2. Hocus Pocus

The Sanderson sisters are witches who kidnap Salem's children because they want to steal their youth. Thankfully, they were deported, but not before declaring young victims. Move to the 1990s, when a boy named Max accidentally woke up the witch on Halloween night. With the help of his little sister Daniel, friend Allison and a talking cat named Binx, Max must defeat the witch and banish them again.

Anyone who grew up in the 1990s might have watched H Focus P Focus every year on Halloween, but most don't know this movie was shot in a coastal community. As the film showed, these houses are located in Salem, Massachusetts. The area, which is famous for magical folklore, has existed for hundreds of years. A quick look at Google Maps shows that it is a few hundred feet from the shoreline. The Ropes Mansion is used as the site for the fictional home of Allison. The house is a historic landmark in Salem that is open to visitors.
