Winifred Sanderson is one of the three evil witches in 1993 flic Disney movie Hocus Pocus.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Back in 1693, the woods near the home of Salem where home to three witches. Said witches of the 'ugly, old hag' type, sought to restore their youth by magically stealing that of a young girl. This succeeded in as much as that they turned (somewhat) young again, and failed in as much as that the three were promptly hanged after angry townsfolk stormed their cottage.
300 years later, the cottage of the witches has been turned into a museum, and three kids break into it for Halloween. They promptly run across a magical candle which was prophesied to resurrect the witches if lit by a virgin, and ... look, the boy wasn't even sixteen. Hilarity ensues as a trio of hilariously over-dramatic witches chase after three kids, a cat, and a zombie.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Winifred fought in the Halloween-themed 8chanmania LXVII; having joined the mania so she could use the prize money for various anti-aging products. Totally not for human trafficking. It doesn't matter one way or another, as she immediately was defeated by Shaggy Rogers.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Although flopping as a commercial movie, Hocus Pocus enjoys a cult following for allowing Bette Midler to play a witch. Legend has it the director just told her to act natural.
- Owing to its recent habit to warm up old franchises, Hocus Pocus was given a totally unnecessary prequel-sequel by Disney in 2022. The Sanderson sisters thus joined the ranks of Cruella de Vil.
