The witchy persona of the 70-year-old legendary actress Bette Midler brought back to life as the iconic 'Winnie' character on the 1993 Hocus Pocus comedy horror film at the New York Halloween party last Saturday. Looks like she snaps a throwback for her iconic role 'Winnie', she wears her usual costume get up, the huge red hairdo and big rotten teeth.

The non-profit fundraiser event at the Hullaween Gala people we're so excited to see Midler dressed up as Winifred which will be benefits the New York Restoration Project. It's focusing on communities' needs and New York City's natures projects, also just celebrated their 28th anniversary at the Waldorf Astoria last Oct 28.

The last spooky Saturday fundraiser event had celebrity guests that include Marc Jacobs, Kathy Grifflin, Katy Perry, David Rockwell and Midler's own daughter name Sophie Von Haselberg.

"Winifred Sanderson flies in to Hulaween," Midler share on Twitter and with a picture on Instagram. "Says thanks to everyone who made it such an electrifying evening."

The movie has three evil witch sisters named Kathy Najimy (Mary Sanderson), Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah Sanderson), and Bette Midler (Winifred "Winnie" Sanderson) that accidentally summon by a male teenager in Salem, Massachusetts. It hits 39.5 million dollars on Box office with a budget of 28 million dollars.

Sarah Jessica Parker, who played one the evil witch sisters character name Sarah Sanderson, ask about the sequel on the Watch What Happens Live earlier this month, "I would love that. I think we've all been fairly vocal about being very keen but that hasn't created any groundswell of movement."

The hope still remains in the movie Hocus Pocus in creating a sequel. 'Inundate the Disney company, because I have canvassed the girls and they are willing to do it, but we have no say in it, so if you want a HOCUS POCUS 2, ask the Walt Disney company,' Midler told and convinced fans way back in 2014.
