Hocus Pocus original star Bette Midler is "absolutely" up for filming the sequel.

Disney+ have been working their magic on a second movie of the Halloween 1993 flick which quickly became a phenomenon.

Original witches Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker have yet to be confirmed for reprising their roles as the Sanderson Sisters.

But leading star Bette, 74, confessed she's "absolutely" ready for the follow-up film.

And the actress enthused she "can't wait to fly" again on her broomstick.

She told Entertainment Tonight : "I can't wait to fly."

Bette went on: "We're just talking logistics."

Hocus Pocus centered around three witches who begin their reign of terror after a boy Max lights the cursed Candle of Black Flame and accidentally resurrects them from 300 years ago.

Max teams up with his friends to try and stop the witches from stealing people's youth before it's too late.

Plans for a Hocus Pocus sequel has drummed up excitement on social media from loyal fans of the original.

Among the crowd, one wrote: "Please, please, please say it’s true! The Sanderson Sisters Invade the White House- A Hocus Pocus sequel. And this time the Sanderson sisters win!"

Others added: "Me, it's one of my favorite scenes. I can't wait for the sequel I can't wait for Hocus Pocus 2. The first movie was one of my favorites."

"Hocus Pocus when spooky was not scary. I love this film. A sequel sounds amazing ’I put a spell on you’ mind-blowing. You're awesome !" (sic)

Already Bette, Kathy and Sarah have a reunion on the cards for next month.

The actresses have teamed up for a virtual fundraiser In Search of the Sanderson Sisters: A Hocus Pocus Hulaween Takeover in October.

Cash will be raised for Bette's New York Restoration Project.
