EXT. OLD BURIAL HILL — DAY

Old Burial Hill

Public Last checked October 16, 2026

Old Burial Hill in Marblehead, Massachusetts, is where the daytime graveyard scenes in Hocus Pocus (1993) were shot, including Max’s run-in with the bullies. Wikipedia describes a burying ground founded in 1638 with roughly 1,000 graves, 17th-century gravestone carvings and a memorial stone for Wilmot Redd, who was executed in the 1692 Salem witch trials.

Wikipedia lists two ways in: a walkway at Redd’s Pond and a stairway at Orne and Pond streets. The ground is hilly and uneven with old stone steps, so wear shoes with grip. This is a working historic cemetery, not a set: stay on paths where possible, do not sit or climb on gravestones, and skip gravestone rubbings because many of the old stones are fragile.

Marblehead is a short drive from Salem. It has its own street parking rules, so read posted signs. See our Hocus Pocus filming locations guide for how to fit it into a trip.
