September Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss22 of 25
Hocus Pocus 2 | Premieres on Disney Plus on Friday, Sept. 30
Plot: In modern-day Salem, three young women who accidentally bring back the Sanderson Sisters must figure out how to stop the child-hungry witches from wreaking havoc on the world.
Our Take: It's been nearly 30 years since Hocus Pocus reached legendary status as chewy Halloween candy. Fans are thankful for whatever sorcery reunited Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker for a sequel that will flashback to the 1600s to show the Sanderson Sisters as kids before seeing what the coven gets up to in present-day Salem. Keep the Black Flame Candle lit for some surprise appearances, though Disney has assured us that the only other returning cast member is Doug Jones as the centuries-old zombie, Billy Butcherson. — Arno
