Ahead of HocusPocus' reunion today, Doug Jones remembers how the physical transformation into a '300-year-old dead guy' only took an hour and a half and how that character ended up being a love interest for so many fans

and the Mac Tonight Guy in a long-running McDonalds campaign, as well as performing in many roles where he appears looking more like"himself," such as, Jones recalls that the film had the opposite effect to what he thought would happen.

Morphing into Billy Butcherson only took an hour and a half each day, Jones explains, as makeup artists Tony Gardner and Margaret Prentice used a prosthetics piece for the face, neck and collarbone that was one piece, pre-molded and pre-painted. For the hands, they were just gloves that he would slip on."I was baffled at the speed at which they did it," Jones says, adding that watching the artistry involved is a process he always finds stunning.

Of the costume, Jones remembers that his look almost took inspiration from Michael Jackson — the"uniform" kind of outfit, with epaulets on the shoulders — as he was incredibly popular at the time."I'm glad they ended up going with more of a period look," says Jones, adding that it adds to the"timeless" feel of the movie.

Over the years, Billy Butcherson has been referred to as a"dateable" type of zombie."I think he had a very sexy look to him, and that was pretty much thanks to the design of the costuming, the wig with the rockstar hair, and the bone structure of the prosthetic dead guy skin that was put on me, was really nice and sharp and angular," says Jones."He was kind of pretty." The actor didn't specifically channel"sexy" though, in his performance.
