Pickleball Hocus Pocus: Movie | Sequel | Pickleball Sister Witches
Introducing our latest Halloween Pickleball Collection design, Pickleball Casts a Spell on You, inspired by everyone’s favorite trio of witches from the 1993 cult classic Hocus Pocus. Our design reimagines the Sanderson Sisters as green pickleballs, each wearing their iconic hairstyles and colors as they hover above a pickleball paddle.

Let’s dive into the magical world of Hocus Pocus, its legendary witches, and the design that brings the Sanderson Sisters to the pickleball court this Halloween.
The Movie: Hocus Pocus (1993)
Hocus Pocus premiered in 1993 and, while it initially didn’t have major box-office success, it has since become a Halloween cult favorite, beloved for its humor, charm, and, of course, the unforgettable Sanderson Sisters. Directed by Kenny Ortega, the film takes place in Salem, Massachusetts, and follows a group of kids who accidentally resurrect a trio of witches that were executed 300 years earlier during the infamous Salem Witch Trials. These witches—Winifred, Sarah, and Mary Sanderson—are intent on becoming immortal by stealing the life force of children, and it’s up to the kids (and a magical black cat named Thackery Binx) to stop them.
The movie is a perfect blend of spooky fun and family-friendly humor, making it a Halloween must-watch for generations. It also features standout performances from its cast, particularly the three actresses who play the Sanderson Sisters:
- Bette Midler as Winifred Sanderson: The leader of the trio, Winifred is smart, cunning, and has a sharp tongue. Known for her iconic red updo and green dress, she’s the mastermind behind the witches’ wicked plans.
- Sarah Jessica Parker as Sarah Sanderson: The ditzy yet alluring sister, Sarah is known for her long blonde hair, her hypnotic singing voice, and her whimsical personality.
- Kathy Najimy as Mary Sanderson: Mary, the third sister, is loyal to Winifred and often serves as comic relief. With her signature black and purple hair, she has the ability to sniff out children, making her an important part of the trio’s hunt for immortality.
The Return of the Sanderson Sisters: Hocus Pocus 2 (2022)
The Hocus Pocus magic was reignited in 2022 with the release of Hocus Pocus 2, which brought back the Sanderson Sisters for more mayhem and mischief. Directed by Anne Fletcher, the long-awaited sequel was released on Disney+ and featured the original cast reprising their roles. The storyline follows a new group of teenagers in modern-day Salem who accidentally summon the Sanderson Sisters once again, leading to another night of spooky adventure.
While the sequel stayed true to the spirit of the original, it also updated the story for a new generation, mixing nostalgia with fresh humor and heart. Fans of the first movie were thrilled to see their favorite witches back in action, and Hocus Pocus 2 became a hit, cementing the legacy of the Sanderson Sisters in Halloween culture.
