Hocus Pocus 2 preview
Twenty-nine years after the events in the first film, the Sanderson sisters are resurrected once again when two high school students, Becca and Izzy, unknowingly use the Black Flame Candle. Gilbert, the owner of the Olde Salem Magic Shoppe, which used to be the Sanderson house, tricks the girls into bringing them back to life.
Learning that Salem’s present mayor is a direct descendant of Reverend Traske, the priest who banished Winifred Sanderson in the 1600s, the sisters swear revenge to get rid of Mayor Traske and inflict mayhem on Salem. But with Becca and Izzy, alongside their friend Cassie, foiling their every plan, the Sanderson sisters, notorious for being child-hungry witches, have to step up their game.
