Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOn the podcast Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum (2018), Doug Jones said that the wig he wears as Billy Butcherson in this movie is the same one he wore in the first movie.
- GoofsGilbert states that as a child, he witnessed the climatic finale of the first movie, but in said film, all the children of Salem were under Sarah's trance at this point, marching towards the Sanderson cottage. Gilbert is clearly capable of performing magic and therefore, it's possible, he may be immune, like the Sanderson Sisters.

Featured review
Not bad but super lackluster compared to the original!
It lacked sincerity and feeling. In fact, I didn't feel much of anything throughout except frustration. Whereas the first one made me laugh and cry the whole way through, this one was really ho-hum, except for the very end- and I only laughed once!
Like I said, there is a feeling of insincerity to this one. It's basically a parody of itself, whereas the original feels like a genuine classic. And a lot of the stuff in this felt forced and just annoying.
Also, no Max, Dani, or Allison in this one, and I was really looking forward to their return!
Glad I watched, but overall, a letdown and super lame.
UPDATE: Okay, it's only lame in comparison to the original, but not lame overall. I just can't stay mad at a Hocus Pocus movie- anything with these 3 sisters is cool with me, and I hope there are more sequels!
