The original Hocus Pocus (1993) movie has a cult following that comes out in full force this time of year. Even though the Sanderson sisters might be horrified by the commercialization of modern Halloween, that doesn’t stop fans from snapping-up every bit of Hocus Pocus merchandise they can grab.

This year has been an especially good for for fans of the franchise, with all three original stars — Better Midler (Winifred), Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah), and Kathy Najimy (Mary) — expressing interest in returning for a Hocus Pocus 2 sequel in the near future!

Though right now a second movie has not actually been yet confirmed, Bette Midler did confirm that the Hocus Pocus cast would be reuniting for a virtual reunion event called “In Search of the Sanderson Sisters: A Hocus Pocus Hulaween Takeover”.

So who else will be appearing in the virtual event? Well, as per a ComicBook.com report, Midler has let it slip that John Stamos — who is known for being a big Disney fan alongside his wife, Caitlin (@CaitlinSkybound on Instagram) — will be appearing as a “handsome devil” in the upcoming project:

Midler dropped the surprising news that John Stamos would appear in the project as a character she affectionally refers to as a “handsome devil.”

This makes it sound like Stamos will be playing the role originally fulfilled by comedy filmmaker Garry Marshall. The actor starred alongside his sister Penny Marshall as a married couple, with him dressed in a devil costume and convincing the Sanderson Sisters that he’s the real deal.
