The 'Hocus Pocus' Cast Reunited for the Film's 25th Anniversary, and You Won't Believe What They Look Like Now
It's been twenty-five years since the Hallow's Eve on which your ~bewitching~ faves Winifred, Sarah, and Mary Sanderson were awoken by that lit black flame candle. GOOD JOB MAX!! (But, like, for real-who wants to go through Halloween without rewatching the movie?!) And in celebration of this major tombstone milestone anniversary, the cast of Disney's Hocus Pocus all came together to celebrate, and film a Halloween TV special at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
Of course, Max "Hollywood" Dennison (Omri Katz) was there-looking basically unrecognizable with full-on salt and pepper beard.
His little sister Dani Dennison (Thora Birch) also had a MAJOR glow-up.
And Allison (Vinessa Shaw) was also there, and still as beautiful as ever. Yabbos and all!
First time I’ve been glammed up in I don’t know how long!!! #momlife #bts #hocuspocus25thanniversary

During the bash, the three kids shared this super cute moment together, and had a pic with director Kenny Ortega-who also directed the High School Musical films!

Bumbling bullies Jay (Tobias Jelinek) and Ernie Ice (Larry Bagby) also joined in the fun, still in the cages the Sanderson sisters had imprisoned them in at the end of the movie. But hey, at least they've got Vanessa Hudgens for company. (In case you're wondering, she's hosting the special.) and maybe she'll have sung them some HSM classics?! "Breaking Free," specifically.
Let’s do this 🤘 @vanessahudgens @larrybagby #cagesareback #HocusPocus25thAnniversary @freeform

And if you're wondering what friendly zombie Billy Butcherson (Doug Jones) looks like IRL, well, he definitely doesn't have green skin and stitches everywhere. Surprise!
Also, did you know Jones actually played the fish-man in Oscar-winning movie The Shape of Water?! Because he totally did!
While neither Sarah nor Winifred Sanderson was anywhere in sight-despite previous reports suggesting Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) would be present-Mary (Kathy Najimy) took the stage.
Freeform's Hocus Pocus 25th Anniversary Halloween Bash airs on Saturday, October 20 at 8:15 p.m. So tune in to watch just EXACTLY what went down at this magical reunion, and who else was there.
