Overview

Come see the locations where everyone's favorite Halloween Movie - Hocus Pocus - was filmed. Relive the drama as Allison, Max, Dani and Binx need to save the town from the evil Sanderson sisters. We'll show you the locations where this movie was shot as well as tell you behind-the-scenes anecdotes. We are the only tour company in Salem that had an actor in Hocus Pocus 2 who also has spoken to actors and crew in the first movie. You'll get behind the scenes info you won't get anywhere else.
You'll also learn about other movies and TV shows shot here like Hubie Halloween, The Coming and Bewitched. We've had over 100 TV shows, movies, documentaries and reality shows shot in Salem and many have nothing to do with our notorious past.

  • Service animals allowed
  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels

  • Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately
  • Our public walking tours can pose challenges for participants with mobility and accessibility concerns. Tours are 90 minutes long and about one mile in length. Each participant must be able to complete the one-mile tour within 90 minutes, providing for frequent stops to view sites and for information from the tour guide. As Salem is a historical city, there are narrow and uneven sidewalks, bricks, cobblestones, and stairs. During events and festivals (and particularly October), with crowds and street vendors, the streets can become difficult to navigate.
