The Hocus Pocus sequel is incredibly aware of the fact that it is a sequel, both in presenting Gilbert ( Sam Richardson) as a little boy who saw the Sanderson Sisters flying through the sky in 1993 and dedicating his life to resurrecting them once more, to the blink-and-you-miss-it moment that sees the sisters flying past a window of someone watching Hocus Pocus, to the way Salem has embraced the Sanderson Sisters as their tourist trap fodder with costume contests and a dedicated fanbase. The three young sisters retreat into the forest to escape an incensed crowd and stumble across The Witch Mother ( Hannah Waddingham) who offers up helpful information about witchcraft and the book that has become an iconic part of Hocus Pocus lore.
