Hocus Pocus (1993) Filming Locations In Salem - Miserable Oct Weather / 30th Anniversary Then VS Now

[@toddsimpson9164]

My late wife and family lived on Ocean Ave in 1993, so she saw them film HOCUS POCUS. The exteriors were filmed in Salem MA, all the interior shots were filmed in Los Angeles.

[@doubleueyett]

The dance scene that was in the town hall was filmed in LA at the MacAurthur. Alisons house interior was filmed in Pasadena in the same house that the Scream 2 Sorority house exterior was filmed at. All of the trick or treating scenes were filmed in Whittier as well as the high school interiors were at a middle school in Whittier. Don't forget about them dancing in front of the Friends fountain and the Brownstones at the Warner Ranch, in Burbank when they thought they killed the sisters, which were unfortunately demolished just last week.

Adam, I'm behind on your awesome videos because, my 17 yr old baby dog went to the rainbow bridge. Really enjoyed your awesome video and Hocus Pocus is one of my favorite movies! Thank you for taking me along with y'all! Looking forward to catching up on your awesome vlogs.

[@ddjj68]

I'm sure the rain was getting annoying but it really added to the mood of this location. Nice vid.

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Nice filming locations to this fun film. I watch it every year! cool to see you hanging out with Ben.

[@BenLaurence]

YESS thanks Nick!

[@sangeronimoband9018]

You know. Your like having a puppy. Just watching you. Relaxing me. God bless dude

[@sharonproctor4079]

You are in my home town territory. I grew up in Ipswich Ma. And went to college in Salem. Lived there for a few years.

[@Bella1584]

I love Hocus Pocus and I love that you toured the filming locations! Thanks Adam. Salem looks amazing, even in the rain.

[@ksbeditor]

I live in Marblehead ... thanks for showing Old Burial Hill and surroundings. FYI: I believe the gazebo was taken down during filming of "The Good Son" and the crew rebuilt it after filming the movie.

[@annmarieparker7045]

Adam in shorts in a rainy New England fall. I was just listening to it while cleaning then tonite I saw the shorts. No wonder you’re freezing! Enjoy your road trip. Looks like a good start!

[@vbar66l93]

Another great video. We watch this film every year. Thank you.

[@sarachin5168]

Kowloon! OMG! That takes me back - I was born in Salem MA and lived in the area throughout my childhood. Great video, and a trip down memory lane for me. Thanks!

[@travelsareus5009]

Great video. We just got back from Salem and Boston from Orlando also

[@BrewDub73]

Awesome! I’m from Massachusetts but live in Florida. I’ve never been to the filming locations. Been to Salem many times. We went to Salem ON Halloween a few years ago and it was a madhouse. Enjoy your time up there! Hope you spend some time with Derek Millen!

[@tewksburydriver8624]

Unfortunate weather. October is typically an absolutely stunning month in the Boston area.

[@dianapearson1771]

It's always so crazy when you tell how long it's been since movies were made!! But, Hocus Pocus, 30 years???!!! Makes you realize how old you are, for sure!!!

[@selbyjohnson5986]

yeah its kind of depressing haha

[@AimlessAdventuresVlog]

Good to see you and B.L. hookin up for some shenanigans again!

[@BenLaurence]

Shenanigans a plenty when we’re teaming up LOL

[@glennkennedy441]

Ha, KowLoon just down the street from me. Salem is even closer, good to know you were in my area.

[@crissytracy8517]

How fun was this! I live in New England I haven’t made it to Salem yet, it’s on my list though. It was so cold yesterday. Where I’m at in Maine, we got snow! Hope you enjoy New England. It’s a better experience in the summer and early fall!

[@ShareaDreamComeTrue]

Great tour! World of Micah's video was my guide through Salem when I went a few years ago.

[@passionbeautymakeup]

Interesting coincidence, the headstone next to where the “Judith Myers” headstone in Halloween 1978 was supposed to be also has the name Sinclair. Love your videos Adam!

[@melissamary2293]

I am SO SAD that you were here and I didn’t get to meet you 😭

[@johnstonpickle2771]

We caught the Salem festivities too - what a fantastic place.

[@charliehigdon3540]

I recently watched Hocus Pocus for Halloween. I think the reason why the Sanderson Sisters came back after being burned in the school was the black flame candle. I’m assuming it gave them immunity until the powers wore off at sunrise.

[@TheDailyWoo]

That makes sense. Didn’t think of that

[@jenniferfarrar7641]

@@TheDailyWoo hi Adam the woo happy Halloween 🎃 I have hocus pocus movie

[@mgratk]

I think its actually because its just pretend. Yeah sorry I think I'm funny.

[@mightyrocky12345]

​@@TheDailyWoo hi Adam woo

[@MikesVegas]

I watched Hocus Pocus 2 this morning at Starbucks while enjoying a piping hot pumpkin spice latte 😋👍🎃☕️

[@glennscotti8891]

78 here in Tucson AZ today. Love the warmer winters here then when I lived in nj and va.

[@mikeb5749]

That’s a very beautiful town good place to film a movie thanks for having me along for the ride

[@tammystarkey6271]

I just visited Salem this past spring. Would to go in the fall just before Halloween. I love the movie Hocus Pocus!!

[@ladnarfilms5201]

Love Hocus Pocus! Its also good to see Ben Laurence again. I'm glad he has started uploading again. I hope someday I will be able to go see that place in person, just hopefully will be better weather.

[@BenLaurence]

Thanks, good to be back in action.. Salem is definitely worth the trip if you ever have the opportunity

[@sandrap6321]

Salem area so pretty & so historical. Thanks for braving the bad weather to showcase it. Nailed it. 🔨🎯🎃

[@AliciapTexas]

Better to rain than snow. Never complain about the rain Adam! Be so grateful you're not digging out of a foot of snow.

[@BenLaurence]

This turned out great!! Such a fun day.. Still haven’t thawed out yet 😂

[@TheDailyWoo]

It was a fun day buddy . Good hanging out

[@karens8633]

Too bad you weren’t here from last Wednesday to Saturday, it was Beautiful here! That’s New England for you! I was in Plymouth on Saturday and I thought I would die of the heat, it was 75 degrees! 😂

[@amandam.3402]

Ohh your in my neck of the woods! Lol. I’m about 45 mins from Salem in southern NH. Seeing the filming locations is fun. I’ve been to some. Salem is fun for the history and spooky things. 👻🎃👍🏻🕸️..Enjoy your time here & stay warm!! Lol

[@RiseFromTheDead]

I have heard mixed reviews about Salem recently. Kind of a bummer but still on my bucket list!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Worth checking out for sure

[@mgratk]

If I were to go, I'd go between November and early September. But then I live in the Northeast so I see plenty of fall leaves and would be happy to miss out on the giant crowds.

[@writerpatrick]

If one goes during a busy time it would be less interesting. It's the sort of place you want to go to when it's quiet as crowds diminish the atmosphere of the place.

[@bradleysmall2230]

check out the book KILLING THE WITCHES@@TheDailyWoo

[@pennykeller3048]

That was an awesome video Adam. Stay warm!

[@suegeib5696]

We go every year in our custom van Purgatory. Salem is our favourite place to visit 🖤🖤

[@samanthabattis619]

Welcome to NE; I’m sorry the weather was so lousy. Today there is sun, hopefully more fun for you! Thank you for your great content!

[@Cheryl-u4l]

I was wondering why the cat from Hocus Pocus can only talk to Max, Allison, and the sister. Maybe because Max lit the black flame candle? The cat should have spoke up to the parents at the Town Hall party, when the sister was freaking out, and reporting to the mom about the witches, while holding the cat lol. Great video, and fun nostalgic movie.

[@strangebrew5545]

I think Binx got the will to speak when the candle was lit , but he was so intent on protecting Danni from the witches because she reminded him of Emily , he probably knew if anyone else knew he would of been captured and paraded around like a fair exhibit, he knew who to trust 😺 just a theory

[@Recordology]

Cool the gator says Hi Adam. He was out socializing today. Also Cool Jr. was swimming around.

[@Dahkie111]

Welcome back to Massachusetts! Hopefully you get to enjoy some nice weather in MA in the fall sometime! (Though today is much better than yesterday was) New England is beautiful in the fall!

[@sarakeith5480]

Super fun and yes the rain and cold might have kept people home!! 54 degrees for me is not too bad but then again I live in N.J! Always love bonus footage especially when you share food!! Thanks!!

[@jpgcne]

@34:54 ha I haven't been to the Kowloon in years. But it always was good food. Moved to more metrowest of Boston. Glad you enjoyed ❤❤❤❤

[@brianking973]

That long square stone post kinda looks like an old hitching post for horses . But i may be wrong. I want to visit that area some day. Stay safe and warm

[@strangebrew5545]

Maybe the 'spirits' of the Sanderson sisters tried to ruin you're vlog with the weather , hate it for them , the rain only made the whole video better ! Such a beautiful place and really enjoyed this , hope you are having a great Halloween!👻

[@brendamanu3468]

@TheDailyWoo Adam, did you “see” the “people” looking at you from behind the headstones on the top of the hill? “They” were standing behind their headstones. Pretty cool! “They” were just watching everyone. Cool!

[@andystephens3663]

What’s wild is when Hocus Pocus was released it just kinda came and went. It didn’t do well at the box office or with critics. I remember when I was a young teenager my mom took me and my friend to see it and I didn’t think much of it at the time. My mom even said “ Well I’m sorry, that wasn’t very good” haha. So it’s amazing that all these years later it’s become such a cultural phenomenon. Pretty cool they actually filmed in Salem. I visited there on a road trip many years ago and it was a pretty awesome little town! Great vibe

[@johnstonpickle2771]

We flew Orlando to Boston too, stayed in that airport hotel (last minute hurricane fleeing trip!). Great times.

[@MattSeabolt]

Great subject matter and video. That guy was EXCITED to spend time with you.

[@stewie2853]

ADW, 30 miles from me in Salem Ma. totally awesome to see local stuff by Adam! I used to work the Ambulance in Salem, especially around Halloween for the crowds. Awesome times! Before you leave Salem, Go to the Fire Station at 48 Lafayette St (Not far from your hotel either) The fire dept sells special halloween shirts since you love tShirts... Engine House Pizza shop on corner also, is good for a slice or two! Can't wait to see your actual Halloween day blog from there! Enjoy!

[@peetie3970]

Dang your quickest flight ever

Thank you Adam...

Salem has been on my todo list for a while now. Looks awesome!

It’s a fun place

[@The_Alexandra_B]

We were at Allison’s house on the last weekend of September and they didn’t have the pumpkins out yet. Great video!

[@frikitiki]

If you have the chance while you're up there, the Peabody Essex museum and the House of Seven Gables are good visits!

[@chitownkid8716]

I loved this opening. Something different.

[@ford982]

Great stuff again!

[@sarahnewcomer7694]

Happy Halloween!! Great video!! Love Hocus Pocus and it's so cool to see those places they filmed it.

[@SwiftyandDonna]

When you went to Kowloon’s you was only a couple of mile from Fredo Corleone’s final resting place. Of course I’m referring to John Cazale who was born in the next town over in Revere. Reach out to us if you’re in town in the future. We’ll be happy to show you.

[@melissalee333]

Well done Adam. This was really fun to watch. I know you are freezing 🥶. It was 82 here yesterday and today it’s 50 and overcast.

[@kaynorth718]

Happy Halloween, Adam! Great vlog. Great seasonal weather for this type of video. Not sure it would have had the same effect if it was a warm day. This was perfect and I enjoyed it. Had to then watch the movie to see what you had filmed against the movie. So funny watching the two of you zipping through the town. Thanks for all your destination filming. Most of us won't ever see most of the towns you visit, so I enjoy being able to visit vicariously through you. Thanks. Looks like a good time was had by all!! 👻🎃🦇

[@LizzieWestBathandBody]

Happy Halloween Woo Tribe! I've never seen the movie Hocus Pocus but maybe after today that story will change. Salem is on my bucket list because when my ancestors immigrated from Ireland and Scotland for some reason they didn't settle in Boston they settled in Salem. This walking tour was epic even in the rain! Thank you for this.

[@tracydasilva3396]

I was just watching Hocus Pocus this morning. Happy Halloween! Nice to see that you are up in my neck of the woods. Enjoy the foliage.

[@johnrogers6291]

Thanks Adam for bringing us along.😊

Ahhh...Adam. So envious! 😊🧙‍♀️🐈‍⬛🎃 Glad you made it safely. 🙏

[@SlytherinReviews]

Yes, you doing the filming locations of my fave movie Hocus Pocu. I love first movie and the second movie was a great follow up

[@PoppaSquat-et3qp]

Woo they filmed Hocus Pocus 2 in Newport, RI. Gotta make your way to Rhody next time. It’s about a good 2 hour drive from Salem.

[@Tinkergrumpybuns]

OMG ,cracked up seeing you back in Salem. It was a miserable day out, for sure. It will be a cold and crowded night in town! Enjoy!

[@sharoncastigliego3637]

Kowloon!!! Been there many a time. Hope you liked it Adam!!

[@Mrcruisefever1]

It’s also 25th anniversary of Disney HalloweenTown movie - October 17th 1998

[@braves9652]

Wow!!! I can remember being at my mom's with my son, who must have been about 6 years old at the time. The three of us watched many, many movies together. We went to the movies on occasion but mostly we rented them. That way, the dogs were included. Mom died 10 months ago, and my 32 year old son is in California for work right now and it's unlikely I will see him for the holidays. If you are reading this and you still have your parents and your kids are still little enough to sit right beside you on the furniture, don't take it for granted. Find a movie for the three generations in your life to watch this weekend. And kiss 💋 them all goodnight. You're blessed. 🙏

[@MG-pl3oz]

Too bad you werent here on Saturday, the weather was amazing!!! It's also pretty nice today. Happy Halloween🎃👻

If you ever get back to that area there is a really cool house called The Paper House. It is very near there. Really off and quirky roadside type stuff.
