In Disney's 1993 comedy fantasy, Hocus Pocus, Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy starred as three witch sisters resurrected after 300 years in Salem, Massachusetts on Halloween.

Winifred Sanderson in Hocus Pocus
At this year's Disney D23 Expo they had these three fantastic costumes worn by the lead actresses on display in the Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives exhibit on August 19, 2011.
Bette Midler stars as the eldest and leader of the Sanderson sisters, Winifred 'Winnie' Sanderson, and probably for this reason and the fact that she was the most famous actress in the movie, wore the most beautiful outfit in these rich emerald green and purple colours.

In addition to Winifred's spectacular wardrobe, they also had this fantastic statue of the witch on display that was featured at the end of the movie when she is turned to stone.

Finally, Sister Act's 'Sister Mary Patrick', Kathy Najimy, played 'Mary Sanderson' the third witch sister, and she wore this costume designed by Mary E. Vogt. You can also see more of the designer's work in the Men in Black movies, Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Inspector Gadget.
