Inside the Magic has kept you up to date on the production news for the Halloween film, as Bette Midler, Kathy Najimi, and Sarah Jessica Parker renewed their roles in the Hocus Pocus sequel. We also covered the Rhode Island farm set, as strange and eerie half houses became Salem village and the backdrop for what seemed to be the Sanderson sisters as children.

Later on, a video of a Salem Halloween contest emerged, showing Bette Midler casting her newest spell on the modern residents of Salem. It’s here that the newest cast members of Hocus Pocus 2 might be placed. Reported by Entertainment Weekly, “the Drag Race threesome filmed a scene for the Disney+ sequel in Rhode Island in November 2021 in which they portray impersonations of the Sanderson Sisters at a drag show when the real witches show up.”
