🕯️ The Black Flame Candle is burning once again — but this time, it’s not just the Sanderson sisters who are causing fear.
After nearly three decades as a Halloween icon, the Hocus Pocus franchise returns with its third installment, Rise of the Coven — a familiar yet bold chapter that promises to expand the magical world of Salem to epic proportions.
✨ Plot
Becca, Izzy, and Cassie — the trio of young witches introduced in the previous installment — continue their journey to discover the magic that runs in their blood. When an ancient grimoire buried in the ruins of the Sanderson home is resurrected, it wields a power even more dangerous and dark than Winifred’s book.
This magical force unwittingly brings the Sanderson Sisters (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy) back from the dead. But this time, their goal is no longer chaos or revenge. Instead, they face a more dire threat: an ancient coven of exiled witches, now resurrected under the guidance of a charismatic and ruthless Supreme Witch, bent on wiping out the Sanderson name and taking over all of Salem.
⚔️ Highlights
An Unexpected Alliance: For the first time, the terror-stricken Sanderson Sisters are forced to join forces with a younger generation of witches to fight a common enemy.
Typical Halloween atmosphere: The film retains the satirical humor and familiar ghostly colors, but is expanded into a dramatic and emotional story.
Expanding the Salem legend: Not only evoking nostalgia, Rise of the Coven also delves into the witch legacy, revealing secrets never before told.
🌙 Why is it worth waiting for?
Hocus Pocus 3: Rise of the Coven is not simply a sequel, but a major transformation for the entire franchise. The combination of classic humor and new depth helps the film both satisfy longtime audiences and attract a new generation. This promises to be the greatest magical battle in Salem history, where legendary witches and their young descendants together decide the future of the night.
✨ When the witches rise… who will rule the night?
