Hocus Pocus is getting a reboot with a new cast and none of you are happy
The original Hocus Pocus has become a cult classic in the years since its release in 1993.
Starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy as three Salem witches resurrected in the present day, the comedy horror continues to gain fans off the back of its TV screenings around Halloween.
Many people encounter the film on the Disney Channel, and the broadcaster is looking to capitalise by developing a new TV movie reboot.
