Hocus Pocus Cast
Less than a minute ago by Breakstudios
The “Hocus Pocus” cast is amazing. The cast showcases a major star as well as some up-and-comers. “Hocus Pocus” is all about the spooky world of Halloween and what happens when a 300 year old curse is brought back to life.
Bette Midler Perfectly cast as the oldest of the three witch sisters, she makes sure everyone is in line and focuses on the pocus at hand. Playing Winnie, Midler is nothing short of hilarious and evil. From her costume to hair and make up, she exudes the energy it takes to be the leader of an evil pack of ambitious witches in “Hocus Pocus.”
Sarah Jessica Parker Playing Sarah, Parker is the one-stop character for lustful witchery. As the dumb blonde who hopelessly follows her eldest sister, Sarah uses her sexuality to seduce men to help them. She is brilliant in her attempts to balance humor and sex and serves as the sex kitten for the “Hocus Pocus” cast.
Kathy Najimy Playing the outcast of the three witch sister, Najimy executed dim-wit perfectly with her slacked jaw and crossed eyes. Playing Mary, Najimy acts as the subtle blend that keeps the sisters together. The “Hocus Pocus” cast was well served with her acting abilities.
Omri Katz Katz plays the virgin Max that accidently summons the witches back from the dead and must break the curse that has done so. He is a protector, but he has a weakness: the beautiful girl from school. His eyes are wide and curious and he is nothing short of clumsy in “Hocus Pocus.”
Thora Birch As Max’s innocent little sister Dani, Birch plays the light in her brother’s life. She is funny, youthful and represents what the three witches are after: the public’s youth in order to live forever. She keeps things light and shows the viewers what is at stake in “Hocus Pocus.”
Vinessa Shaw Playing the love interest in the movie, Shaw is the third musketeer trying to stop the witches. As Allison, she is willing to accept Max as the new kid, just as long as he can save her life. Shaw is sultry but not dangerous, youthful but still mature. The “Hocus Pocus” cast gets its final piece of the puzzle complete with her.
