Attention Hocus Pocus fans — You’ll want to check this out.
There will be a brand new Hocus Pocus board game coming out in time for this Halloween season! That means you can play the Hocus Pocus game with your sisters while watching the Sanderson Sisters in the movie! (Double the fun!)
Recently at Toy Fair 2020, Ravensburger officially announced the release of a new, family fun board game all themed around the Halloween classic — Hocus Pocus.
Players will work together to ruin the potions concocted by the legendary Sanderson sisters to save the lives of Salem’s children before the sun rises! Fans of the movie will recognize favorite spells, appearances by characters like Binx the cat and Billy Butcherson, and for an extra bonus, the game box is designed to look like none other than “Book.” The game includes plenty of other creepy details you love about the film, but the fantastical illustrations are tame enough for even your youngest gamers.
It looks as though the new Hocus Pocus board game will be released come August 2020 and it will be for players ages 8 & up.
In the meantime, you can watch Hocus Pocus on Disney’s new streaming service, Disney+. The official description of the popular Halloween film reads:After moving to Salem, Mass., teenager Max Dennison (Omri Katz) explores an abandoned house with his sister Dani (Thora Birch) and their new friend, Allison (Vinessa Shaw). After dismissing a story Allison tells as superstitious, Max accidentally frees a coven of evil witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy) who used to live in the house. Now, with the help of a magical cat, the kids must steal the witches’ book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal.If you are not yet signed up for Disney’s streaming service, you can subscribe online here.
I wonder if Bette or any of the girls get any of the royalties from this project. The amount of stuff they sell in spirit halloween not to mention at the Disney Parks during Halloween is staggering.
I’m not sure, but knowing Disney’s reputation for being kind of cheap, I’m betting they don’t, but they should.
Thanks for your informational reply. What do you know about the game? It looks very interesting.
Now that, I don’t know. I should look into it. D
