Friday night’s “Hocus Pocus” reunion not only brought out the original Sanderson Sisters but other big celebrities as well.
Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy reunited for “In Search of the Sanderson Sisters: A Hocus Pocus Hulaween Takeover” which benefited Midler’s New York Restoration Project.
But helping raise funds for the good cause, Mariah Carey, Meryl Streep and Glenn Close all did their part.
Carey closed out the special but telling Winifred Sanderson to “scat” since “Halloween is nearly over” and it is her “turn now” as “All I Want For Christmas” played in the background.
Thank you to the Divine Miss M @BetteMidler for having me! Best Halloween movie ever!!

Close revived her part as Cruella de Vil using a “homemade” outfit.

In case you missed it, Midler recently seemed to confirm that the original cast will reunite once again for a “Hocus Pocus” sequel on Disney+.
“They want to make a movie, they’ve asked us if we were interested and of course all of us said yes,” Midler said to Fox 5 New York’s “Good Day New York”. “I’m game, I’m totally game.”
