D23 Showcases Classic Hocus Pocus Props!

 

Good morning Disney fans!

It's that time of year again.  Cool weather...falling leaves...pumpkin spice...costumes...brooms, and (most importantly) candy.  

I love this time of year - the decorating is so much fun and the Disney Halloween movies are in full swing.

One of the most popular Disney Halloween movies (and my personal favorite) is Hocus Pocus.  Hocus Pocus is the fun and fictional tale of three witch sisters - the SANDERSON sisters - who were sent to their death in 1693 after taking the town of Salem's small children.

Before being hanged, Winifred Sanderson places a curse on the town that will result in the three witches being resurrected on Halloween eve if a virgin lights the black flame candle.  As you suspect and already know by now, a virgin does light the candle, the sisters are resurrected, and the devilishly fun Sanderson sister tale ensues.

It's a cult classic that has grown so much in popularity each year that Disney now has a Hocus Pocus 2 (!!) in production even as I type.

That's why I am so excited to share these pictures with you from the D23 website as they showcase some of the iconic props from the cult classic.  I hope you enjoy them, and please make sure to visit the website to see more pictures!

Happy Halloween Disney fans!
