Stars of “Hocus Pocus” are attempting to cast a spell in an effort to get Americans out to vote in the upcoming election.
The stars, Sarah Jessica Parker, Bette Midler and Kathy Najimy, posted a video on Monday, where Parker said, “It’s a very big deal, this election, obviously.”
She continued, “Because so many young people felt disenfranchised in the last election for whatever reason, my fervent hope is that those that sat out will decide that even if a candidate can’t get them to the exact destination point, [voting in this election is] the opportunity to get so much closer to where this country needs to be.”
Midler also noted that “there is nothing more important than your right to vote.”
She later said, “I do think there is something we can do about it,” before Najimy added, “No, we shouldn’t.” Parker chimed in, “Dare we?”
Midler then said, “Well, it would take a flash and we would definitely increase voter turnout.” The three actors of the 1993 film then pretended to cast a spell similar to one from the movie. “Get these voters to the polls,” Midler said, before all three shouted, “Make them vote!”
