Hocus Pocus 3 Is Happening!

6/4/2023

Less than a year after the long awaited sequel premiered, The New York Times have revealed today that Hocus Pocus 3 is officially happening!

President of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production, Sean Bailey very briefly mentioned that Hocus Pocus 3 is indeed happening, while also discussing a whole host of other films that are currently in the works. This includes a live action Moana, Hercules and Lilo & Stitch.

No further details were revealed, other than it is happening, so for now we can rejoice that hopefully the original Sanderson Sisters will be back once more...

Five Hocus Pocus Product Finds June 2022

6/30/2022

1 Comment

June is coming to an end and what a month this has been for Hocus Pocus fans!

This month saw the release of a brand new Movie Moments Pop at Spirit Halloween in the USA and the very first teaser trailer and posters for Hocus Pocus 2.

As we creep closer to Hocus Pocus 2, October and Halloween 2022, the next few months are guaranteed to be bursting with spooky surprises and of course Hocus Pocus merchandise!

All of the below finds are from small businesses and as always, links are included with each post!

Binx Acrylic Pin

If you love Binx the cat, you'll love this!

This pin is made from clear acrylic and has Binx standing in front of a bright moon and purple clouds/smoke.

Measuring approximately 1.25 inches, this would look great on any outfit this Halloween! You can also pick up a matching Dani pin and sticker from this store too.

To grab yours just click here.

Hocus Pocus Ice Cream Pin

Summerween officially started this month and what better way to add a spooky touch to these long, warm summer months than with this ice cream pin!

This isn't just any ice cream pin though, this is a Sanderson Sisters glittery pin that is guaranteed to add a little magic to your summer outfits.

The pin features Mary, Wini and Sarah on top of a sundae glass thats filled with ice cream. Spell is also written across the front of this 1.77 inch pin.

I really like this pin, mainly for the fact it's so different to what we usually see for a Hocus Pocus inspired pin and with Summer in full swing, this really is such a great pin to celebrate the warmer months with the Sanderson Sisters.

You can pick up this pin right here.

Hocus Pocus Square Prints

I came across the third product on todays list only this morning and instantly fell in love with them.

These Hocus Pocus prints are available in four different designs and feature Sarah, Mary, Wini and Billy in different scenes from the film.

Each print measures approximately 8 inches by 8 inches and you can purchase each design individually or as a set of four for a lower price.

I absolutely love each design but if I had to pick, Billy is definitely my favourite from the four.

You can pick up these prints right here.

Sistahs Pin!

The third and final pin on todays list is this Sistahs! Pin.

The pin, as the name suggests, features a silhouette of the three Sanderson Sisters against a bright yellow circle. They're also surrounded by glittery stars and the moon. "Sistahs!" is written across the front in glittery text too.

This pin would pair really well with the Binx pin mentioned above. Measuring approximately 3 inches wide, it's definitely not a small pin but is perfect for any fan.

Grab your very own pin right here.

Hocus Pocus Patch

One thing I am really looking forward to over the next few months is all of the fan merchandise that will be created.

This Hocus Pocus embroidered patch features the Hocus Pocus 2 title text. Although there is no '2' with the text for the sequel film, this is still a great patch for those looking forward to the sequel and would be great to add to your collection too. The patch measures approximately 2 inches x 2 inches and has an iron-on backing.

You can pick up your very own Hocus Pocus patch right here.

Five Hocus Pocus Product Finds April 2022

4/25/2022

0 Comments

It's April which means there's another five Hocus Pocus product finds to share and this time you're in for some real treats!

This week Disney have also announced a new Halfway to Halloween event which heavily features Hocus Pocus in all of their marketing imagery, so be sure to also check out my new post which will be updated all of this week.

This month also saw the release of the brand new The Black Flame Society Podcast! Myself and the wonderful Ally aka Hocus Pocus Collector have teamed up to bring you a podcast bursting with all things Hocus Pocus, Halloween and Spooky news! You can check out all current episodes via the new website right here and be sure to rate and subscribe too.

Without further ado, here's my favourite Hocus Pocus finds this month. With so many awesome HP things out there, it's definitely getting harder to pick five each time.

Sanderson Sisters House Stamp

Some of the best merchandise around for this film come from the fans and this Hocus Pocus stamp sticker is no exception.

This features the Sanderson Sisters house and it measures approximately 50mm x 40mm, so much bigger than your standard stamp size but big enough to showcase so much detail!

This sticker is also part of a set of three stamps, which all feature famous spooky locations, the first being the Sanderson Sisters cottage and the other two featuring Phantom Manor and Jack Skellington's house.

You can buy this sticker on it's own or as a set of three for a lower price right here.

Spell Book Pin

This is such an awesome pin and a definite must for any Hocus Pocus fan!

Created by Swish and Flick Company, this spell book pin features the famous book from the film and it opens up to reveal two spells. The first being the Black Cat Curse and the second the Black Flame Candle spell. The book is held together via a magnetic lock.

A fun little touch to this pin is the eye on the front. If you give the pin a little shake, the eye moves too. Two matching 'Spelly Beans' were also released alongside the book pin and these feature a Spell Book design and "I Put A Spell On You" mini jelly bean style pin set too.

You can get your claws on all three pins right here.

Hocus Pocus Aprons

Have you even been brewing your potions in the kitchen and accidentally spilt something over yourself and ruined your favourite Hocus Pocus t-shirt? Well that issue is now a thing of the past, with these custom Hocus Pocus inspired aprons!

These aprons are super fun and are available in all three Sanderson Sister styles. You can also pick them up in heaps of sizes from baby to adult too.

These are perfect when you're in the kitchen and would also make such an awesome gift for someone who has everything HP!

You can check out all three designs right here.

Sanderson Sisters Sticker

The Sanderson Sisters are by far the best characters in all of Hocus Pocus, that kinda goes without saying, but I do absolutely love seeing other characters get some of the spotlight and this Skeleton Singer sticker is perfect.

The Skeleton Singer is only in the film for the shortest time but I always thought he was such a cool guy and looks amazing. This sticker features him singing away with the Sanderson Sisters below and recreates the town hall scene perfectly, right down to Wini's unimpressed look on her face.

You can pick up your very own sticker right here.

Sanderson Sisters Poster

The final product on this months list is all thanks to Ally of @HocusPocusCollector. Ally recently shared this awesome poster via her Instagram account and I instantly fell in love with it.

The poster, which was created by Jen Taylor, features the Spell Book and it has been designed to appear like a promotional poster for the Sanderson Sisters 'I Put A Spell On You' performance. When you turn out the lights, the Sanderson Sisters appear in the hidden glow in the dark design and it looks incredible.

This is by far one of the coolest Hocus Pocus posters I have ever seen and you can grab your very own poster and also see the glow in the dark design right here. This is a limited edition design though, so you will need to be quick before it sells out. I had to grab one for myself and I am already looking forward to it arriving and hanging on my wall.

Ten Facts About Hocus Pocus 2

3/9/2022

1 Comment

This year will mark the 29th Anniversary of Hocus Pocus and after nearly 30 years, we are finally getting a sequel!

If like me, your excitement for this film cannot be measured, then you'll love these Hocus Pocus 2 facts. The sequel is due for release this fall and all year i'll be sharing all kinds of Hocus Pocus 2 blog posts to celebrate.

Please note however, that this does contain small tiny spoilers that some of you may want to avoid. I have intentionally not included any leaked set images or videos that have been posted online and have not gone into lengthy details of confirmed scenes and characters, but this should be just enough to raise your excitement level ever so slightly, without ruining any of the film for you. You have been warned!

Rhode Island

The original Hocus Pocus had a large amount of scenes filmed in the city of Salem, Massachusetts and although all of the filming locations are now huge tourist spots, Hocus Pocus 2 has moved away from the Witch City and instead has been filmed in Rhode Island but still the film is based in Salem.

Months before the film was due to begin filming, there was rumours that the cast and crew would be returning to Salem but unfortunately this wasn't the case. It does make me wonder if these new filming locations will be as popular in 30 years time, as they are in Salem today.

Disney+ Exclusive

The long awaited sequel will be a Disney+ exclusive release. Although I could definitely see HP2 making big $$ at the box office, Disney instead are playing it safe (and no doubt attracting thousands of new subscibers) by releasing the film to its streaming service.

The original film didn't do that well when it was released in 1993. Not only was it released in July, it also only made $39 million. It did make a profit, but was still considered a flop. Jump 29 years later and the film is a huge hit and Halloween cult classic.

The Sanderson Sisters Are Back!

Fans of Hocus Pocus will have heard all of the rumours over the years, even the rumour that Tina Fey was writing the sequel and that Disney were planning on rebooting the film with a brand new cast. Bette had also expressed her interest in the returning and on many occasions has stated that Winifred Sanderson was her favourite role.

Well we can scream with pure joy as all three of the original Sanderson Sisters are back and the first official image of all three that Disney released last year is enough to give anyone butterflies.

Iconic!

Over the years, the tale of the Sanderson Sisters has grown and so has a huge fan base for them. The sequel appears to have a large part of the movie set at the 27th Annual Salem Scare Fest. This festival is all about the three witches and features themed stalls and rides and even a Sanderson Sisters costume contest.

What's Hocus Pocus Without A Little Song?

I Put A Spell On You isn't the only song that will be casting a little magic on you from now on (and Sarah's Garden of Magic of course). The sequel is expected to once again contain multiple musical numbers. One confirmed song is Blondies One Way or Another but with a Sanderson makeover.

New and Old Faces

Doug Jones is back as one of my favourite characters (they're all our favourites really, right?), Billy Butcherson. The Zombie will be back in the sequel and will once again be running through the streets of Salem.

Doug did share an image of him in full Billy makeup but the image was removed not long after being posted. It was still plenty of time for the internet to save it though, so we can see Billy once more.

Other new cast members also include Whitney Peak, Lilia Buckingham, Belissa Escobedo, Tony Hale, Sam Richardson, Hannah Waddingham, Juju Brener, Froy Gutierrez, Taylor Paige Henderson, and Nina Kitchen.

John Debney has also been confirmed to be returning to score the film. Debney scored the original Hocus Pocus and I absolutely love that soundtrack, so I am very excited to see what he puts together for the sequel.

Halloween!

There appears to be a lot of confusion on the release date of Hocus Pocus 2. Disney originally stated that the film would be released in Fall 2022, this much we know to be true, however producer Adam Shankman posted on Instagram that the film has wrapped filming and would be released "Halloween 2022". Many fans took this as the release date being October 31st, but currently, this has not been confirmed at all.
As Halloween is such a huge Holiday now, "Halloween" could be any day in October and it doesn't make much sense for Disney to release the film on the actual day of Halloween.

Sure it would be a huge hit and I can definitely see the film being one of Disney's highest watched films, but as soon as October is over, many people will go into Christmas mode and Halloween kinda gets pushed back (Halloween forever!). Which if this is the case, would cause a steep drop in viewers as soon as Halloween is over. I predict HP2 will be released mid October to ensure as many people watch and enjoy the sequel during the spookiest month of the year. I know i'll be watching both films over and over again all year anyway.

Museum? Never Heard of It

In Hocus Pocus, the Sanderson Sisters house has been turned into a museum which still contains all of their possessions. In the sequel however, it appears the Museum has now changed to a Magic Shop. It also appears that the Salem Scare Fest takes place right outside the magic shop too. The entire building is surrounded by all of the stalls and rides in set pictures that have been posted online.

With that being said, the shop may not actually be the original house but a replica, built for the festival and the real house is still tucked away amongst the trees waiting for the Sisters to return. That's just my theory though and I guess only time will tell...

Young Sanderson Sisters

We know from set pictures released online that a set of 1600 Salem was built. The set was built at Chase Farm Park, Rhode Island and features the famous Salem Witch House. The scenes filmed here will feature the young Sanderson Sisters and will create a backstory for the three witches.

Mother Sanderson

"Motherrrrr" Mother Sanderson will finally be making an appearance in Hocus Pocus 2. Casting for the film revealed that the character would be a part of the sequel and early rumours suggested it was going to be a big star like Cher or Diana Ross.
Thankfully it appears the rumoured casting is false, however fans are already speculating that Mother Sanderson will be played by Hannah Waddingham.

The year long celebration of Hocus Pocus 2 continues into another new month and i'm starting off with five more Hocus Pocus product finds that i've discovered over the last few weeks.

There are SO MANY wonderful custom products out there and these are just some of my favourite recent finds that you can get your hands on now.

If you're looking for even more Hocus Pocus treats though, be sure to check out January's list and also these awesome Hocus Pocus products that you can pre-order right now too.

Dani and Binx Plush Dolls

Dani Dennison is the sweetest character in Hocus Pocus. Sure she might call Max a Jerkface and embarrass him over Allison's Yabos but she's still pretty darn cute and this plush doll of her is ever cuter!

The doll is made with eco-felt and her arms and legs are posable too. Binx is also included with Dani, so she'll have her best friend around whenever she needs.

The maker of this doll has also made other characters from the film, including the Sanderson Sisters and Billy! So if you're after a whole set, be sure to check out their other items. You can grab your very own Dani plush right HERE.

Spell Book Brooch or Necklace

Boooooook! This Spell Book from Cherry Loco Jewellery on Etsy is incredible!

The book is made from two layers of gloss, sparkle and marble acrylics, with a third layer featuring a glass eyeball and hand-inked details.

It's clear this has been made with a lot of love and care and is definitely a must for any fan. The book can be purchased as either a brooch or necklace, the later includes a 18 inch allergy free black curb chain. Oh and it comes in an eco friendly gift box too!

Grab your very own Spell Booooook right HERE.

Hocus Pocus Sanderson Sisters Felt Pennant

Show your support for the Sanderson Sisters with this handmade felt pennant.

The pennant has been designed as if it's a live music promotional piece and features the Sanderson Sisters, Skeleton Singer and more.

It also measures a whopping 30 inches long, so make sure you have plenty of room on your wall for this!

You can grab your very own pennant right HERE.

Clay Dolls

Dani isn't the only doll on this month's list, the Sanderson Sisters are included too, but this time they're in clay form.

These adorable mini Clay Dolls feature all three of the Sanderson Sisters and each one includes a Spell Book, Binx or Broom. They're also handmade, so you're guaranteed to receive a unique doll each time.

Be sure to also check out the rest of the Bel Crafty Supplies store too as there's even more Hocus Pocus goodies to fill your basket with.

You can pick up these dolls right HERE.

Billy Butcherson Sticker

Billy Butcherson is one of my favourite characters from Hocus Pocus and I always love seeing any kind of merchandise that features this kind hearted zombie.

This sticker features a disgruntled Billy next to his gravestone, just like in the film. The design is fantastic and I especially love the little details on the gravestone itself.

If you want to add this sticker to your own Hocus Pocus collection, you can grab one right HERE.
