![]() ![]() Her outfit was meant to look like a witch baker. So she looked like the cook witch - she was busy doing things. Kathy was more like an alchemist, the one who was always mixing the potions. She was the most princess-like of the three witches, so Vogt got her inspiration from Sleeping Beauty.įor Mary Sanderson, played by Kathy Najimy, Vogt was inspired by a classic "baker" look: Sarah Sanderson, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, influenced her costume with her childlike personality, both as an actress and in her role. Knowing that as Winifred Sanderson, Bette Midler's hair would be bright red in the film, Vogt chose a green costume for color contrast, with purple accents. You have to put her in something that’s colorful and fun and has a little sparkle to it." When I talked about my vision for Bette, I said, "You can’t put her in some black witch outfit. In an interview with Glamour, Vogt explained: When asked about the process of designing costumes for the sisters, Vogt said the personalities of the three actresses and their characters played a huge role in the way the costumes turned out. The Sanderson Sisters' iconic costumes were created by master costume designer Mary Vogt, who has also worked on films like Men in Black and Naked Gun. They had to reshoot the scene, but it was well worth it. Jones said that on the first take of the moth scene, a stage light went out, so he was left with a mouth full of moths and dust while they fixed the issue. Basic Information Name Thackery Binx Status Life: Deceased Afterlife: Moved on Date of death OctoSiblings Sister: Emily Binx (d. In the scene, he cuts open his mouth for the opportunity to call Winifred a wench after centuries of wanting to get her back. In the scene, Billy has been brought back to life by his vengeful ex, Winifred Sanderson (Bette Midler), who had killed him and sewed his mouth shut for cheating on her with Sarah Sanderson, her youngest sister, played by Sarah Jessica Parker. Then, an animal expert individually placed each moth in his mouth, along with some dust. In the movie, witches aren't allowed on sacred ground, so Allison, Max, Dani, and Binx all flee to a graveyard to escape their wrath.Īccording to Jones, the special effects artists created a dental dam just for him, as any moisture can harm or kill moths. He explained how the crew created the effect of dust and moths exploding from his mouth when the stitches sewing his lips shut came loose. Binx not returning was for the best.In a 20th anniversary interview with the cast, Doug Jones, who played reanimated corpse Billy Butcherson, reminded us that the film used no CGI. When asked about the potential return of Max, Dani, Allison, and Binx, Fletcher said she decided to avoid it as she couldn’t find a way to include them in the story organically. In fact, the same goes for all the original kids who don't reappear in Hocus Pocus 2. It wouldn't have made sense to bring Binx back because he no longer fits into the story. ![]() Much like the original movie, Hocus Pocus 2 opens with a flashback to the 1600s, only this time it follows the story of young Winifred, Sarah, and Mary and their fight to stay together. While Binx’s story was the heart of Hocus Pocus, it can be argued that the Sanderson sisters’ story is the heart of Hocus Pocus 2. There are many original Hocus Pocus Easter eggs throughout the sequel, but the ones that reference Binx were included as a nod to “ the heart” of the first film, according to Hocus Pocus 2 director Anne Fletcher. It makes no sense to revisit Binx’s story, but references to this iconic character are welcomed. The audience watches his entire story play out from its beginning to its bittersweet end. The nod to Binx with Cobweb is a nice one, but nothing more should be read into it.īinx is introduced in the opening scene of Hocus Pocus, and as a result, he and his story are what ground the entire film. Binx doesn’t return for the sequel because it doesn’t make sense for his character to return after the first film’s events, and it doesn’t fit the Hocus Pocus 2 storyline. The end of the original movie wrapped their story up perfectly, thus making it unfair and impossible to have a Binx and Emily cameo in Hocus Pocus 2. At the end of the original Hocus Pocus, Binx finally finds peace and his spirit reunites with his sister Emily in the afterlife. While Cobweb is another canny black cat, he is just a very clever kitty. However, Binx is not secretly Gilbert’s pet black cat, Cobweb, despite people’s desire to see him return for the sequel.
