In the end credit scene, Cobweb jumps onto Gilbert’s desk, before leaping onto the bookshelf behind it where a series of wooden boxes are lined up, including the one he draws attention to. While Binx isn’t in Hocus Pocus 2, Cobweb certainly filled the void left behind by the adorable black cat, and it seems fitting that the feline should be the one to close out the film and tease what might be on the horizon for the newly minted franchise.

It’s a surprisingly somber and touching end to the Sanderson Sisters' story-but the door to Hocus Pocus is far from shut. But, of course, she doesn’t want to be separated from her sisters and in the end, she relinquishes control and lets herself be turned to shimmery dust so she can join her sisters in whatever afterlife has been afforded to them. As the 17th-century flashbacks revealed, their descent into witchy mayhem was sparked by Winnie’s desire to stay with her sisters in the face of great adversity, and in the end, their unity is what she has to sacrifice. Rather than granting them their long-coveted wish, Winnie achieves her dream at the cost of her sisters’ lives. Unfortunately, once Winnie’s beloved spellbook chooses Becca and their spells go awry, Winnie learns that all magic comes at a price, and this time it’s a steep price to pay.
In order to achieve their desperate attempt at eternal youth and immortality, Winnie (Midler) and her sisters once again seek out the ingredients they need to complete their spell, and this time their enemy comes in the form of Cassie Traske ( Lilia Buckingham), the descendant of the reverend who hung the sisters. While the original Hocus Pocus felt like the end of the story, there was still plenty of room for Disney to revisit the sisters and their story and Hocus Pocus 2 proves that you can smartly lean into nostalgia with a legacy sequel, without sacrificing quality-though there definitely are sacrifices! You can’t have Hocus Pocus and the Sanderson Sisters without some casual, garden-variety child sacrifices.
