Guide to the Hocus Pocus Filming Locations in Salem, Massachusetts
I’m going to give you one guess as to what the most-watched Halloween movie is. Did you guess Hocus Pocus? I hope so. That’s right – the most-watched Halloween movie isn’t even a horror film. Although, if you started watching Hocus Pocus when it first came out as I did, in 1993, then maybe it scared you a tiny bit? The Sanderson Sisters were no joke, okay? If you were anything like me, Hocus Pocus just started your obsession with Halloween, witches, and possibly Salem, Massachusetts? Salem was the setting of Hocus Pocus and the filming location and when I finally – finally – got to visit recently, I made…

The Best Pedestrian Suspension Bridges in the World
I had this reoccurring nightmare growing up – I think really the only reoccurring nightmare I’ve ever had. It included my mom, my brother (who was still in a stroller), and myself. We grew up going to Niagara Falls several times and that’s the setting it felt closest to. Except, there was a suspension bridge. Pretty sure there would be a load of engineering problems if that was real. Regardless, in my dream – we were crossing the wooden suspension bridge over the falls – stroller in tow (really?!) – when the next thing you know, it was snapping. While someone is deciphering that one for me, I want to…
