‘Hocus Pocus’ director Kenny Ortega revealed plans for a spinoff that confirmed the years-long theory Vinessa Shaw’s character is a witch
Hocus Pocus director Kenny Ortega believes there may have been one more witch running amok in Salem besides just the Sanderson sisters.
Following the film's release, Shaw’s character sparked fan theories that she may have magical abilities. In one pivotal scene, she sprinkles salt around her to ward off the evil trio, prompting Winifred to call her a “clever little witch.” Ortega also felt that while he never discussed the theory with Shaw directly, the actress’ performance naturally hinted at her being of the supernatural.
Shaw didn’t return for the highly-anticipated sequel, but Escobedo, 25, previously revealed that she was initially written into the story. 'She was going to be our schoolteacher,' she told EW in 2022. 'I remember talking to Anne about it being a thing where she was our teacher, and we went to her for help.'
As for those witchy rumors? Shaw agrees Allison is more than just a mere mortal — and believes that her wardrobe in the film further proves the theory.
