Calling all Sanderson Sisters superfans and curious coven members:
Hop aboard for a ride on a classic Salem Trolley through the real-life world of Hocus Pocus! The Hocus Pocus Trolley Tour goes beyond downtown Salem and all the way to Marblehead, covering more ground than any walking tour could.
Along the way, your guide shares behind-the-scenes stories, local lore, and the strange coincidences that tie this cult classic to the real history and witchcraft in Salem.
This tour is perfect for families, film buffs, and anyone who wants the full Hocus Pocus experience without walking eight miles round trip to Marblehead and back.
Tour Stops Included
The Ropes Mansion (Allison's House) — 318 Essex Street.
The grand house where Max and Dani go trick-or-treating expecting to bob-for-apples, and where Dani teases Max with the "Yabbos" line.
Phillips School (Jacob Bailey High School) — Near Salem Common.
The building where the Sanderson Sisters chase the kids through the halls, only to rise again after being "burned" inside.
Salem Common — Downtown
The park backing many of the film's outdoor scenes, including the moment Allison hands Max back his own phone number.
Old Town Hall — 32 Derby Square.
Site of the Halloween party where Winifred puts the whole town under her spell during her rendition of "I Put a Spell on You."
Max and Dani's House — 4 Ocean Avenue.
The Dennison family home, tower bedroom and all. This is a private residence, so we view it from the trolley.
Pioneer Village — Forest River Park.
This 17th-century recreation stood in for the opening scenes and Thackery Binx's original home, three hundred years before Max ever lit the Black Flame Candle.
Old Burial Hill Cemetery — Marblehead
One of New England's oldest burial grounds, and the spot where Max gets bullied and loses his sneakers biking home from school.
