We continue Horrortober with a bonus episode on a film that's been in development hell for over 20 years but it's finally here Hocus Pocus 2. Starring Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker, the trio return as the Sanderson Sisters to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting Salem, Massachusetts. This time, another group of teens is tasked with stopping them, or ya know, trying to redeem child murders, whichever makes less sense.

Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard joins Chris to talk all about the film, the fact that it exists, and it being complete tone deaf to the original film.
