What is Hocus Pocus about?
Directed by Kenny Ortega (yes, the one who directed High School Musical), the first Hocus Pocus movie is about a teenager named Max Dennison who moves to Salem, Massachusetts. Max, his sister, and their friend Allison decide to explore an abandoned house and, in their exploration, they accidentally free a coven of evil witches, the Sanderson Sisters. Unless the gang is able to steal the three witches' book of spells, they will be immortal, leaving their evil to live on forever.
Hocus Pocus 2, released in 2022, reunites audiences with the Sanderson Sisters 29 years later. This time they're out for revenge, and it is up to 3 high-school students to prevent them from wreaking havoc on Salem.
