‘Hocus Pocus’ Reunion Reveals Leonardo DiCaprio’s Audition, Binx’s Voice Change and More Set Secrets

The affection for the 1993 film Hocus Pocus was on full display at 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut, on October 18, 2026, where fans packed the theater to see director Kenny Ortega reunite with Hocus Pocus stars Omri Katz, Thora Birch, Vinessa Shaw, Jason Marsden, Larry Bagby, and Tobias Jelinek.

For plenty of movie fans, Halloween season doesn’t officially begin until somebody lights the Black Flame Candle. More than three decades after Hocus Pocus first brought the Sanderson sisters back from the dead, the movie has become as much a part of October as jack-o’-lanterns, trick-or-treating and trying to decide which candy to keep for yourself.
