10 Pieces Of Hocus Pocus Fan Art That Are Super Spooky

When it comes to fun-loving Halloween family films, few have offered more unbridled joy over the last 27 years than Disney’s Hocus Pocus. The plot of the film follows trio of wicked witches returning to Salem, Massachusetts 300 years after being burned at the stake continues to be one of the most beloved films for everyone to watch during All Hallows Eve.

Starring Bette Middler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker, Hocus Pocus was released on July 16, 1993. The film cost an estimated $28 million to make and grossed roughly $44 million worldwide. With the film’s continued popularity comes a slew of fan art, memes, cosplays, and retrospective tributes.

10 Creepy Dolls

Courtesy of LVBart comes a spooky minimalist hand-drawn depiction of the three Hocus Pocus witches – Winifred (Middler), Sarah (Parker), and Mary (Najimy) – as a trio of handless and eyeless dolls.

While the artwork retains the childlike aesthetic of a toy-doll, the vacuous eyeballs and lack of fingers denote a frightening sense of soulless emptiness that would likely scare children to near death. The art is done by Ludwig Van Bacon, who has several other pieces of Hocus Pocus fan art worth checking out.

9 Maniacal Spellbook

Created by SuperWheatley via Deviant Art, this image of the three weird, wild, and wicked witches delighting over a spellbook seance comes with a heightened sense of creepiness highlighted by body language.

In addition to the maniacal grin that Winifred flashes as her eyes bulge pout of her skull, notice the way in which the witches place their decrepit hands with long sharp fingernails. As a glowing green cauldron imbues their faces with a sickly green tint, Sarah appears like a zombie ready for attack.

8 Swollen Grotesquery

This grotesque image of the Sanderson Sisters depicted with swollen, almost clownlike faces is startling for how exaggerated the witches’ facial features are. The image was created by the artist known as Bluyou via DeviantArt.

With the extreme features such as Winifred’s buck-teeth or Sarah’s witchy mole, the image almost has a Roald Dahl quality. The puffy cheeks make them appear larger than life, while Sarah’s devilish grin adds an extra layer of creepiness.

7 Ethereal Pose

To grasp how truly spooky this image is, one should look at the full picture here. The ethereal image comes from Daniel Kordek, aka daekazu, and beautifully depicts the Sanderson Sisters as evil enchantresses.

In addition to the finely detailed images of the three witches, the artwork’s creepiness is bolstered by the swirling wind and fog that lend a supernatural quality to the piece. The floating pumpkin with the adorable cat’s face is a nice touch as it adds a false sense of innocence to the image.

6 The Rise of Billy Butcherman

Courtesy of Kevin Nordstrom, aka MrDinks, this image titled “The Rise of Billy Butcherman” has a distinct throwback style redolent of the 1990s. Click here to see the creepy image in full.

What makes this one so spooky is how many ghoulish figures appear in it. In addition to the three scary reincarnated witches, the portrayal of Billy rising from the grave as a reanimated zombie while a black cat flashes across the bottom is unlike most of the Hocus Pocus fan art pieces.

5 Immortality Potion

Created by Aquiles-Soir, this image labeled “Immortality Potion” depicts lead witch Winifred (Middler) as a deranged and cackling maniac as she brews a vat of neon green elixir.

In addition to her overzealous response, what makes the image so spooky is the detailed artwork highlighting Winifred’s possessed determination to create a serum of immortality. The long, sharp fingernails and eerily bedazzled jewelry lend an added layer of uneasiness.

4 Pencil Sketch

This mortifying pencil-sketch of the witchy Sanderson Sisters comes from Nev777 via DeviantArt. Not only is the image far different than most colorful fan-art depictions, but the stark hand-drawn sketch resembles something Hannibal Lecter would have made while in prison.

Beyond the exaggerated hairdos, the meticulous detail in the eyes of each witch in the image is what makes it so spooky. Mary Sanderson in particular appears eviler than she ever has in the past.

3 Renaissance Pose

There’s something both stunningly beautiful and startlingly spooky about this image of the Sanderson Sisters created by artist Jacke Flamel via DeviantArt.

The arresting imagery has a retro-Renaissance feel as the witchy women wear ornate costumes from their time spent in 1692 Salem. While Sarah appears a bit entranced, Winifred and Mary have creepily distorted facial figures that make them appear more grotesque than in reality.

2 I Put A Spell On You

The raging in-your-face violence of this image of Winifred comes from fan artist Diego Tomasini, aka DIBRJUO. The black and white hand-drawn piece is made ultra-freaky by the exaggerated body features of the odious witch.

Aside from the oversized head and wild hairstyle, the pencil neck and reptilian claw-like hands and fingernails make Winifred appear doubly monstrous. The pinched brow and bugged-out eyes underscore the fact that Winifred is about to cast a spell on her next victim.

1 Samhain 1992

Created by SamHain1992 via Tumblr, fewer pieces of Hocus Pocus fan-art conjure the sensibility of both the film and the Halloween season as the image above.

With the zombified Billy Butcherson taking center stage, the entire piece has the appearance of an official one-sheet poster for the film. The three Sanderson witches hover above the principal cast members, while the holiday iconography also includes the black cat, menacing jack-o-lanterns, spooky graveyards, and the like.
