It’s been 30 years since the first “Hocus Pocus,” which ended with the Sanderson sisters Winnie , Sarah and Mary disintegrating. The Sanderson sisters are back in “After a brief backstory intro, Salem teen Becca is fooled into lighting the black flame candle by Gilbert , the owner of the magic shop, formerly the Sanderson sisters’ home. And thus, the sisters are resurrected.

The sequel’s director, Anne Fletcher, guided Perez. “She said, ‘I want everything to have a meaning, don’t just arbitrarily put something on it,’” Perez says. Perez took a different approach. He gave the outfits a backstory. “I thought they should have lore to them, so we did this whole concept around the three sisters, powerful goddesses, the three moons: waxing, waning and full, so the images on Winnie’s costumes are all related to that.”

He explains, “In the 1650s, you would never have had embroidered fabric, you would have embroidered the pieces. I went to Eric Winchell in New York, and he beautifully hand-embroidered her corset.” Perez adds, “I found some ancient tapestries that we took the pattern from, and I made it more witchy. As opposed to vines, it was thorns. I added spiders and beetles into it.”

Middle sister Mary had a costume that Perez also refreshed. But again, when looking at the original, he says, “Mary’s costume was made out of plaid with this lace pattern which again made no sense for the 1650s. But tartans have been around for hundreds of years. So, I made her skirt outfit from tartan and I found loose open weave silk that I used for the black and white part.”
