And The Campaign Begins Again: Virgins Are Willing To Volunteer For Hocus Pocus 2

You should never underestimate ’90s kids’ affection for the pop culture staples of our childhoods. For example, yesterday, when Bette Midler – a.k.a. everyone’s favorite ’90s witch – tweeted that Hocus Pocus 2 was being held up due to a lack of virgins, eligible Twitter users answered the call. After all, who could resist the promise of a Sanderson sisters sequel?

Midler tagged her two witchy co-stars, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker, and chose the perfect gif to accompany her very important news bulletin: “@kathynajimy .@SJP Breaking news!! SEQUEL DELAYED!! @Disney having trouble finding a virgin! #HocusPocus”

And then, the virgins began their Twitter campaign – to ensure that Hocus Pocus 2 could light a whole box of black-flame candles.

There were Hunger Games references. There were pleas. Right now, there’s no official (released) plan to shoot a Hocus Pocus sequel. But Twitter has certainly provided Disney with more potential candidates than it could possibly need.
