You can book a stay at the Hocus Pocus cottage this October

It’s all just a bunch of hocus pocus! Spooky season is here, and we’re looking for new ways to run amok and get into the spirit of Halloween—including spending the night in a creepy old cottage.

Starting October 12, 2022, at 1 p.m., you have the chance to stay at the spellbinding cottage from the movie Hocus Pocus for just $31. The Sanderson sisters are opening up the Danvers, Mass., property for a two-person reservation on Oct. 20. All you have to do is request to stay and see if you get picked. 

The Hocus Pocus cottage, located just a few miles from Salem, has been recreated to look exactly like the movie set—there’s the cauldron full of witches’ brew, the black-flame candle, broomsticks for sweeping (or riding), and even the ancient spellbook. 

Guests can get ghoulish as they flip through the pages of the spellbook, try out a few enchantments, and peruse the curiosities. The stay also includes visits to some of Salem’s most haunted properties and a special screening of Hocus Pocus 2.

Almost 20 years after the original movie debuted, Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy are back to find eternal youth. Hocus Pocus 2 is now available to stream on Disney+. 

So, are you ready for a night of sorcery with the Sanderson sisters at the Hocus Pocus cottage?
