In an excerpt from 'Witches Run Amok: The Oral History of Disney's Hocus Pocus,' discover how 1993's Halloween classic brought eyes to the Mass. town.
If you’ve visited Salem, Massachusetts, in the last decade or so, you’re probably well aware that the Disney movie, the historic coastal city known for being the site of the 1692 witch trials is inundated by fans of the 1993 family film, which stars Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy as 17th-century sister witches who are accidentally resurrected by a Grateful Dead-loving high schooler and, lest we forget, virgin on Halloween night.
What these fans might not realize is that the cast and crew spent less than a month shooting in Salem. The majority of the three decade old movie was shot across multiple locations in Los Angeles, including Stage 2, the largest soundstage on the Walt Disney Studios lot, where only thirty years earlier,Yet the short time the production did spend in New England remains some of the best moments from the shoot, as many in the cast and crew told me for my new book.
We filmed in October and saw the change of seasons. Being from California, it was the first time I’d ever really witnessed that in real life. I have fond memories of visiting Walden Pond and taking all that in, the beauty of the landscape and how different it was from a Southern California desert, which was all I knew then.Taking a trip to Salem was the thing that exploded my imagination. I’d never been there before, and I went right before Halloween.
