For those skeptical, I was too. Making a sequel of a classic doesn't always pan out. However, this new installment is fun and much more uplifting than the original. The Sanderson sisters (original cast don't worry) return to Salem and do all they can to survive until sunrise...again. It has new songs and has the … Continue reading Hocus Pocus 2

There are tons of cameos of … Continue reading Senior Year
