The Internet Is Trying To Make An All-Black Hocus Pocus Reboot Happen And It’s Kinda Fly
There isn’t a single Halloween movie I love more than Hocus Pocus. Nearly every Halloween as a kid my mom would bribe me out of taking me trick-or-treating by buying me a barbie, some candy, and renting Hocus Pocus. I still watch the movie to this day. And apparently so do plenty of Black girls.

So who would play the Sanderson sisters you ask? Look no further than the image below.
