Anne Fletcher vs. Chris Appelhans — two directors, one bracket slot.
When forced to choose between Hocus Pocus 2 and KPop Demon Hunters, BingeBracket voters pick KPop Demon Hunters 64% of the time across 14 matchups.
The Verdict
KPop Demon Hunters beating Hocus Pocus 2 means the original concept grabbed more voters than the legacy sequel. A film about K-pop superstars secretly protecting their fans from supernatural threats is a wilder swing than anything the Sanderson sisters offer, and voters rewarded the novelty.
