All three actresses shared a picture of themselves in costume, with Reinhart dressed as Sarah Sanderson, Mendes as Mary and Petsch as Winifred. The stars also posted solo pictures of themselves and shared an iconic quote from their character. 

Alongside a photo of them posing in costume, Petsch wrote in the caption, “SISTAAAAAS.” 

According to E! News, the Riverdale stars stepped out and wore their Hocus Pocus costumes to Vas Morgan’s Halloween party and it was truly a star-studded affair in West Hollywood.

The Sanderson Sisters made their whimsical return in the highly anticipated sequel, Hocus Pocus 2. The new installment premiered on Disney+ last month and it follows a high school teenager named Becca (Whitney Peak), who accidentally resurrects the witches—Winifred (Bette Midler), Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Mary (Kathy Najimy). 

After lighting the infamous “Black Flamed Candle” once again, the spell-casting witches return to modern-day Salem in search of children’s souls. Becca teams up with her classmates, Izzy (Belissa Escobedo) and Cassie (Lilia Buckingham), to stop the sisters once and for all.

Oh come on now, it’s just a little hocus pocus.
