Hocus Pocus 2 Image Shows Sanderson Sisters’ Childhood Home

A photo from the set of Disney’s Hocus Pocus 2 shows the Sanderson Sisters’ childhood home. The world was first introduced to Winnie (Bette Midler), Mary (Kathy Najimy), and Sarah Sanderson (Sarah Jessica Parker) in the 1993 family flick Hocus Pocus. Nearly three decades later, the wicked witches who vied to live forever, have been immortalized as Halloween icons. Fans of the movie have grown hungry for more, hoping to see all three Hocus Pocus stars reprise their spooky alter egos. In 2020, Disney granted their collective wish, announcing that a follow-up film was in the works.

Excitement grew when Midler, Najimy, and Parker were confirmed to star in Hocus Pocus 2. Helmed by director Anne Fletcher (The Proposal), the production filmed across a fake Salem set in Rhode Island during the Fall of 2021. Locals and eager aficionados leaked Hocus Pocus 2 photos and videos of the outdoor shoots online, gifting the world the first glimpses at the upcoming spooktacular. One location included an entire colonial town erected on Chase Farm in Lincoln, Rhode Island. The structures made it clear that, like its predecessor, Hocus Pocus 2 will go back to the 1600s at some point.

The ever-fateful Hocus Pocus Guide shared a glimpse at one of the most important houses on the colonial Salem set. The image shows the childhood home of the Sanderson sisters as a 17th century styled structure. Check out the set image from Hocus Pocus 2 below:

The modest home has hints of its inhabitants, cobbled together with simple slates of wooden sidings, a thatch roof, and a single chimney. From the cauldron to the three pitchforks out front, it appears that the kooky Hocus Pocus trio had a humble upbringing. According to Hocus Pocus Guide the house will likely be seen in the opening sequences of the movie. It sits on the farm that Disney procured so they could build a custom town that they’d have complete creative control over.

17th century Salem’s role in Hocus Pocus 2 is still unconfirmed. While the original movie only had an opening flashback, many have said that the new installation will show a lot more of colonial times. No matter the setting, what matters most is that Hocus Pocus 2 unlocks the Sanderson sisters’ backstory. 2022 audiences need far more than 1993 ones, craving performances that are grounded in some sort of truth. While seeing the witches run amuck is truly the desired entertainment, there will also need to be more revealed about the Sanderson sisters’ origins and motivations this time around. Hocus Pocus 2 will fly onto Disney+ in the Fall of 2022.
