Almost 30 years after the original film, Disney has confirmed an official release date for Hocus Pocus 2, directed by Anne Fletcher and written by Jen D'Angelo. 

A popular childhood favourite and certified cult classic in fantasy comedy horror, the original film—released 1993—tells the story of a young boy who moves to Salem and inadvertently awakens a trio of diabolical witches that were executed in the 17th century.
