Almost every cast member is there and you’re in full costume, full hair, full makeup and you stand in front of a camera and they tell you to make different faces, walk forward, walk backward, in different lighting-inside and outside. TPH: I did! Before we went on set, we did an on-camera test. JB: You play a young Winifred Sanderson, which, of course, was Bette Midler’s character.

I’m a student.” I didn’t get to pause my freshman year of high school to go make a movie and then just start it up again. You never think about, “Oh, I still have to learn.
Though sometimes I had to leave and go do school. It was fun to stand there and watch them work. Then you do a take and once you get it, you have to wait for the camera to move and the lenses and the lighting. So that hurry-up-and-wait was so different from theater. I also had those teeth, which were in and out all the time. The fabulous hair and makeup team came by every 15 minutes and fixed things. You get to set and put your hair and makeup on-well, I get my wig put on me-then you get your costume on and you get to set and then … you wait. JB: Did the reality of being cast in a film match the dream you had as a kid? It was nice to know I had more than one chance to get it right, especially since I was portraying a character that is … quite complicated. I wasn’t nervous about getting it right the first time. TPH: And that’s why I think I wasn’t nervous for the actual filming part of it, because if you miss a line you can go back and do it again. On a film set, you have multiple takes but the entire crew is watching, and maybe you’re surrounded by well-known actors. On stage, you’ve got one shot to get it right. JB: Tell me about the difference between performing live on stage versus a film set. This was more like-I wasn’t nervous to do the acting or filming or storytelling, but am I going to do the character justice? TPH: When I’m doing a play or a musical, I always have that “I’m going to throw up” moment right before I go on stage. JB: But was it a different kind of nervous from being on stage? Because you’ve done a lot of plays and musicals with Amarillo Little Theatre. And so it was a very interesting first day on set. The weather just doesn’t magically follow our schedule. JB: Was your first day on an outdoor set? I got to do really awesome things that day. Getting to have full costume and full hair for the first time-that’s an experience that I won’t ever forget. JB: What was it like to step on set the first time? Taylor Paige Henderson: Well, I was relieved because I’d been going through the process for two months at that point, and so when my mom told me that I got it, I was just so excited and crying. What did it feel like when you found out you got the role? Jason Boyett: A lot of kids dream about becoming Hollywood actors, but your dream actually came true. Brick & Elm ’s Jason Boyett sat down with Henderson, who’s about to turn 16, to discuss the film, her experiences on set, and this exciting moment in her career. 30, and local actor Taylor Paige Henderson plays a key role, appearing as young Winifred Sanderson (Bette Midler). Hocus Pocus 2 begins streaming on Disney+ this Friday, Sept. The three Sanderson Sisters-17th-century witches from Salem, Massachusetts-are back for another round of spooky fun in a long-awaited sequel. The 1993 film Hocus Pocus has been a Halloween cult classic for nearly three decades.
