Original Hocus Pocus cast reunite in Salem 30 years after original movie release

To commemorate 30 years since the movie’s debut, the original cast of the Halloween movie Hocus PocuS has reunited.

The three Sanderson sisters’ return on Halloween is the subject of a 1993 movie, and the star cast has since reconnected. As the stars of the popular movie came to Salem, Max Dennison, Dani Dentson, Thackeray Binks, and Allison all made a comeback.

To commemorate three decades since the movie’s debut and its popularity as a Halloween staple, Thora Birch (Dani Dennison), Vinessa Shaw (Allison), Omri Katz (Max Dents), and Jason Marsden (voice of Thackery Binx) traveled to the town where the first movie is set.

For the first time in 30 years, four members of Hocus Pocu’s cast have reunited (Facebook).

The four stars have never before reunited, and fans flocked to see them. While Sarah Jessica Parker, Bette Midler, and Kathy Najimy played the three Sanderson sisters, it didn’t seem to dampen the eerie atmosphere because the actors continued to draw in moviegoers.

The cast posed with fans at various locations throughout Salem as well as outside the Dennison family’s home. Speaking ahead of the reunion, Joe Manganaro, a host of Horror Squad, said: “Omri was here for the first time since he filmed the movie 30 years ago, and this year marks the four of them’s first reunion.” It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance for people to see that, and it’ll be fantastic for them to experience Salem and visit the filming locations.

Allison and Max were portrayed by Vinessa Shaw and Omri Katz in the 1993 Walt Disney Pictures movie.

The cast has previously mentioned being a part of the Hocus-Pokus set. In a memorable scene where the witches sing “I Put A Spell On You,” Vinessa previously discussed the energy on set for Entertainment Weekly. We were young actors, and we were only given a set amount of time, so I don’t recall much rehearsal, she said. When I first entered, everyone was perspiring. There was a lot of heat. The last few seconds were being practiced by everyone. There was a lot of energy. It felt alive because every character and costume was truly invested in it. I recall the actors being very interested in playing the Supremes. The song was explosive when it first started.

Vinessa Shaw played Allison (Walt Disney Pictures), and Thora Birch played Dani.

Whitney Peak, Hannah Waddingham, and Sam Richardson joined the cast in a sequel that was released last year after the film’s success. The three Sanderson sisters were also reintroduced. Since the first movie came out, it has become a staple of Halloween celebrations all over the world, including in Disney Parks.

Krishnan Guru-Murthy’s “hot” wife – blind date, Strictly insecurities and stunning wedding

What is Krishnan Guru-Murthy’s life like off-screen? He is one of the most well-known faces on Channel 4 News.

On the BBC dance show, the 53-year-old is currently impressing the judges with his covert actions. You must watch the 90s classic Boom Shack-A-Lack if you haven’t already.

Krishnan, however, is a devoted husband to his 18-year-old wife Lisa, whom he wed in February 2005, when not shimmying on Strictly or breaking the news. Jay, a 16-year-old son, and daughter Jasmine, 18, are the couple’s other two children.

When asked how they met, Krishnan revealed that their mutual friend Tim Hincks had set up a blind date. Tim introduced me to Lisa, who collaborated with his wife Pippa, while we were working on a show. We now play in a band together, which is much more significant. However, we never discuss rock and roll with wives because they don’t take us seriously.

Krishnan, who doesn’t frequently post on Instagram, showed Lisa wearing a blue sari to his traditional Indian wedding day. He wrote, “I can’t believe it’s been 14 years,” to commemorate their 14th wedding anniversary in 2019. I’m extremely fortunate.

He described their wedding festivities as a “real mixture of Indian and British culture” when asked about them. He continued, “I played a few rock ‘n’ roll songs,” showcasing his hidden talent that had become an integral part of his big day. Due to the fact that I was the worst guitarist among the three of us, I sang and played bass. In a previous interview with The Guardian, he said, “Let’s just say the crowd was on our side.

In contrast to her illustrious husband, Lisa is not well-known and has little information about her profession. Krishnan, however, recently admitted that after “being asked for years,” his wife gave him strict instructions.

He claimed that after turning 53 in April, he came to the realization that Lisa was “looking hot” after transforming her own fitness by joining a rowing club and running 10 miles every other day. He describes Lisa as “overweight and unattractive.”

With his moves on Strictly with partner Lauren Oakley (PA), Krishnan has astounded fans and judges.

His wife isn’t complaining that he has lost almost three stone since then and only needs seven fewer holes to fasten his trouser belt. “My wife is enjoying that I am a little lighter than I was,” he said to MailOnline. I suppose I’ve been attempting to follow her. She must be happy that I’ve started to gather myself, get in shape, and look a little more presentable.

I have a slight obsession with being ugly and overweight. Although she has always referred to me as being healthy, my wife has never used those words. Men have grown insecure about having hot wives because women in their 50s and my wife and her friends all look amazing.

If you find yourself in a situation where all the women are attractive but the men are overweight and have beer bellies, I don’t think it’s necessarily bad if men gather themselves because their wives are looking hotter than they are.

“I believe you put yourself in a situation where you give up and believe everything is okay. I’ve only just gotten there.

“Women led the way; they were the ones who did it first.” Men have grown insecure about having hot wives because women in their 50s, my wife, and her friends all look amazing.

Krishnan has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a genetic heart condition that causes him to “drop dead” at any time if he pushes his heart too hard. Despite strictly following his diet plan for weight loss and fun, doctors have warned him of this. He claims, however, that he finally understood how important it was for him to appear on the BBC program right away or risk being “too decrepit” to do so.

On Saturday, October 7, at 6:20 p.m., BBC1 will broadcast “Strictly Come Dancing.”
