Taken at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, the kids of Hocus Pocus got together for a mini-reunion.
Shared on Instagram by Larry Bagby, who played the bully Ernie aka “Ice,” the group shot shows him posed with Omri Katz and Thora Birch (brother/sister Max and Dani), Doug Jones (the resurrected Billy Butcherson), Vinessa Shaw (Max’s crush Allison) and Tobias Jelenik (Ernie’s sidekick Jay).
Unfortunately, the trio behind the Sanderson Sisters — Bette Midler (Winifred),Kathy Najimy (Mary) and Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah) — weren’t pictured, but we’re still pretty excited about seeing the kids all these years later!
