Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy star as Winifred, Sarah, and Mary. They return as the delightfully wicked Sanderson sisters. They bewitched audiences in the 1993 film Hocus Pocus. Doug Jones also returns as Billy Butcherson. Joining them are Whitney Peak as Becca, Lilia Buckingham as Cassie, and Belissa Escobedo as Izzy. They are three young women in present-day Salem who incite the wrath of the three witches.
Synopsis
It has been 29 years since someone lit the Black Flame Candle. Consequentially, the resurrected 17th-century sisters who were executed for practicing witchcraft, are now looking for revenge. Subsequently, it is up to three high-school students to figure out how to stop the ravenous witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on Salem before midnight on All Hallow’s Eve.
