It’s been 27 years right down to the day (almost) that the Sanderson sisters ran amok, but they’re back for 2020.
Winifred, Mary and Sarah Sanderson, AKA Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker, are donning their witchy costumes for “In Search of the Sanderson Sisters: A Hocus Pocus Hulaween Takeover.”
As part of the preparations, Midler posted a behind-the-scenes photo of the trio getting ready to put a spell on fans.
Normally, Midler throws a Halloween bash to raise money for the New York Restoration Project to help improve the city’s infrastructure and greenery, but with COVID-19, the fundraiser will be held virtually.
In addition to her “sisters,” Midler will be joined by Meryl Streep, Jennifer Hudson, John Stamos and Kenan Thompson among other A-listers, USA Today reported.
The show will be hosted by Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
The cost to attend is $10, which will go to the NYRP. Click here for tickets.
The show will stream Oct. 30 at 8 p.m. ET. It is a one-time broadcast and will not be re-broadcast.

This may not be the last time you see the Sandersons. Midler, Parker and Najimy have all said they’d be up for a sequel to the original 1993 film.
“Oh my goodness me. Oh, I hope they get to me before I’m a corpse. We wanna fly again. I hope Disney+ is a big success and I hope we get to do it, because [Winifred] is of course one of my favorite characters ... I can’t wait to read the script. We’re gonna see what happens," Midler told Entertainment Tonight last year.
She added that the team is looking at logistics in an interview with Entertainment Tonight last month.
In March, Adam Shankman announced on Instagram that he was tapped to direct a sequel, as well as another “Enchanted” film called “Disenchanted,” People magazine reported.
Parker said in an Instagram post all three actors have said yes to a sequel. “Now we wait," Entertainment Weekly reported.
A sequel story was published in book form in 2018.
