After nearly three decades, fans are finally able to catch up with the Sanderson Sisters in Hocus Pocus 2 on Disney+. Both the kid and adult version, in fact. Which was a lovely surprise.

Note: Some spoilers are Hocus Pocus 2 are ahead.

Hocus Pocus 2 opens on the young Sanderson sisters hiding in the Forbidden Woods when the people of Salem try to separate them. Winnie, Sarah, and Mary meet a witch who sets them on their famous path.

Young Winnifred Sanderson

Taylor Paige-Henderson plays young Winnie, and she’s pitch perfect as the de facto head of the sisters, taking matters into her own hands.

Winnifred Sanderson Now

Bette Midler is back in her iconic role as Winnifred Sanderson, eater of children and singer of songs.

Young Mary Sanderson

Little Mary Sanderson, played by Nina Christina Kitchen, is all about keeping her sisters calm in that calming circle. Especially volatile Winnie.

Mary Sanderson Now

It’s tough to tell if poor Mary Sanderson (Kathy Najimy) is really as witchy as her sisters or just really wants to keep Winnifred happy. Either way, she’s hilarious.

Young Sarah Sanderson

Juju Journey Brenner as young Sarah Sanderson embodies the spirit of her as an adult; vain, silly, and ready to follow her sisters to the ends of the earth.

Sarah Sanderson Now

As the youngest of the Sanderson Sisters, Sarah (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) plays an important role. She’s the one whose song puts children in a trance so they can all eat them. Nice to have a hobby.

If you can think of a better way to ring in the spooky month of October than lighting your own Black Flame Candle to summon the Sanderson Sisters, young and old(er) in Hocus Pocus 2 on Disney+, tell me. I’ll wait.
