Welcome to the Filming Locations of Hocus Pocus!
In 1993 Disney released a film called Hocus Pocus and it flopped at the Box Office...years later it has become one of the most iconic Halloween films of all time. Today we are traveling around Salem and Marblehead, MA to hunt down the filming locations of Hocus Pocus! We will be finding locations that most leave out! I hope you enjoy this wonderful episode as much as I did making it! Amuck! Amuck! Amuck!
After moving to Salem, Mass., teenager Max Dennison (Omri Katz) explores an abandoned house with his sister Dani (Thora Birch) and their new friend, Allison (Vinessa Shaw). After dismissing a story Allison tells as superstitious, Max accidentally frees a coven of evil witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy) who used to live in the house. Now, with the help of a magical cat, the kids must steal the witches' book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal.
Hello and welcome to the World of Micah! I travel around filming everything and anything I find interesting -from theme parks to abandoned urban exploring. If you enjoy learning more about Disney history, tips & secrets or a fan of Disney World nostalgia you have come to the right place. I also enjoy showing Universal Studios history and taking a look of what’s left of from classic attractions like JAWS and Back to the Future. More of an Urban Exploring fan? I travel around Central Florida and film everything from abandoned Toys “R” Us stores to abandoned attractions. I'm also a major Movie Buff! I have found the filming locations from such films as Edward Scissorhands & Halloween & Hocus Pocus!
Let’s take a closer look!

Now this is a guy who truly loves cinema.
Thank you very much
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.
It is hard to believe it’s been nearly 30 years. And you’re right, it aged amazingly!
I just turned 30 and grew up with this movie. Gosh time flies... I feel so old.
I have the same feeling. As soon as i put it on, i instantly remember my middle school days and how carefree life was.
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
Tampa Jay thanks dude!!! It took some patience and some long nights but totally worth it!
My man Tampa Jay!!! Love your vids bro!
Damn I miss the 90's 😭
Joannah Z me too
My childhood 90s is the best. 2000s ruined my childhood
I miss the 80s and 90s my childhood was blessed!
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.
Just came back from Salem, i couldnt tell you how much i geeked out when i saw Max's house lol
Zac Saleski hahah I know the feeling!!
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.
That’s amazing! I can’t wait to get back myself.
This town is very pretty. I love the fact that it has alot of History.
tons of history! such a fun town
I love history so I definitely gotta go
@@Savage_Gamer777 Me too!!!!
I think I have watched Hocus Pocus a 100 times. The BEST comedy ever!!!
I never get tired of watching it either!
Great job researching and hunting down those locations! I know the hard work and passion you put into this is so worth it.
Aimless Adventures thanks buddy!
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.
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!
We drive to Salem a couple times a year. Went there for Halloween one year. It was crazy!!!
Tim’s Travels I imagine it could be crazy during that time
Good timing, I literally JUST saw this movie for the first time
Pinkrabbitears 1 awesome!! Welcome to the club. Love this film!
Seriously? I really hope you're not an adult lol.
@@knucklehoagies lol 😂
Oh I think you're going to watch Hocus Pocus many times now. Enjoy!
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 😂
Great job appreciate the hard work!
Thank you!
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!
I thought all of this was filmed in Hollywood. nice to know they filmed somethings in Salem!
Hubie Halloween on Netflix, Adam Sandler new movies was filmed in Salem also.
Hocus Pocus will forever be one of my favorite comfort movies of all time.
Love it!
Sisteeers!
3 more months until Halloween!! So watching hocus pocus ❤️
Charmed Dream heck yeah!!!
Terrific to see the Hocus Pocus film locations in Salem, MA, so much history, film and real history.
I agree! Thanks for watching!
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.
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.
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.
Just watched Hocus Pocus last night!
Taylor Ingram awesome!
This vid deserves more than 4K views. Much appreciated ✊🏽
alt.ending Boromir lives thank you! Feel free to share it on Facebook or wherever!
Love Hocus Pocus!!!! One of my all time favorites!!!
Mine too
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.
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
Wow!
I was surprised to find some relatives too. No direct descendants but several cousins by marriage that were victims
I had one HECK OF A TIME JUST WATCHING THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION DEDICATION TO DETAIL to this which is and always will be my favorite HOLIDAY MOVIE but also was one of any only times I have seen a HOCUS POCUS or any movie location video or videos I have watched that absolutley have the LOVE and dedication to a movie Particularly my FAVORITE I consider my self the HALLOWEEN QUEEN but STRAIGHT up DUDE I really your dedication to not only showing or Informing us viewers as to the different locations but also showing over the fence views the screen shots and recreations were phenomenal Consider your RATINGS of this video 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 5 PUMPKINS
Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words...I spent a few weeks working on this in Orlando then traveling to Salem to hunt down the spots! If you enjoyed this location video i did a video on Edward Scissorhands not to long ago! Feel free to check it out! Thanks again!
Such a great video! Great job!!! Love Salem we go every year it’s not Halloween 🎃 with out Salem and not so scary Disney World. It’s just a fun video . 😊
So Crazy 4 Disney thanks for watching!!
You did an awesome job on covering this..the details always do matter...thanks guy ! !
Thank you!
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! 🤘
The Duo Finds definitely worth the adventure!!
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.
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!
Amazing video dude, I made the trek up from NYC when I was visiting last summer and was well worth the trip to see the locations in Salem.
James B heck yeah! I wanna go back so bad
Thank you so much for doing this video. I love Hocus Pocus.
surfergirl326 you’re welcome!!
I love it, too and watch every year since it's debut. However, this year I missed it, due to little to no advertising if it's air dates. Disappointed.
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
Very cool history! Thanks
Yes, very cool, indeed also very interesting.
Thanks for putting the time and effort in to share this with us!
Thank you kindly
Thank you for your time on researching & making this video. It’s so awesome seeing someone living your dreams and seeing these sights in person 😂
Thank you for watching! It was a lot of fun to film it all. Bucket list for sure.
Wow this is good thanks for doing a great job and showing looking these loacations
Thank you for watching
very eerie in a way🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔❣️❣️❣️❣️🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Hocus Pocus is playing this Friday night ( 10/9/20) on the FreeForm Channel.
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 ⏲️.
That’s awesome you are friends with Binx!!!
Wonder how many cats 🐈were used to film 🎥 the movie 🎥.
Yes!!! I love this! I used to work in Marblehead. Such a neat area.
Molly Ball oh no way! It’s very nice there
Lucky!
I have also been to Salem and love the movie. You did such a great job showing the filming locations.
Thank you so much!!
Such a fun experience! Salem is high on my “to visit” list.
Laurens Travels you gotta go!!

Momentary it’s very neat and quiet.
I absolutely enjoyed watching this. Thanks for all the effort, great job👍🏾

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.

Thank you! Super happy you enjoyed it!
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
Wow!!!! That was amazing thank you so much I just came across this video I don't know when you did this but oh my goodness gracious you did a fantastic job thank you so much for that such an interesting perspective in way to look at things thank you for taking the time thank you very much😘😘
Have you ever realized when Allison gives Max back his number it's a different color piece of paper
John ghoul didn’t realize that! Great trivia! I did notice the handwriting looked a little feminine
@@worldofmicah lol
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.
Awesome video! Thank you!
Saidie thank YOU for watching!
So cool. Just gained a new sub.
Awesome! Thank you!
Wicked video I’ve loved this film and seen it 100 of times. It’s crazy that it hasn’t changed much since the film was made 👍👍
The inside of the Ropes mansion was really cool though. A lot of history.
That is so cool you know James Marsden. He has a great filmography. He seems like a cool guy as well. Great stuff Micah.
The trickery of Hollywood.
Great filming locations video! 👏
Hi i enjoyed it.nice you gave a great information.all the best for hocus pocus.
Thank you!
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
K GL thank you
Excellent job!!! Thank you.
Awesome video so glad I found it. Cant wait till 2022 for hocus pocus 2. Happy halloween
Jonique'a Smith:The view is beautiful you can see the whole world from up here.🙂
Joniquea Smith 😀
9:21 your impression of Winnie had me burst out laughing😂 Thanks for making this video though, was interesting to see were it was filmed and what those locations look like today.
Hahah why thank you!
“Basketball goal” 🤣🤣🤣
I completely blanked!
The house was also the National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation house!
Yes it was
? What please explain
I seen those pumpkin bags a few times and I thought maybe they look cheesy but they work . So I think its time to get one
I think i had one at some point as a kid
We used pillowcases, (held more candy 🍬)
Omg my favorite movie ever! Do you all know, that they are coming out with a Hocus Pocus 2?? Its supposed to be released this Halloween, 2022!! Yes, the same 3 witches! I cant wait!! Just hope its not disappointing! Bc this is a legendary movie to so many of us and our childhood memories! They did a great job remaking the show, Sabrina The Teenage Witch and that was a whole series, with multiple seasons! So, I am putting alot of faith into it and crossing my fingers! I love everything Halloween, it's my favorite season! A huge thank you, for filming this video and sharing it with us! Seing all these monumental spots and scenes, are magical and brings back so many great memories! 🧙♀️🧹🔮👻🎃
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.
Very cool! I wish I could have added that scene to this video but it didn’t happen
Great effort! Enjoyed this a lot.
Fred Dillion thank you so much!!
Great video! I never knew about the Friends fountain. I've never seen American Beauty, but I believe the house you're referring to is also the Griswolds house in Christmas Vacation.
falconpunchbowl yes it is the griswalds house
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
This is fantastic, thank you! My childhood dreams have came true! I plan on visiting next year. 😊
Awesome video. Really enjoyed it. Thank you sir
Christopher Ayers thank you very much

The Witch House belonged to the Judge from the Salem Witch trials. Can’t remember his name. John something I think.
It was actually moved to the location , to make the street bigger .when cars became more common
John Proctor?
Nathaniel Hawthorne’s House of the seven Gables. I’ve been there, it’s amazing!
