    Keychain from the gift shop
    Priscilla S.

    This was a cute museum full of lots of color. When you enter, you're given 3D glasses to use throughout the experience. My favorite part of the museum was the display of a miniature Michael Myers home. You also get a dose of nostalgia with Halloween toys from 1991 that were in McDonald's Happy Meals. They also had Halloween Barbie dolls on display. It's a cool place to take kids. After you're done in the museum, they have a small gift shop that has really cute souvenirs.

    This was a really cool little immersive experience that we stumbled on by mistake. The entrance fee was only $12 which is totally reasonable for something like this especially when they want you to spend money in the gift shop afterwards. I never understand those other attractions that charge 40 or 50 or even $60 for a ticket and then want you to go spend money in the gift shop no most of us are not able to do that We can't afford it we're regular people. So anyway the price of this at just $12 was dope. The experience was super groovy. I don't know how they got the effects to do what they do but I kept thinking that I was stepping off a step that wasn't there or into the air. I love the neon, glow lights and psychedelic vibe. I highly recommend this experience.

    This museum was cute and had really cool neon colors. In addition, they provide you 3D glasses that you can walk around with and the words/lights jump out at you which is super cool. They said that when you take pictures with your phone, if you project the pictures on your tv and use the glasses, the 3D effect will still work which is cool. The museum also gave us 10% off to use at the store next store which was nice. I at first was worried that the museum would be a fun house/jump scare but was very thankful that it wasn't. It was super cool to see all the movie props/artifacts, such as from the Haunted Mansion, Hocus Pocus, Halloween, Halloween Town, Nightmare Before Christmas, etc!

    This was not the best museum in Salem that honor belongs to a museum down the road however it was my second favorite. This was such a cool spot to take pictures and videos and look at interesting things and even take a walk down memory lane with some of the memorabilia. The museum is absolutely worth the price and I would for sure go back again next time I am in Salem.

    This is a surprising fun little museum that is located in Salem. It cost $10 to enter. We went in there to get out of the rain and ended up having a great time! It's a self-guided tour through different artifacts. Even though it was small, it held a lot of treasures from Halloween movies, it was awesome to see some of the props from my favorite Halloween movies, including Halloween Town, Haunted Mansion, Ghostbusters and more. It is fun for the whole family. It's not a scary museum. I loved the neon colors throughout the museum or made it fun and exciting to see what you would find. Take your time through it to get your monies worth. If you don't read any of the information, you can walk through in like 5 to 10 minutes or spend 30 minutes reading everything. Pictures are encouraged. I had a blast.

    Is this the best museum I've ever been to? No. BUT if you are a witch or Halloween theme movie fan this is the place for you! They had a ton of cool props from movies which we thought were pretty cool. Some cute places for photos if you'd like but that's about it. Goes through really quickly.

    If you'd like to pay $10 to see a lot of neon paint and some McDonald's toys from the 80s-- which I did, personally-- this is your place. Bright and colorful and leans into the campy angle. It has no pretensions to being anything it is now. It's small, but it's cheery and can be a nice quick moment in your day.

    I didn't expect the 3d glasses to enhance the experience so much - I don't even like 3d - but the neon highlights + glasses made even staring at the floor fun. The decor is super cool. The entire space is perhaps a bit small, but not if you are a Halloween nut and take in all the details. There are some really awesome relics in here, like Nightmare Before Christmas props. Just a great vibe. Kids loved (8 and 9) it and so did I.

    Didn't visit the actual museum just the store. The museum area seamed pretty small and not sure of the cost but I feel like you could get more of your monies worth in one of the nearby historical museums. Not the highlight of a trip but something cute to checkout if you're in town. The selections were limited but cute. They played Nightmare before christmas music and had Peanuts, Nightmare before christmas, horror films memorabilia.

We got tickets through the GoCity card, and had to make our reservations for a time slot slot the day before. We arrived and checked in, got our sticker, and then waited at a second area to enter the museum when it was our turn. First part of the "tour" was a presentation of the history of the trials with creepy looking mannequins on display. I recommend you sit on the stools in the center of the room for best viewing as you have to rotate around left on your seat to see each display as they are presented. It's actually quite informative but the presentation of it was kind of cheesy to be honest. After that is over, you are taken to the back end of the museum where there are exhibits about how witches are presented in movies (ie the witches of Oz), and defining witch hunting then and now. There's a gift shop for all things witchy at the end.

It's especially cool to explore a historic building itself instead of a museum that's just set up. There are some real relics and great information panels. It is on the smaller side, but that actually works well if you have a busy day in Salem, since it's a solid 40 minute stop. There's also a cute small gift shop at the end. The only thing I would change is giving a little more history. A lot of the panels talked about theories instead of real events, and also there were a lot of questions that came up while reading.

Corwin and fellow local magistrate John Hathorne not only took these accusations seriously but also contributed to the mass hysteria that led to the execution of 19 innocent people and the imprisonment of more than 150 others. No trial-related activities were conducted in this house, and very few items on display originally belonged to Jonathan Corwin. This house is the only authentic building that survives from the Salem witch hunt era. It was moved from its original location because of road construction.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for kids (ages 6-12). You can either buy your tickets while waiting in line using a QR code or at the counter once you go inside. They do not allow photos or recording while walking through the gallery - the staff even states that they are watching on the surveillance cameras for anyone pulling out their phones. We enjoyed walking through each section and reading about each horror character and the fun facts about the movies or TV shows they were from. I really liked that the characters actually looked like the people and not some knock-off wax museum. Some of my favorites were the wall of actor face molds and the slasher room. I also like that you can walk through each room and area at your own pace and I never once felt rushed by the other people or staff. They have a small gift shop with t-shirts and other items you can buy. You are allowed to take photos inside of the gift shop. This is a must if you are a horror fan!

In messaging Hocus Pocus Tours with a couple questions about the tour and travel to and from Salem, the owner Susan replied immediately and suggested that I call her. This led to a one hour phone conversation where Susan was so gracious with her time, knowledge, and suggestions, not just about how to make the most of the tour, but how to appreciate a day in Salem. I can see why those who had the opportunity to take the in-person tour with Susan really enjoyed it. Covid changed the business model and Hocus Pocus now offers a self-guided tour by purchasing one of two tour apps. I opted for the $19.99 grand tour and it was well worth it. It has 37 points of interest. The app is user friendly and well designed. It provides a map of all stops, tracks where you are, and guides you to the next stop that you select on the tour. When you get to your stop, you can confirm you're at the right spot by comparing a photo of the site with what you see. Then you click on a 2-3 minute audio recording that provides a great snapshot of the significance of the site. As Susan had pointed out to me, there is much more to Salem than the historic witchcraft trials. It includes author Nathaniel Hawthorne's The House of Seven Gables, America's oldest candy company, and other interesting sites. Of everything I visited, I experienced a very deep emotional connection with the 1692 Witchcraft Memorial with 20 stones dedicated to each of the victims of the witchcraft trial. The tour includes brief descriptions of some of the victims including those written about in Arthur Miller's The Crucible. If you plan to visit Salem, I highly recommend this tour. All sites can be visited on the outside and some on the inside at no charge. Some sites, such as The House of Seven Gables, charge separate admission fees. If you want to travel to Salem and don't have a car, the ferry from Boston offers a nice, scenic, and entertaining 50 minute ride. The commuter trains run more frequently and can come in handy if the ferry schedule coming or going doesn't meet your needs. There are plenty of good places to dine at to break up the tour. We had lunch at FINZ and really enjoyed it (I'll post separately about that).

It really is eye opening to hear the stories oof the witch trials and how the witch trials began and who all was wrongly persecuted. The tour guides were so nice and explained everything with such great details. This tour was definitely the highlight of our trip in Salem. I highly highly recommend Hocus Pocus Tours, I learned so much regarding Salem, the witch trials, the history behind the two, and a little bit of Hocus Pocus and Bewitched. So much fun!
