Bette Midler dressed as her 'Hocus Pocus' character, and it's to die for


A virgin must have lit the black flame candle, because Winifred Sanderson was out on the town Friday night.

Bette Midler brought her beloved character from 1993's Hocus Pocus back from the dead to celebrate at the Waldorf Astoria. And, wow, the centuries-old character looks good 23 years later.

It was all for Restoration Project's "Hulaween" party.

Midler seemed to enjoy rocking the red hair and broom.

Other guests at the party got into the Halloween spirit, too. Kathy Griffin's Snapchat ensemble was solid.

While Marc Jacobs and Charly DeFrancesco were unrecognizable as body builders.

Midler isn't the first one to reprise a movie look for a charity event, and delight nineties kids. Earlier this month, Rookie of the Year star Thomas Ian Nicholas wore his Henry Rowengartner uniform to Seth Rogen's Hilarity for Charity variety show.
