[@hyicrotai9801]

Now this is a guy who truly loves cinema.

[@worldofmicah]

Thank you very much

[@TampaJay]

It’s not Halloween without a some Hocus Pocus! I’m a fan of the movie and I enjoyed this so much man great job tracking all of this down. I enjoyed this very much

[@worldofmicah]

Tampa Jay thanks dude!!! It took some patience and some long nights but totally worth it!

[@TrevorCollin_]

My man Tampa Jay!!! Love your vids bro!

[@knucklehoagies]

It seriously feels like yesterday when I used to watch this movie on TV back when it first aired on Disney in the early 90s. It's hard to believe this movie is already almost 30 years old. Everytime it comes on today, it's like no time has passed. This movie aged beautifully.

[@worldofmicah]

It is hard to believe it’s been nearly 30 years. And you’re right, it aged amazingly!

[@britneyog9537]

I just turned 30 and grew up with this movie. Gosh time flies... I feel so old.

[@StellaAdler_]

I have the same feeling. As soon as i put it on, i instantly remember my middle school days and how carefree life was.

[@joannahzamora]

Damn I miss the 90's 😭

[@worldofmicah]

Joannah Z me too

[@Laufield]

My childhood 90s is the best. 2000s ruined my childhood

[@cjsadman3750]

I miss the 80s and 90s my childhood was blessed!

[@hankbug]

I used to live one town over from Salem and would spend most weekends just walking around that town and marveling at the historic homes/pubs. I miss it so much. Thanks for taking us back through one of my favorite spots on earth.

[@worldofmicah]

That’s amazing! I can’t wait to get back myself.

[@jessicagentry6379]

This town is very pretty. I love the fact that it has alot of History.

[@hellohorrorfans7641]

tons of history! such a fun town

[@Savage_Gamer777]

I love history so I definitely gotta go

[@AimlessAdventuresVlog]

Great job researching and hunting down those locations! I know the hard work and passion you put into this is so worth it.

[@worldofmicah]

Aimless Adventures thanks buddy!

[@OperationAdventure]

Someone might have already posted this; however, the interiors for Allison’s house were filmed in California. The same house they used in Scream 2 for Omega Beta Zeta.

[@ZacSaleski]

Just came back from Salem, i couldnt tell you how much i geeked out when i saw Max's house lol

[@worldofmicah]

Zac Saleski hahah I know the feeling!!

[@martinodendaal1703]

I think I have watched Hocus Pocus a 100 times. The BEST comedy ever!!!

[@worldofmicah]

I never get tired of watching it either!

[@madisongillam5366]

Good timing, I literally JUST saw this movie for the first time

[@jessicabrown7274]

Oh I think you're going to watch Hocus Pocus many times now. Enjoy!

[@SD-ph6cr]

I watched it like 500 times as a kid. I just Introduced it to my kids and my smallest wants to keep watching it lol. Every time I get stuck watching it with them like I’ve never watched it before 😂

[@kristymichel792]

Oh wow this video is so cool I watched hocus pocus as a kid and I still do along with watching Halloweentown movies too every year. Hocus Pocus scared me as a kid but now that I’m a adult I find hocus Pocus very funny

[@jessicabrown7274]

Terrific to see the Hocus Pocus film locations in Salem, MA, so much history, film and real history.

[@hellohorrorfans7641]

I agree! Thanks for watching!

[@charmeddream9518]

3 more months until Halloween!! So watching hocus pocus ❤️

[@worldofmicah]

Charmed Dream heck yeah!!!

[@goaly97]

We drive to Salem a couple times a year. Went there for Halloween one year. It was crazy!!!

[@worldofmicah]

Tim’s Travels I imagine it could be crazy during that time

[@StellaAdler_]

Hocus Pocus will forever be one of my favorite comfort movies of all time. Love it! Sisteeers!

[@DavidSharphead66]

Great job appreciate the hard work!

Thank you!

[@taylor7177]

Just watched Hocus Pocus last night!

[@worldofmicah]

Taylor Ingram awesome!

[@HappyKittyShop]

Hocus Pocus is my all time favorite Halloween movie and watch it every October! Thank you for sharing the locations! I live in Massachusetts and was honored being able to visit the locations in person with my husband too! The Witch Museum I feel like has the line out the door all the time especially in October. Going in October is crazy busy! I was just happy to get to see the Kids house , Allison's house and Town Hall and get pics with them.

[@missball888]

Yes!!! I love this! I used to work in Marblehead. Such a neat area.

[@worldofmicah]

Molly Ball oh no way! It’s very nice there

[@jessicabrown7274]

Lucky!

[@donaldfield2862]

I thought all of this was filmed in Hollywood. nice to know they filmed somethings in Salem!

[@merryfate]

Hubie Halloween on Netflix, Adam Sandler new movies was filmed in Salem also.

[@alt.endingboromirlives5230]

This vid deserves more than 4K views. Much appreciated ✊🏽

[@worldofmicah]

alt.ending Boromir lives thank you! Feel free to share it on Facebook or wherever!

[@Edselorganist]

Eric from Marblehead here!!! You captured my house in your video! To clarify, Marblehead (like other adjacent towns) was just a section of Salem until it became its own town in 1648. The red square tower is not a church, but Abbot Hall (1876), our newest Town Hall, the yellow building in the bike scene/corner is our second Town Hall from 1727. Also, the houses with white chimneys with a black band painted at the top (such as in your video) was a secret sign that the house was owned by Loyalists who supported the British cause during the revolution. Next time you come this way, look us up, and we'll show you all the other (secret!) locations in town where this, and other, movies were filmed from 1910's to present! Cheers!

[@aether13x69]

Hocus Pocus is playing this Friday night ( 10/9/20) on the FreeForm Channel.

[@dianetheisen8664]

Now you tell me! LOL! I love the movie 🎥, watch it every year since it came out, but missed it this year due to the small amount of advertising stating air times ⏲️.

[@TheDuoFinds]

Great job! When we do filming location videos we often ponder the same thing. All of that travel for just a few seconds of footage. But it’s the adventure! 🤘

[@worldofmicah]

The Duo Finds definitely worth the adventure!!

[@worldofmicah]

Thank you for watching! It was a lot of fun to film it all. Bucket list for sure.

[@darylturcott]

What a great video with super location matchups. On a side note, I dabble in genealogy and my wife has direct ancestors who lived in Salem during the witch trials. Some relatives on both sides of the issue.

[@worldofmicah]

daryl turcott wow that’s crazy! Those were some crazy crazy times. I didn’t realize what all took place until doing my own research

[@dianetheisen8664]

Wow!

[@ksn8908]

I was surprised to find some relatives too. No direct descendants but several cousins by marriage that were victims

[@peggyhurley7060]

I have also been to Salem and love the movie. You did such a great job showing the filming locations.

Thank you. Very much enjoyed it.

[@hellohorrorfans7641]

Thank you! Super happy you enjoyed it!

[@mizadelem]

The interior of the Ropes mansion looks nothing like the film. That was filmed in California. I worked at the Corwin house (the Witch House), and many people would ask me if that was in the film. I live in Salem, right off the Common. Glad you enjoyed your time in my crazy town.

[@worldofmicah]

mizadelem good to know! I was certain they just built the interiors on a soundstage. I loved your crazy town! Hope to visit again soon!

8:51 the interior for Allison's house was filmed in Southern California. Same interior house in Scream 2, Catch Me if You Can, and Matilda.

Great research as always my friend. I grew up in Southern NH and we went to Salem often but never visited those filming sights. Thanks so much for the great video.

Watching people walking without masks now feels like watching an old early 1900's video. I want the no-mask days back 😭 On the other hand, amazing video! It's insane! Everything looks the same as the movie. I wanna go there one day.

[@worldofmicah]

It definitely does! Can’t believe we used to live that way lol! I get nervous watching old videos

I want no- mask days, too.

[@voyager0156]

Very cool filming location tour! Thank you.

[@MrWonderfulVibes]

Thank you for taking the time to do this. I think it’s pretty cool to see. An also to remember scenes in the movie at those locations is pretty neat to see how it all ended up being tied together. Definitely for sure brings back childhood nostalgia.

[@lander77477]

10:10 that's an exterior LED light that points down. Its a very modern design and its not obvious what it is unless you see it at night

[@sherrysc3848]

Marblehead MA was part of Salem MA at one time . The Ropes Mansion is haunted . The black on the chimney is to tell who was for British or independent during the revolutionary war

[@worldofmicah]

Very cool history! Thanks

Yes, very cool, indeed also very interesting.

Some of the trick or treat scenes were done in uptown Whittier, California near Friends park. My Dad’s house was used for exterior when you see rainbow skeleton.

[@worldofmicah]

Very cool! I wish I could have added that scene to this video but it didn’t happen

[@kgl1267]

Thanks for putting out this video, I appreciate the research and the effort you must have put into it! This movie always brings back good memories. There is one exterior shot missing though, the beginning of the sequence where Max is riding his bicycle in front of Abbot Hall in Marblehead. Otherwise excellent work mate, thanks for sharing

[@aniweweahawhe28]

Regarding Max's house: I wonder why they decided that particular house, did they have to pay the owner to film there? Maybe someone who was working on the movie knew the owner of the house? If I owned that house, I would make it a museum for the month of October. A good little side hustle.

[@Jay-wk9xj]

Nice work.. a couple answers to your questions- the steeple you see in the marblehead as Salem shot is named Abbot Hall, not a church... the witch house is called 'witch house' because it was the home of a prominent witch trial judge.. not quite as cool as an actual witches house but still creepy. . You were also steps away from the Lords of Salem apt House a few houses up the street so hopefully you took the short walk

[@worldofmicah]

We did the tour of The Witch House and a few other tours of the town! Very interesting stuff!

[@TheLadyhawk11862]

Actually the witch house was the home of sheriff corwin who interrogated those accused of witchcraft.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

I put a spell on you and now you're gone! Love that movie and the show at Magic Kingdom

[@worldofmicah]

I love that song 🎵, too! In fact, the first time I heard the song 🎵 was in the Hocus Pocus movie 🎥, which I also love.

[@janislyn58]

Loved watching this. Our good friends lived right next door to the Victorian-style house where the Devil (Garry Marshall) lived with The Master’s Wife (Penny Marshall). The house was in uptown Whittier in CA. We had no idea at the time we were watching such an iconic movie being filmed. My daughter was 7 at the time and was really scared of all the screaming taking place. Thank you again for reposting this for me to find!
