As a gamer who grew up watching VHS tapes of Hocus Pocus more times than I can count, the thought of a third installment in this iconic franchise has me absolutely spellbound! The Sanderson sisters have always been my Halloween go-to, and their love for revenge and chaos is as timeless as the flick itself.
It’s safe to say that the Sanderson sisters are well-known figures by now, given their mischief has been going on for about three decades. With both the initial and follow-up films garnering significant acclaim, it seems the popular series is poised to expand into a trilogy. However, one might wonder what a third movie could entail? Well, the writer of Hocus Pocus 2, Jen D’Angelo, has given us some hints about the potential direction for another installment.
In discussing the potential directions for a third Halloween-themed Disney film based on “Hocus Pocus,” Jen D’Angelo is quite confident about one aspect – the Sanderson sisters’ thirst for revenge, particularly that of Winnifred. She shared with Collider that crafting this sequel has been an engaging challenge, given the film’s cherished universe and the captivating characters, specifically the sisters. D’Angelo expresses her thoughts on Winnie and her siblings as follows: “The Sanderson sisters, particularly Winnifred, have a deep affection for revenge.
With the Sanderson sisters, what makes them entertaining is that they behave much like trying to corral a group of unruly cats. I find myself saying, ‘Indeed, Winifred gained an invaluable insight – her affection for her siblings surpasses everything else.’ However, she can easily be sidetracked by anything presented before her. If you wave the carrot of a possible retaliation against Salem, something she has yearned for all along, there’s a risk she might revert to her old ways and become fixated on the misguided objective once more.
It appears likely that the three siblings might revert to old habits after the 2022 sequel, but the author hints at alternative possibilities for the plot, which adds to the interest. Regardless of how the tale unfolds, we can only wish it encourages growth for the Sandersons.
In a new twist, fans recently witnessed Winnifred, Sarah, and Mary facing death for the second time, this time in the woods near Salem. The ending might have sparked varying opinions and criticism, particularly from longtime viewers. Yet, it’s undeniable that these characters were outsmarted once more, this time by some youngsters and their relentless pursuit of eternal life.
