The actor also dished with EW about the spooky sequel and his second-generation fans.
“It always cracks me up,” Murray said.
“That has been brought up to me a couple of times.”

When Murray met Donald’s children, one of them was already familiar with his work.
“At the time, we were just doing our thing.
We didn’t know what it would become,” he said.

“It was a bomb when it was first released.”
As far as I know, nothing’s happening,'" Murray recalled.
“And then Bette green-lit it and gave the go-ahead to do the sequel.”

“It’s really cool seeing the second generation discoverHocus Pocusand be like, ‘You know what?
This is like the greatest Halloween movie ever made.'”
Although fans have asked him about the absence, Murray understands why he wasn’t included in the sequel.
“To me,Hocus Pocusis really about those three women, those three witches,” he said.
You know, we’re all old and wrinkled now.
Who wants to see us?"
And of course, poor Thackery has the extra challenge of being, well, dead.
And ghosts aren’t known for aging.
“That’s true,” Murray said.
“You sleep pretty good over that 200-something years.”
