.
Hocus Pocus 2 also stars Sam Richardson, Doug Jones, Hannah Waddingham, Froyan Gutierrez and Tony Hale, among others.
The sequel launches on Disney+ on September 30.
