Things Only True Fans Notice In Hocus Pocus 2
Daniel Cobb
"Hocus Pocus 2" wouldn't be the successful sequel it is if it weren't for all the original catchphrases scattered throughout the film. For starters, actor Sam Richardson, who plays Gilbert, was excited whenever he heard Sarah Jessica Parker get back into her original character. "Sarah gets to say, 'Amok! Amok! Amok! Amok!'" He gushed to E! News. "I'm like, 'Oh, yes!'"
Mary also drops a few fan-favorite lines throughout the film as well — one of which is the iconic "shishka baby," (as a spin on the word "shish kabob"), while referring to a delicious child she hopes to soon devour.
Perhaps one of the most telling lines from the franchise, however, is when Winifred always refers to one of the young girls as a "clever little witch." In the sequel, this Sanderson sister seems to know that Becca is a magical being even before she does.
In the first film, Winifred also refers to Allison in the same way, which has stirred up many fan theories saying that the young girl from the original movie was most likely a witch as well. Though this theory has never been confirmed by the original creators, the actress who played Allison thinks the fans may be on to something. "It was intentionally implied, for sure," actress Vinessa Shaw told The Wrap.
