Is Vinessa Shaw in Hocus Pocus 2?

While Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy all reprise their roles as the three villainous witches in the sequel, there were some notable absences.

For one, the main protagonists of the original film Omri Katz’s Max Dennison and Vinessa Shaw’s Allison Watts don’t appear in the movie.

Vinessa began her career as a child actor and had her break-out role in Hocus Pocus.

Shaw was in the 2007 remake of the classic Western film 3:10 to Yuma with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale, the indie drama film Garden Party, as well as having a leading role in Two Lovers alongside Joaquin Phoenix and Gwyneth Paltrow.
