As exciting as it is to bring back the old guard, the film makes it clear that the story can continue with a new generation. Instead, its script finds a way to imbue the film with a deeper meaning that resonates throughout the best legacy sequels. Their raucous romp is filled with similar mayhem as before-crashing Halloween parties, terrorizing residents, attempting some light child sacrifice, and a cheeky rendition of a classic track-but Hocus Pocus 2 never truly takes the same path as what came before. While very little has changed in Salem, Massachusetts since the Sanderson Sisters were turned into dust in the final act of Hocus Pocus, the sequel (aptly titled Hocus Pocus 2) introduces audiences to a whole new trio destined for an unforgettable Halloween and ushers in a new spooky classic that’s sure to thrill audiences.įrom the first second they appear, it is a true delight to see Winnie (Bette Midler), Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker), and Mary ( Kathy Najimy) reunited and wreaking mayhem in the town of Salem once more.
