‘Hocus Pocus 2’ Working Title Revealed as ‘Black Flame’
News is slowly trickling in from the highly anticipated Hocus Pocus sequel, currently named simply Hocus Pocus 2, from the filming in Rhode Island to the newly revealed working title of Black Flame.
Working titles for movies in production are very common as not to tip off fans and paparazzi of set locations which can cause crowds to gather around the working set.
Some may not be as easy to crack as Black Flame, which is a direct reference to the black flame candle that was lit in the first film by Max which revived the Sanderson Sisters and started the chain of events of the first film.
For example, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi was under the name of Blue Harvest for the entirety of the production (which was also done in an effort to reduce production costs), with 2012’s The Avengers being filmed under the simple name of Group Hug.
The working title of Black Flame was discovered by Instagram user Mike Ferguson, under the username @pvdnowandthen who came across three trailers with some very familiar names on.

By scrolling through the carousel of images that were uploaded, the names Winifred, Sarah, and Mary can all be seen under the Black Flame logo.
Even without the knowledge of Hocus Pocus 2 being filmed in Province Town, Rhode Island, it still does not take much to put the pieces together on what movie is in production.
