The 1993 Halloween-themed movie starred Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy as witches who terrorised the children of Salem, MA.
The Kenny Ortega-directed film has developed a cult following and this week rumours emerged that a sequel titled Hocus Pocus 2: Rise of the Elderwitch is to be produced.
Disney has now addressed the sequel claims in a statement to The Huffington Post.
"The studio is not developing a sequel to Hocus Pocus," a Disney spokesperson insisted.
The cast of the original Hocus Pocus featured a young Thora Birch and Omri Katz in addition to Parker, Midler and Najimy.

Excellent. Some films do not need sequels and prequels.
