Stephanie Faracy Pays Tribute to Madonna in 'Nobody Wants This' and Hints at 'Hocus Pocus 3' Possibility
Stephanie Faracy, known for her role as Max Dennison's mom in the iconic movie "Hocus Pocus," recently donned a Madonna-inspired Halloween costume on the Netflix series "Nobody Wants This." The red outfit pays homage to Madonna's Blond Ambition tour look, which Faracy originally wore in the "I Put a Spell On You" musical number in "Hocus Pocus." In the show, she sported the cone bra, high ponytail, and headset, but this time in all gold. Her character's daughter, Joanne, compliments her on the outfit, to which Lynn responds humorously about Jewish Halloween being fun.
"Hocus Pocus" follows the story of Max, Dani, and Allison, who accidentally resurrect three vengeful witches on Halloween night. Tobias Jelinek, who played bully Jay in the original film, expressed interest in reprising his role for a potential third movie. The sequel, "Hocus Pocus 2," is in the works at Disney, with writer Jen D'Angelo exploring new ideas and characters for the beloved franchise.
Bette Midler, who portrayed Winifred Sanderson in the original film, has been vocal about her desire for a third installment. She urged Disney to complete the script for "Hocus Pocus 3," emphasizing the importance of seizing the opportunity while the original cast is still available. Despite initial mixed reviews, "Hocus Pocus" has gained a cult following over the years, becoming a beloved classic among fans.
