More details about Hocus Pocus
Hocus Pocus was released in 1993, starring Bette Milder, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy in the lead roles as the Sanderson sisters. The film tells the bizarrely hilarious story of three witches who are back from the dead after three centuries. The movie blends elements of fantasy, horror, and comedy to craft a memorable cinematic experience.
The film received mixed-to-positive reviews upon its release and was also a commercial failure. However, retrospective reviews have been more favorable, and the movie is now widely regarded as a cult classic, garnering a strong fanbase around the world. It is also considered to be one of the most iconic Halloween movies of all time.
The film was helmed by Kenny Ortega, best known for High School Musical and his work with Michael Jackson on the singer's canceled This Is It tour. Talks about a possible sequel have been going on for the past few years, and fans have been eagerly waiting for quite some time.
