Movie Location: Salem, MA
Movie: Hocus Pocus
Salem obviously goes much further back in American history before Disney decided to make their live-action comedy about three witches raised from the dead on Halloween night and wreaking havoc on this old New England town.
But, this film twists that history a bit to create a fun flick in which the movie location serves as a kind of labyrinth in this cat-and-mouse game as three kids try to keep a spell book away from the Sanderson sisters and thwart their evil plot.
It’s a dark premise if we stop to think about it. But the film is so fun and full of humor with the playful surroundings where the actual Salem location is.
Everything from the autumn leaves to the old cemetery and historical buildings by the water add a sense of authentic atmosphere to this movie. It makes it a “Must-See” place to visit in our book, especially in autumn.
