'Hocus Pocus' Cast: The Kids Are All Grown Up And Bewitchingly Cool

Here's what they're up to now.

Decades later and we're still bewitched by cult classic "Hocus Pocus."

Starring a coven of executed witches, the Disney flick's antagonists are essentials for any Halloween movie marathon. I mean, who doesn't love watching a murderous Sarah Jessica Parker sing little children to their demises, as her sisters Bette Midler and Kathy Najimy cackle for the deaths of trick-or-treaters?

Although the witches endeared and terrorized us, it was the film's brave kids who were the real heroes. Max, Dani and Allison, who were played by Omri Katz, Thora Birch and Vinessa Shaw, respectively, showed exemplary bravery when faced with supernatural forces. And it helps that they had a feline friend, too.

With a sequel hovering in the air, "Hocus Pocus" nostalgia is in full force. So after all this time, what are those beloved child stars up to?

Our hearts exploded last year, after the golden trio posted a reunion photo on Instagram.


To find out where they all landed in life, you'll need to watch the video above.

As for the other kids?

Sean Murray, who played the boy-turned-cat Thackery, kept acting. Right now, he portrays Timothy McGee on the TV series "NCIS."

What happened to Emily, Thackery's poor sister killed by the witches, is a trickier story. For years, Jodie-Amy Rivera was commonly referred to as the actress behind Emily, even bearing an IMDB listing. But the real actress, as revealed by Cosmopolitian, is Amanda Shepherd. Last year, the publication interviewed Shepherd and found out that she's now selling luxury real estate in Malibu.
