If you think back to the last half hour of the movie, it makes sense. Max’s RoomĮven if you could, interior shots of Max’s bedroom in the lookout tower were filmed on a sound stage. Even if you could, interior shots of the Dennisons’ home were filmed on a sound stage. It goes without saying that you can’t go inside. So Max and Dani could easily walk or cycle from their home to Thackery Binx’s village.īut unlike the Governor’s Faire House, Max and Dani’s house location is a private home, in a residential neighbourhood. Max Dennison’s house in Hocus Pocus is on Ocean Drive, just a couple of blocks from the Pioneer Village. The area around the Governor’s Faire House is pretty interesting itself, it’s actually designated as a herb garden. Something we do see onscreen, is Thackery Binx calling to Emily outside the house. So you can get right into the historical atmosphere of Thackery and Emily’s era. We don’t get much of a house tour in the movie – but the real Pioneer Village house is set up in 17th Century style. Visitors have been snapping pictures of the Governor’s Faire House for the best part of a century! This house has been a historical attraction for so long, it’s got its own history. Thackery and Emily’s house location is the Governor’s Faire House at the Pioneer Village – look out for it during the opening scene. Another village within the museum, Historic Patuxet, represents traditional Wampanoag life. If you’re wondering, the museum takes its name from Governor William Bradford’s historical spelling. While this open air museum looks like it opens out onto the bay like Salem’s Pioneer Village, it actually sits alongside Eel River. It’s designed to recreate the original settlement around Plymouth Harbor, shielded from the modern town by leafy woodland. ![]() Overhead Shots of 1693 Salemīut the opening shot pans over a different living history museum, Plimoth Patuxet’s 17th Century English Village. It’s one of the main attractions of Salem’s Forest River Park, and also takes the title of America’s first living history museum. It was built back in 1930 to mark the 300th anniversary of Massachusetts. The heritage village is now a piece of history itself. The Old Salem scenes in Hocus Pocus were filmed at the Pioneer Village on West Avenue, Salem, MA. ![]() Fall foliage had to be added by the set dressers. According to Jay and Ice actors Tobias Jelinek and Larry Bagbie, Christmas decorations were going up around the town as they filmed. In a 2020 interview with E! News, cast members revealed that many of the Salem scenes were filmed late in the year. While the October start date was authentically autumnal, things changed as the shoot ran into December. The original Hocus Pocus Salem scenes were filmed in autumn 1992, setting the scene for a real Massachusetts fall. A couple of key sets were custom built on a sound stage at Walt Disney Studios with its own magical movie history. Several iconic Hocus Pocus were filmed near the WandaVision and Bewitched houses, at the former Columbia Ranch. ![]() Hocus Pocus was filmed around the real Salem’s Washington Square, Derby Square and Essex Street, living history museums in Salem and Plymouth, Marblehead’s Crocker Park and Old Burial Hill, at the former Park Plaza Hotel and a Californian middle school. Many scenes really were filmed around the real Massachusetts town – thought the Hocus Pocus sequel is set to film in Rhode Island instead. Mixing Salem’s history with a story co-writer David Kirschner came up with to entertain his daughter, the Disney movie became a cult classic. When Max Dennison (Omri Katz) lights the Black Flame Candle, they’re brought back to life in 1993, and it’s up to Max, his sister Dani (Thora Birch), and their friend Allison (Vinessa Shaw), to stop them. In Hocus Pocus, Winifred (Bette Midler), Mary (Kathy Najimy) and Sarah Sanderson (Sarah Jessica Parker) turn 17th Century teen Thackery Binx (Jason Marsden) into a black cat before their deaths.
