As the witches were performing one of their songs, a character questioned, “Who are they performing for?” further entailing that the film’s self-awareness is poking fun at their own selves.Īn end-credit scene hints at a possible third film adaptation for the future, which would make sense with the opening of several new characters and developments. “Hocus Pocus 2” definitely has its ridiculous moments but contains a level of self-awareness that makes it even more hilarious as several snarky comments are thrown out.
HYPNOTIZE PHOTO SKIN
All the while, the new youngsters trick the witches into thinking that skin care products are potions made up of deceased children. Using Roomba vacuum cleaners and Swiffer WetJets as witch brooms since the witches didn’t have any, was a bit clever. The sequel uses a lot of 21st-century humor since the witches are of course outdated. That wasn’t the only musical number in the film, taking a twist on a classic Elton John song to sing “The Witches are Back” near the beginning of the film, following their summoning. This time they sing “One Way or Another” by Blondie, a rather fitting song since they were trying to hypnotize a said audience and utilize them for their evil plan. Similar to the original, the three witches sing a song in front of a crowd. The film does fine without them, but one can’t help but think how well the film would have been if the original protagonists made an appearance. It’s very disappointing that none of the original teenagers from the first film make an appearance, not even as a simple cameo. They don’t level up to the original teenagers within the film’s first adaptation. We follow them on their quest, but there isn’t much of a unique plot between the three young girls for audiences to care for them. The new protagonists have a worthy storyline but lack character development. The sequel does substantially tie in the original film into its plot, as the characters are consistently bringing up the last time the sisters were in Salem, providing some well-needed interest and critical plot development. Their quest to un-summon the sisters comes into play after the witches are determined to execute a spell that would allow them to stay in modern-day Salem. Our new protagonists are three teenage girls who bond over witchcraft, two of which accidentally summon the Sanderson sisters on Halloween night. We even see his character alive, not “zombified,” in the beginning’s backstory. His character spends a lot of time trying to get back at the Sanderson sisters and repair his reputation, wanting everyone to know that he did not date Winifred. The sequel answers a lot about the three witches that become necessary in the new plotline.ĭoug Jones returns for his role as Billy Butcherson, the zombie known for “dating” Winfred. The backstory offers a lot of major explanations, including how the Sandersons gained their powers. This go-around features a backstory for the bewitched sisters, showing how they came into witchcraft back in the old days of Salem.
