Several drag queens say drag culture isn’t just important to HocusPocus — it kept the film’s legacy alive.
“There’s something magical when you take three women who are gay icons in their own right, like Mandy and Sarah Jessica Parker and Bette Midler, and you put them in giant wigs and corsets and hoist them 30 feet into the air and have them be witches and do production numbers,” Clair says. “It just takes it to another level of fantasy. It’s hard not just to smile through that whole movie.”
“It’s about strong women exacting their revenge, which we live for,” Pixel says. “But the storytelling of these witches really speaks to the drag community because it’s all those things. It’s over the top, it’s camp, it’s feminine, it’s about women with power. And I think drag queens really idealize those values and hold those values at the core of their being.”
Even with a mainstream acceptance of Hocus Pocus’ influence on drag, the past year has seen a surge of threats and protests against drag queens, stoked by far-right talking points accusing queens of targeting children or promoting pedophilia.
