As if a Hocus Pocus reunion wasn’t exciting enough, fans can grab some witches brew at a bewitching new pop-up bar in Chicago.
Beginning Saturday (October 24), I Put a Spell on You will open in West Town to fans of the favorite 1993 Halloween film, starring Bette Midler (Winifred Sanderson), Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah Sanderson) and Kathy Najimy (Mary Sanderson).
I Put a Spell On You, operated by Fifty-50’s pop-up team, joins a long list of pop-up culture attractions in Chicago.
Fifty/50s also initiated Die Hard-, Princess Bride-, and Honey, I Shrunk The Kids-inspired pop-ups, according to Eater Chicago.
The publication also listed some Hocus Pocus-themed beverage and food options, including the Black Flame Candle, the California Laid Back Tie Dye Point of View, I Wanna See Her Turn to Dust and the Devil Himself.
Of course, it’ll be Instagrammable.
I Put a Spell On You will have a spot for photo opps with items inspired by movie props, like a cauldron and spell book.
Earlier this month, Midler confirmed that a reunion is happening with costars and fellow Sanderson sisters Parker and Najimy. The hour-long virtual reunion, “In Search of The Sanderson Sisters, A Hocus Pocus Hulaween Takeover,” will be packed with a star-studded lineup and will benefit New York City charities.
Fans can catch the pop-up bar in Chicago through November 8.
