Despite what the DeSantis administration thinks, drag performers don’t actually want to corrupt your kids. Sometimes, they want to eat them.

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” stars Ginger Minj, Sapphira Cristรกl and Jujubee will become the Sanderson sisters from the 1993 Disney Halloween classic “Hocus Pocus” for a live show coming to the Tampa Theatre in October.

The queens star alongside “Dragula Season 3” winner Landon Cider as Billy, the sisers’ zombified ex boyfriend, for a “wickedly spoopy, fully scripted theatrical experience.”

Minj, who sported a Winifred tattoo as she became the champion of the most recent “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” season, cameoed as a drag version of the witch in “Hocus Pocus 2.”

Hokus Pokus Live!” is the result of Bette Midler encouraging Minj on the set of the 2022 sequel, per the show description.

The performance is 18+ so no actual children will be gobbled up. But virgins should be advised not to light stray candles.

Tickets start at $59.50 for Hokus Pokus Live! coming to Tampa on Oct. 18. They go on sale Friday, Aug. 29 at 10 a.m.
