#BelissaEscobedo is a Los Angeles-raised Chicana, the biggest cat mom ever (self-proclaimed), a former theater kid, and Izzy in Disney+'s new movie #HocusPocus2.⁠ ⁠ You may recognize Escobedo from her time as Natalie Garcia in The Baker and the Beauty, but on September 30, she made her way to Salem alongside the Sanderson Sisters. Lover of all things spooky season, Escobedo spent many Halloweens as a child watching films like Hocus Pocus, which she deems "superior" to many others on her movie marathon list. ⁠ ⁠ "Halloween has always been my and my mom's favorite holiday — and most of my family," she says. "We'd always host these Halloween parties and [Hocus Pocus] would be what we'd always watch, especially growing up. That was my favorite one."⁠ ⁠ Now Escobedo stars as Izzy, alongside Sarah Jessica Parker, Bette Midler, and Kathy Najimy who reprise their roles as the 17th-century Sanderson sisters, in the haunting sequel that takes place nearly 30 years after the Sanderson sisters wreaked havoc on a new generation in Salem. "Izzy is super cute," says Escobedo of the Latina character.⁠ ⁠ Read what else @bellisae has to say about her Hocus Pocus 2 character and more at the 🔗 in bio. ✍️ @priscilrodrig 📷 Timothy Fernandez #R29Somos #R29Article @r29somos
