Disney Now Has a Release Date for Hocus Pocus 2

I smell a release date! Hocus Pocus 2 is flying in soon. Check out all the information here.

Hocus Pocus 2

Ever since Disney+ took the opportunity on Investor Day 2020 to drop the news that the Sanderson Sisters would be back to run amuck (amuck amuck) in an all new film, we have been saying, “Cometh to us, Hocus Pocus 2!” Fans embraced the news cheerily.

After all, many of us grew up watching the 1993 film every Halloween. And if we’re being honest, some of us probably didn’t limit ourselves to the spooky season and instead watched it pretty much every day.

The Story

The original film focuses on three witches who are executed and then resurrected 300 years later in Salem, Massachusetts. The witches are dead set on achieving immortality, but a group of children make it their mission to foil those plans.

In the sequel, three young teenagers accidentally bring back all three of the wicked sisters back to modern day Salem. We can’t wait to see what antics they have up their sleeves after all this time.
