Hocus Pocus has never been too far from the actress’ mind every year Midler hosts an annual Hulaween costume party, with proceeds going to the New York Restoration Project. Through highs and lows, the actress has continued working and recording and in 2021, Midler received the Kennedy Center Honor for a lifetime of achievement in the performing arts. In 2013, Midler performed on Broadway for the first time in more than 30 years in I’ll Eat You Last: A Chat with Sue Mengers. With her acting appearances garnering less than favorable reviews in later years, Miller turned to a Vegas residency while continuing to take small roles here and there. In 2003, she kicked off her highly successful tour Kiss My Brass and went on to feature in the Stepford Wives remake. That decade’s film appearances included Get Shorty, First Wives Club, and Disney’s Fantasia 2000.Īt the turn of the 21st century, Midler starred in her own CBS sitcom Bette, and featured in Nancy Meyers’ What a Girl Wants, Isn’t She Great, and Drowning Mona.

Prior to their hanging, the sisters cast a curse that will resurrect them if a virgin lights the Black Flame Candle in their cottage during a full moon on All Hollow’s Eve. In the film, the Sanderson Sisters are three Salem witches condemned to death in 1693 after draining the life force of a young girl and cursing her brother to live an eternity as a black cat. The film likely became a cult hit due to its tone, which is a bit more adult than the typical live-action Disney fare, and the campy performances of the film’s villains, the Sanderson Sisters, portrayed by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy. In October 2018, the 25th anniversary of the film, the first week of Hocus Pocus viewings on Freeform averaged 8.2 million viewers. Still, Disney continued to air the film annually on the Disney Channel and Freeform (formerly ABC Family), and a generation of kids was practically raised on the spooky season staple. Critics panned Hocus Pocus, and box office numbers weren’t exactly spectacular either it’s believed that the film may have lost about $16.5 million in its original theatrical run. At the time of the original film’s release, a sequel probably seemed like a total long shot. The Sanderson Sisters are back! After 29 years, Hocus Pocus 2 is now on Disney+.
