Hocus Pocus 2 premiered on Disney+ on September 30, 2022, and saw the Sanderson sisters make their way back onscreen in incredible style, as they danced to the tune of “The Witches Are Back.” Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy couldn’t have made a better entrance as they reprised their roles as the Sanderson sisters 29 years after the original Hocus Pocus film premiered. The trio transitioned seamlessly into Hocus Pocus 2 as if no time had passed at all. Meanwhile, it was largely thanks to the work of Hocus Pocus 2 Costume Designer Salvador Perez, that the Sanderson sisters could make such a fashionable and smooth transition.

While the Sanderson sisters’ original costumes were iconic, after 29 years they needed an upgrade and Perez accepted the challenge. The versatile and talented costume designer’s impressive resume extends back to the 1990s when he worked as a Costume Manufacturing Foreman or Assistant Costume Designer on films such as Titanic, Barb Wire, and The Flintstones. In recent years, Perez has worked as a Costume Designer on projects including The Mindy Project, Castle, Never Have I Ever, and Senior Year.
