A concerned mum is warning parents to think twice before allowing children to watch Disney+’s long-awaited Hocus Pocus sequel claiming that nothing good can come from exposing kids to fictional witches.
The Texas based mother has warned that the highly anticipated Halloween flick could “unleash hell” on your children through the television screen.
Mum-of-three Jamie Gooch, who says she hasn’t celebrated Halloween in around four or five years, urged parents not to watch the new fantasy comedy in a since-deleted Facebook post, asking them to ‘beware’.

Speaking about the 1993 remake of family-friendly hit Hocus Pocus 2, Gooch told news station KWTX. “The whole movie is based on witches harvesting children for blood sacrifices.”

The original Hocus Pocus follows the Sanderson sisters, Winifred, Sarah and Mary, who are accidentally revived in modern-day Salem, Massachusetts — home of the infamous witch trials — and begin killing children to consume their souls in order to stay young forever.
In the sequel, the trio, reprised again by original cast Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker, sought to cast a spell that would make them all-powerful, so they could have their revenge on the historical city.

“Do not watch this film,” Gooch advised. “Everybody thinks it’s fake and innocent, but they could be casting any type of spell that they want to, anything could be coming through that TV screen into your home.”
Gooch said she is a Christian woman whose family has not celebrated Halloween for “four or five years” now. “It grieves me, the thought of exposing our kids to darkness,” she told local media.

But come spooky season, Gooch felt the need to make a Facebook post about the new film to get other mums thinking about what kind of horrors their children are consuming.
“I was a little bit scared when I hit ‘post’ because I was afraid of the reaction that I would get . . . the post was for people who’ve been on the fence on the decisions they need to make for their family,” Gooch explained, revealing an overwhelming majority of the response has been positive.
“It was wonderful in a sense that a lot of people agreed with me in that they already knew, there were some that didn’t understand, but it was welcomed: Tell me your opinion. I want to hear where you’re coming from, although it doesn’t change my convictions or what I choose to do with my family,” she added.
