"Now the witch is back, and there's hell to pay."

Oh, look, another glorious trailer. It makes me ... excited!

The Sanderson sisters are returning and it's not just a bunch of hocus pocus. So, grab your broomsticks because Disney has released an official trailer teasing a sequel to 1993'swildly popular "Hocus Pocus."

Played by the original witches themselves, Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy have returned to put a spell on you. The original movie saw three witches – Winifred, Sarah and Mary – awaken from their 300-year slumber in Salem, Massachusetts, when a virgin named Max Dennison (played by Omri Katz) lights the black flame candle.

In "Hocus Pocus 2," the three sisters are brought back from the grave when two teenage girls relight the notorious candle.

Much of the new trailer features the young girls but the iconic trio appears near the end of the 1:20 clip as Midler's famous character yells, "Lock up your children! Yes, Salem, we're back!" — proving "some legends never die."

Mischief is sure to be running amok, amok, amok as the sisters visit a carnival and an attendee says, "Hey, it's the Sanderson sisters! I bet you're looking for the stage." Winifred smiles along with Sarah on her left and Mary and her right.

"Always," the eldest sister says knowingly.

Other fan-favorites could be noted in the trailer like music from the original movie, Winifred's spell book, a black cat eerily similar to Thackery Binx's and the tombstone of William "Billy" Butcherson, the misunderstood but ultimately beloved zombie.

Much of the long-awaited sequel was filmed in southern New England. It will premiere on Disney+ Sept. 30, 2022 — right in time for the Halloween season.

"Come little children, I'll take thee away. Into a land of enchantment. Come little children, the time's come to play. Here in my garden of magic."
