Hocus Pocus 2 Storyline
The storyline of Hpcus Pocus 2 is set in 1653 Salem. Reverend Traske dismissed a young Winifred Sanderson after she withstood church authority by refusing to wed John Pritchett. Rather than allow her sisters, Mary and Sarah, to be taken from her, Winifred runs to a forbidden forest with them. There they meet Mother Witch, who gifts Winifred her magic Book for her sixteenth birthday but explicitly warns the sisters against casting a spell known as the Magicae Maxima, which makes the user all-powerful. Mother Witch also teaches the sisters to retain their youthfulness by killing children.
In 2022, twenty-nine years after the Black Flame Candle resurrected the Sanderson sisters, Salem teenagers Becca and Izzy prepare to celebrate Halloween and Becca’s sixteenth birthday but turn down a party invitation from their estranged friend, Cassie Traske. Becca and Izzy visit a magic shop (formerly the Sanderson cottage) run by Gilbert, who gifts Becca a candle for their annual birthday ritual.
The girls light the candle and discover that it is another Black Flame Candle. As there is a full moon and the girls are both virgins, the candle resurrects the Sanderson sisters once again. The girls outwit the sisters in a local Walgreens and escape to the magic shop, where they discover that Gilbert tricked them into reviving the witches, having seen them on Halloween in 1993 and being taught how to make the candle by Book.
The sisters catch up to the girls and see a campaign flyer belonging to Mayor Jefry Traske, Cassie’s father and Reverend Traske’s descendant. Winifred arranges they will cast the Magicae Maxima spell to eliminate him and take vengeance on Salem. The sisters trap Izzy and Becca in the basement and leave to hunt down Traske, whose blood is needed to conclude the spell. They force Gilbert to collect the other ingredients.
