- “I smell children!”
- ―Mary's unnatural ability to detect the scent of children
Mary Sanderson is one of the two secondary antagonists in Disney's 1993 film Hocus Pocus, along with her sister, Sarah. She and her two sisters were awoken from their graves and sought to keep themselves from returning by attempting to suck the life forces of young children.
Background[]
Personality[]
Mary is Winifred's right-hand witch, always trying her best to appease Winnie and calm her rages. In her quest to stay on Winnie's good side, Mary compliments her whenever she can and has a habit of repeating whatever she says. Although perhaps not as cunning or as evil as her eldest sister, she is more competent, clever, and observant than Sarah. And also not as ditzy and airheaded as Sarah.
Mary is the most caring of the Sanderson sisters, but only to her sisters. It is Mary that suggests forming a calming circle to ease their stress, and it is Mary who takes care of Winnie when she loses hope. However, when it comes to children, Mary delights in tracking them down with her powerful sense of smell and suggest various ways of cooking them, from barbecue to "shish-ka-baby", heavily implying her and her sisters to be cannibals.
