Sarah Sanderson has no use for a broom she prefers to make use of a mop as her primary mode of witch transportation. Keeping to the Halloween theme, several figures are exclusive to Spirit Halloween, a large retail chain and online store that specializes in the fall holiday. There is also an exclusive Movie Moments figure for The Sanderson Sisters. We really can’t lavish so much attention on the cat without at least giving every dog his day, so to speak.
When it comes to movie details there are sharp-eyed viewers and then there are unbelievably sharp-eyed viewers. This little detail comes to us courtesy of those unbelievably sharp-eyed movie fans out there: the fountain in Hocus Pocus is the same fountain in the opening of the show Friends.But in an alternative casting, we’d have Leonardo DiCaprio as Max and Rosie O’Donnell as Mary. Both turned down the offered roles, however. O’Donnell turned down the role because she didn’t want to play a witch and DiCaprio turned down the role because he was holding out for a chance to audition in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. That was quite a gamble on his part, but it paid off handsomely—DiCaprio got the part and went on to get an Academy Award and Golden Globe nomination for his portrayal of Arnold “Arnie” Grape. If you’re curious where the Madonna costume came from—worn by Stephanie Faracy playing mom Jenny Dennison—that one was handmade by costume designer Mary Vogt to give it a homemade costume vibe. The Fountain Appeared in the Friends Intro
Speaking of The Devil and his wife (who ultimately throws the Sanderson sisters out of the house) the duo are actually famous in their own right and real-life brother and sister. The band released their eleventh studio album Focus X, featuring cover art by Roger Dean, in November 2012. On 14 April 2014, the band released Golden Oldies on their own label, In and Out of Focus Records. It is a collection of re-recorded versions of Focus songs. In 2016, the band released Focus 8.5 / Beyond the Horizon. It is credited to "Focus and Friends featuring Marvio Ciribelli", and was recorded during gaps in their 2005 South American tour with Brazilian musicians. And while we’re talking about casting what-ifs, there’s another to add to the pile. Jennifer Lopez auditioned for the role of Sarah Sanderson—which instead went to Sarah Jessica Parker. Given what a natural fit Parker was for the role it’s even more difficult to imagine Lopez portraying the ditzy Sanderson sister. A Variety of Old Disney Costumes Appears in the Film Disney Then, for scenes that it would be difficult to safely film with a real cat or where you need the cat to make certain expressions or “talk” on demand, you bring in an animatronic cat to get the job done. As a fun bit of bonus trivia, the animatronic version of Binx also appears in Sabrina the Teenage Witch. The Kids Disliked the Multi-Cat Routine Disney There is also Sarah Jessica Parker as Sarah Sanderson, the youngest sister, who makes use of a mop as her primary mode of transportation. Rounding out the trio, Mary Sanderson (Kathy Najimy) is the middle sister and she uses a vacuum in place of a broom.However, Shane isn't just a movie guy. He also loves video games. Super Mario Sunshine, The Last of Us Part 1 and 2, and Batman: Arkham City are some of his favorites. Music plays a big part in his life as well. Given that Shane's a big horror fan, you might be surprised to learn that he's a pop guy. Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa, The Jonas Brothers, and Demi Lovato play on repeat while he's writing. In a different timeline, there are some different famous faces in Hocus Pocus. In the version we know, the role of Max Dennison is played by Omri Katz and Mary Sanderson is played by Kathy Najimy—both seen above. Roles, we might add, they completely nailed. We certainly can’t imagine Mary in any other way than how she was portrayed by Najimy. Our Hocus Pocus collection is a spellbook of style, a dash of whimsy, and a whole lot of love for the movie that taught us that being a little eerie can be utterly endearing. So, whether you’re a casual fan or someone who starts planning Halloween on November 1st, there’s a piece of Hocus Pocus magic waiting here for you. While he didn’t work on Hocus Pocus he did have a special in to secure a cameo. He directed Bette Midler previously in the film Beaches and she and Penny were friends. There’s a Hocus Pocus Sequel Coming Disney
