Omri Katz starred in Hocus Pocus as teen skeptic Max

Omri Katz rose to fame in the early '80s with a breakout role in soap opera Dallas. Ten years later, he starred in beloved '90s Halloween feature Hocus Pocus as skeptical teen Max, who moves to Salem with his family and accidentally resurrects the Sanderson sisters. 

After his spooky star role, Omri appeared on The John Larroquette Show, reprised his role in Dallas: J.R. Returns and guest-starred in Freaks and Geeks. He's since left far behind, however, to pursue a successful career in the cannabis industry as the founder of The Mary Danksters.

Christina Ricci befriended the titular friendly ghost in Casper

Not every Halloween ghost is cause for fear and '90s favourite Casper the Friendly Ghost surely wasn't. In the 1995 favourite Casper, Christina Ricci starred as compassionate teen Kat, who moves into Whipstaff Manor with her father and strikes up a friendship with the ghost.

The Mermaids star has since returned to The Addams Family franchise in Wednesday, starred in hit drama Yellowjackets and is currently tied to upcoming project The Astrology House.

Kimberly J. Brown took the star role in Halloweentown

For '90s kids, Halloween classics today don't hold a candle to 1998's Halloweentown starring Kimberly J. Brown as teen witch Marnie Piper. The cosy fantasy classic is still a must-watch every October and Kimberly built on her Halloweentown fame in the 2001 sequel Kalabar's Revenge. 

Since then, she's appeared in 15 episodes of General Hospital and returned to her spookier roots with TV movie Haul Out the Halloween in 2025. Per her IMDb, Kimberly is involved with upcoming horror project Rough Cut.

Jimmy Workman was an irreplaceable part of The Addams Family

They're creepy and they're kooky, they're altogether spooky – and The Addams Family wouldn't be the same without Pugsley Addams, played by Jimmy Workman. Pugsley marked Jimmy's first role on screen and he last appeared in front of the camera in 2005 teen drama The Biggest Fan.

Since then, he's continued to work in the transportation department on several features as a driver or transportation coordinator, including Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, Queen of the Ring and Muzzle.

In 1993, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen starred in Halloween classic Double, Double, Toil and Trouble as twins who are determined to steal a magic moonstone from their evil aunt and save their home. 

The famous '90s duo stepped back from the spotlight after 2004's New York Minute, with Mary-Kate officially retiring from her solo acting career eight years later. They founded high-end fashion brand The Row in 2006 which continues to find success as a quiet luxury brand.

Adam's '90s stardom included a star role on series Picket Fences, Child's Play 2 and animated features like The Swan Princess.

He most recently lent his voice-acting talents to the 2023 series Adventures in Odyssey and returned to his Disney Channel roots in the sequel to Under Wraps. Adam now regularly performs close-up magic and creates sketch comedy videos for his social media.
