Hocus Pocus and Hollywood - We did the Hocus Pocus Movie Tour with Bob! He was very fun and had lots of stories. We visited the normal Hocus Pocus sites but got a great history of other “Hollywood” related happenings in Salem.

Hocus Pocus tour was a blast - I always knew that the first Hocus Pocus movie was shot in Salem so we wanted to take the tour. I love the first movie and my kids do too. We chose this tour because another Hocus Pocus tour walks almost four miles and my kids would never have made it. This was shorter but super fun. We saw the school, Allison's House, the common and motr. And they told us about other Halloween movies shot here. We had a blast.

Hocus Pocus. Time to focus - I have always enjoyed the Hocus Pocus movie so I wanted to see the sites as did my family, who I made watch the movie before we went to Salem. It was so fun to see all these locations. And we even heard of other movies shot in Salem including a couple more Halloweenish films. So fun. Salem is a movie hub.

A fascinating tour - We had such a great tour. We saw all the locations were they shot Hocus Pocus. And we also heard about all these other Halloween and witchcraft movies shot in Salem. We didn’t realize that Sarah’s great plus grandmother was accused of witchcraft during the trials. A really fascinating tour. We’d highly recommend.

Too fast to keep up - I am sure the tour would have been great but the guide would not slow down enough for my handicap mother and us to catch up before he was done and moving on to the next stop. We were in a wheelchair and he just didn’t seem to care. We left after missing 3 stops
