The Sanderson sisters are back for revenge! On Tuesday (June 28), the first film's spooky teaser trailer for Hocus Pocus 2 was summoned, almost three decades since the first film was released in 1993. The film is set 29 years after the legendary witches' true deaths. Cassie (Lilia Buckingham) wishes "good birthday" to her friend Becca (Whitney Peak) and asks about her plans. "Birthday is a holiday, and a scary movie marathon is the same as every year," she says. Ominous foreshadowing, perhaps?
