Allison Watts' house from Hocus Pocus (1993)

Filming Location Salem, Massachusetts

This is Allison Watts' house from the Halloween comedy movie Hocus Pocus (1993).

In real life, it is called Ropes Mansion and Garden, and it is situated at 318 Essex Street in Salem, Massachusetts.

The mansion features at the start of the film, when Max Dennison and his younger sister, Dani, happen across it while trick-or-treating.

The pair are amazed by the size of the house. While they are standing outside, Max looks up and says:

"Wow! Check out this house."

To which Dani responds:

"Hmph. Rich people. They'll probably make us drink cider and bob for apples."

When they go inside, Max is surprised to find out that the house actually belongs to his classmate, Allison, whom he has a romantic interest in.

After some conversation, he suggests that they all visit the Sanderson Sisters' museum.

Although Allison agrees, Dani is clearly uneasy about the idea.
