Ever wondered why Mary Sanderson's iconic crooked smile shifted sides in "Hocus Pocus 2?" The answer, as revealed by the delightful Kathy Najimy herself, is as whimsical and entertaining as the character she embodies. The shift wasn't a conscious decision for character development but rather a happy accident stemming from Najimy's own comfort and preference.
Mary Sanderson, the middle sister of the Sanderson trio, has bewitched audiences since the original "Hocus Pocus" premiered in 1993. Alongside her sisters, Winifred (Bette Midler) and Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker), Mary brought a unique brand of comedic wickedness to the screen. The three witches, hanged during the Salem witch trials, are resurrected three centuries later by a curious teenager named Max Dennison, played by Omri Katz, and his little sister in Salem. Their quest to regain their youth and immortality sets off a series of hilarious and spooky events that have solidified "Hocus Pocus" as a Halloween classic.
