Original star Bette Midler, along with her co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy, have expressed their excitement about revisiting their witchy roles.
At her annual Hulaween Charity event for the New York Restoration Project, held on Halloween Day, the legendary Bette Midler shared her enthusiasm.

Clearly, the 73-year-old star is just as excited as her fans to revisit the magical world she helped create.

Despite its initial lukewarm reception at the box office, Hocus Pocus has grown into a beloved cult classic over the years. In 2018, the film celebrated its 25th anniversary, and the cast reunited for a nostalgic trip down memory lane. However, Bette Midler admitted that it had been quite some time since she had watched herself in the role.
