In a fascinating Cosmopolitan article about how YouTube star Venetian Princess got (falsely) identified as the actor who played Emily Binx, they reached out to the real actor behind the role, Amanda Shepherd (Jodie-Amy Rivera was her stage name). Shepherd explained that Hocus Pocus was "a foretelling of my current life, being around witches," since, at the time of the interview, she was "taking a plants, spirits, and herbalism class where I'm learning about shamanism" and hanging out with good witches.
