Not only is Omri Katz representing “Hocus Pocus” at events, but he remains close with his former castmates, too. In 2021, he told TMZ that some of them even contact each other around Halloween every year, which of course, is when the movie takes place. “I talk to many of the cast members from time to time,” Katz said, but clarified he lost touch with “the witches,” (i.e., Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker). He blamed that on how busy they are, which is probably true because they remain the most famous of the cast. Yet, Katz added, “In terms of other cast members, like Vinessa [Shaw] and Thora [Birch], yeah, we talk and we get together once in a while.”
It probably helps that Shaw and Birch have attended many of the same conventions Katz has. In 2019, for example, he posted a photo with a few of their other co-stars from when they appeared at the 31 Nights of Halloween Fanfest for Freeform. In the caption of an Instagram selfie of them together, Katz wrote, “Reunited and feels so good!”
Shaw has also posted several photos from when her and Katz were together at different events, which make it obvious they’re actually friends. For instance, in the caption of an Instagram photo she posted with Katz and some of the “Hocus Pocus” cast, she wrote, “Giggling and smiling so much my cheeks hurt!”
