Who could forget when the renowned Bette Midler played the role of Winifred Sanderson, a witch who was out to steal children’s souls. Many cosplayers didn’t as they have created their own versions of this character for the world to see. They are just as chilling as she was in the film with red hair, crazed eyes, and the big buck teeth to match.
Fans of the film won’t want to miss seeing what other followers have created as it will ignite their own Halloween spirit. Keep reading to see some of the best Winifred Sanderson cosplays fans have created that truly capture her chilling essence!
Reading From The Spellbook
The Spellbook was what the Sanderson sisters used in order to live their lives as witches as it contained a multitude of spells and potions, something some viewers probably didn’t know. This cosplayer, named Carmen V. Estrada, decided to add it to her ensemble and the lighting effects of her photograph make her look even more sinister. The wig she is wearing is a perfect match to the one in the film and her makeup helps draw attention to her face despite the large book she holds in her hands.
Talon-Like Nails
This rendition of Winifred Sanderson nailed the look between the fake teeth and the talon-like nails on her hands. Fans adore the design of the green cape on her shoulders and the choice of the rings she decided to wear on her fingers.

A Gorgeous Outfit
One look at this cosplayer and fans can tell she put a lot of time and effort into the design of her outfit. The top alone is so intricate with several layered fabrics and a corset that fits her form perfectly as she included every detail that most fans probably didn’t even notice.
Lauren Matesic also chose to wear a few pieces from RockLove Jewelry which complements the gown she designed with the green hues of the stone in the middle of the various pieces.
A Younger Winifred
When viewers first lay eyes on this cosplay they immediately think of a younger version of Winifred Sanderson. It almost looks like a modernized version of this character between the solid opaque arm sleeves as well as the flawlessness of her makeup, which makes her even more likable.
Her outfit design is fairly similar to the one from the film, with a few personal touches such as a larger frill above the corset. Alexandra Bayless created this cosplay that has fans in awe of her ability to create wigs with as much volume and color like this one.
A New Twist
Many cosplayers aim for authenticity, but Marksimonelig decided to give this character their own spin. The choice to use long and braided hair for the wig, as well as more vibrant shades of green and purple for the gown, was an excellent choice.
Fans adore the outcome that was achieved as they are given a new way to view this classic Disney villain and find themselves wanting to read the books.
Her Natural Hair Worked Perfectly
A cosplayer named As You Wish Cosplay was able to use her natural hair in order to bring this character into reality. It is amazing the way she was able to pull it up into this complicated hairstyle without it looking unnatural.
The clasps on her robe were a nice touch and the heavy blush on her cheeks pulls the entire ensemble together.
All Of The Sisters
This cosplayer chose to surround herself with the other two Sanderson sisters and it is what took it to the next level. Thecostumerbybirgit reprised the role of Winifred and the volume of her hair is astounding as it makes her the focal point of the picture.
Fans also love the level of detail of her outfit as she included the various symbols down the length of her gown that few are able to do with such ease. She even made the Spellbook in her hands which appears as if it was taken straight from the set of Hocus Pocus itself and fans can almost hear her saying one of her most badass quotes.
Revealing Her Cunning Nature
Winifred Sanderson is quite cunning and that side of her personality is portrayed in this cosplay as it proves she is the strongest sister. The look in Lily Archer’s eyes speaks volumes and the authenticity of her outfit only adds to this vibe she is giving to viewers.
The purple lace she used for her sleeves is gorgeous as it compliments the red hue of her hair while tying back to the purple in this character’s corset.
Children Play The Part Well
This mom saw the potential in her child when she decided to dress them up as Winifred Sanderson. It is not only adorable but puts viewers in the Halloween spirit as they remember their own costumes from when they were children themselves.
Mama Mouse was the mastermind behind this idea whose addition of a cauldron and photoshop made this one of the greatest Winifred Sandeson cosplays to date.
Big Teeth Make This Cosplay Exceptional
Daniela Giavarina is the cosplayer in this post whose age works for her in this cosplay as Bette Midler was almost 50 years old when she took on the role of Winifred Sanderson.
This cosplayer’s hair adds to this sentiment as she included strands of white, and it happens to make it more chilling. The creation of the clasps for her robe are well done, as well as a detail fans might have missed, and the pronounced teeth of this cosplayer really bring out the essence of this Hocus Pocus character.
