Hubie Dubois (Adam Sandler) thanklessly spends every Halloween making sure the residents of his hometown, Salem, celebrate safely and play by the rules. But this year, an escaped criminal and a mysterious new neighbor have Hubie on high alert. When people start disappearing, it’s up to Hubie to convince the police (Kevin James, Kenan Thompson) and townsfolk that the monsters are real, and only he can stop them.
Hubie Halloween is a hilarious family film about an unlikely hero with an all-star cast including Julie Bowen, Ray Liotta, Noah Schnapp, Steve Buscemi, and Maya Rudolph, produced by Happy Madison.

About this event
Pulling Strings: An Evening of Magic with Caroline Gayle
Magic has long been regarded as a mystery to the uninitiated. A puzzle to solve. In reality, magic is simply a reflection of the person who holds it. During this evening of intimate performance, Caroline Gayle (As seen on Fool Us) will guide the audience into the world of illusion, and allow each person in attendance to take magic into their own hands. What string will you pull?

These intimate nights of parlor magic with Caroline Gayle will be hosted at Nocturne, a boutique in the heart of Witch City inspired by the night. Upon arrival, you will be checked in and your hosts will offer drinks and a bar of sweets before guiding you to the parlor to take your seat. The shows will start promptly at 8:30pm each evening.
Nocturne will host three Tuesday evenings in October with Caroline. Please choose which date you would like to attend and register accordingly. Given the small venue, seats will be limited and we are unable to provide refunds.
We look forward to seeing you for this very special event!

About this event
Two Shows
Be a part of Salem’s close-up magic experience! Join an intimate audience and explore the limits of luck. Local magician Evan Northrup presents a collection of unforgettable illusions inspired by superstitions, intuition, and unlikely twists of fate.
Each seating is limited to a small number of audience members so that everyone is within a few feet of the magic. While there’s nothing inappropriate for younger audience members, this show has been designed for people over 18 years old.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY:
“Your show was AMAZING! We had so much fun and were mystified. Can’t wait for you to be back in Salem to be dazzled once again.”
Kim Driscoll, Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts
“We had a certain expectation for a magician. Not only did you deliver, you went above and beyond. You brought a life to the show that was felt by all.”
Don MacLean, Regional VP of Operations, Kings Dining and Entertainment
“I am now a firm believer that magic happens!”
Boston Teachers Union
“Exquisitely responsive to the audience in front of you. You are a wonderful storyteller as well as a magician, drawing everyone in so we were laughing one moment, and in the next we were so rapt you could hear a pin drop.”
Incredibly Eloquent Audience Member!
Is the show scary?
Nope! There are no jump scares or “haunted house” moments. You can expect some incredible, interactive close up magic and perhaps some eerie coincidences; but we’re not here to scare you (there’s plenty of that in Salem already!)
Is this a seance?
No. This show is sleight of hand and performance magic! Some occult symbols may make an appearance (who doesn’t love Tarot Cards?), but we won’t be actively communicating with deceased folks or determining our futures… … probably.
Is there an age limit?
While there’s nothing inappropriate for younger audiences, this show has been specifically designed for people about 18 years old and over. We’ve had younger audiences members who are interested in magic or theater, and they’re able to participate, but this is NOT a magic show meant for kids!
Where is the show exactly?
Inside Professor Spindlewink’s World of Wizardry – in the heart of downtown Salem right on Essex Street! After the rest of the building closes down for the night, one room comes alive with magic! All you have to do is get to the main entrance and we’ll take it from there! 194 3/4 Essex Street, Salem

Each seating is limited to a small number of audience members so that everyone is within a few feet of the magic. While there’s nothing inappropriate for younger audience members, this show has been designed for people over 18 years old.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY:
“Your show was AMAZING! We had so much fun and were mystified. Can’t wait for you to be back in Salem to be dazzled once again.”
Kim Driscoll, Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts
“We had a certain expectation for a magician. Not only did you deliver, you went above and beyond. You brought a life to the show that was felt by all.”
Don MacLean, Regional VP of Operations, Kings Dining and Entertainment
“I am now a firm believer that magic happens!”
Boston Teachers Union
“Exquisitely responsive to the audience in front of you. You are a wonderful storyteller as well as a magician, drawing everyone in so we were laughing one moment, and in the next we were so rapt you could hear a pin drop.”
Incredibly Eloquent Audience Member!
Is the show scary?
Nope! There are no jump scares or “haunted house” moments. You can expect some incredible, interactive close up magic and perhaps some eerie coincidences; but we’re not here to scare you (there’s plenty of that in Salem already!)
Is this a seance?
No. This show is sleight of hand and performance magic! Some occult symbols may make an appearance (who doesn’t love Tarot Cards?), but we won’t be actively communicating with deceased folks or determining our futures… … probably.
Is there an age limit?
While there’s nothing inappropriate for younger audiences, this show has been specifically designed for people about 18 years old and over. We’ve had younger audiences members who are interested in magic or theater, and they’re able to participate, but this is NOT a magic show meant for kids!
Where is the show exactly?
Inside Professor Spindlewink’s World of Wizardry – in the heart of downtown Salem right on Essex Street! After the rest of the building closes down for the night, one room comes alive with magic! All you have to do is get to the main entrance and we’ll take it from there! 194 3/4 Essex Street, Salem

About this event
Pulling Strings: An Evening of Magic with Caroline Gayle
Magic has long been regarded as a mystery to the uninitiated. A puzzle to solve. In reality, magic is simply a reflection of the person who holds it. During this evening of intimate performance, Caroline Gayle (As seen on Fool Us) will guide the audience into the world of illusion, and allow each person in attendance to take magic into their own hands. What string will you pull?

These intimate nights of parlor magic with Caroline Gayle will be hosted at Nocturne, a boutique in the heart of Witch City inspired by the night. Upon arrival, you will be checked in and your hosts will offer drinks and a bar of sweets before guiding you to the parlor to take your seat. The shows will start promptly at 8:30pm each evening.
Nocturne will host three Tuesday evenings in October with Caroline. Please choose which date you would like to attend and register accordingly. Given the small venue, seats will be limited and we are unable to provide refunds.
We look forward to seeing you for this very special event!

“We had a certain expectation for a magician. Not only did you deliver, you went above and beyond. You brought a life to the show that was felt by all.”
Don MacLean, Regional VP of Operations, Kings Dining and Entertainment
“I am now a firm believer that magic happens!”
Boston Teachers Union
“Exquisitely responsive to the audience in front of you. You are a wonderful storyteller as well as a magician, drawing everyone in so we were laughing one moment, and in the next we were so rapt you could hear a pin drop.”
Incredibly Eloquent Audience Member!
Is the show scary?
Nope! There are no jump scares or “haunted house” moments. You can expect some incredible, interactive close up magic and perhaps some eerie coincidences; but we’re not here to scare you (there’s plenty of that in Salem already!)
Is this a seance?
No. This show is sleight of hand and performance magic! Some occult symbols may make an appearance (who doesn’t love Tarot Cards?), but we won’t be actively communicating with deceased folks or determining our futures… … probably.
Is there an age limit?
While there’s nothing inappropriate for younger audiences, this show has been specifically designed for people about 18 years old and over. We’ve had younger audiences members who are interested in magic or theater, and they’re able to participate, but this is NOT a magic show meant for kids!
Where is the show exactly?
Inside Professor Spindlewink’s World of Wizardry – in the heart of downtown Salem right on Essex Street! After the rest of the building closes down for the night, one room comes alive with magic! All you have to do is get to the main entrance and we’ll take it from there! 194 3/4 Essex Street, Salem

About this event
Pulling Strings: An Evening of Magic with Caroline Gayle
Magic has long been regarded as a mystery to the uninitiated. A puzzle to solve. In reality, magic is simply a reflection of the person who holds it. During this evening of intimate performance, Caroline Gayle (As seen on Fool Us) will guide the audience into the world of illusion, and allow each person in attendance to take magic into their own hands. What string will you pull?

These intimate nights of parlor magic with Caroline Gayle will be hosted at Nocturne, a boutique in the heart of Witch City inspired by the night. Upon arrival, you will be checked in and your hosts will offer drinks and a bar of sweets before guiding you to the parlor to take your seat. The shows will start promptly at 8:30pm each evening.
Nocturne will host three Tuesday evenings in October with Caroline. Please choose which date you would like to attend and register accordingly. Given the small venue, seats will be limited and we are unable to provide refunds.
We look forward to seeing you for this very special event!

Storytelling Experience tickets include timed entrance to PEM’s historic houses for storytelling, as well as access to fireside entertainment.
Fireside Music & Magic tickets include access to fireside entertainment only, and do not admit guests inside the historic houses.
This October, step into Salem’s dark past on a candlelit visit to PEM’s historic houses. Hear haunting tales of murder and mystery based on real events, told by storytellers dressed in period garb. To calm your beating heart, we’ll have warm drinks and bites available for purchase, like hotdogs, popcorn and baked goods from local favorite Ziggy’s. Plus, join us around the fire to warm up with fiddle music and hair-raising tricks from our roving magician.
Storytelling takes place inside three of PEM’s historic houses: the John Ward (1684), Quaker Meeting (about 1688), and Derby-Beebe Summer house (1799). On your journey, you’ll come face to face with the most dangerous nurse in New England, travel down a dark road prowled by a whistling highwayman and hear the confession of a girl who believes she’s being tormented by the specters of the Salem Witch Trials – with disastrous results for her neighbors. The storytelling experience lasts about 45 minutes.
These stories are intended for mature audiences and contain themes (mental illness, drug use, murder and suicide) that some may find disturbing. Discretion is advised.
GET TICKETS
Tickets are nonrefundable. Present your Haunted Histories ticket for $5 off general admission to PEM through Halloween. Guests must arrive 15 minutes prior to their ticketed time for Storytelling Experiences. Tickets are single-entry; guests are not permitted to leave and return except to seek out restroom facilities.

The course provides two sections of in and outs allowing runners to pass their fellow Devils and admire all of the unique and entertaining costumes. You’ll know you’re nearing the end of the race when you begin running through an eerie spooky foggy finish.

Two Shows
Be a part of Salem’s close-up magic experience! Join an intimate audience and explore the limits of luck. Local magician Evan Northrup presents a collection of unforgettable illusions inspired by superstitions, intuition, and unlikely twists of fate.
Each seating is limited to a small number of audience members so that everyone is within a few feet of the magic. While there’s nothing inappropriate for younger audience members, this show has been designed for people over 18 years old.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY:
“Your show was AMAZING! We had so much fun and were mystified. Can’t wait for you to be back in Salem to be dazzled once again.”

A generation born to war and horror comes of age. They refuse to repeat the past…
It is 1794 and Americans lust after the bounties of their newfound freedom. Harvard Medical students, eager to get ahead of their soft European counterparts, will do anything to succeed. Chief among them is Jon, driven to cure his dying sister.
Sinew & Soul is the fourth Daemonologie exploring social change, gender, and the supernatural: bodily autonomy, identity, gender roles, class, scientific and medical ethics, and the power to decide one’s own fate.
Intramersive’s open world, interactive theater encourages audiences to engage with the events around them. Audiences decide the story but don’t have to run the house.

A generation born to war and horror comes of age. They refuse to repeat the past…
It is 1794 and Americans lust after the bounties of their newfound freedom. Harvard Medical students, eager to get ahead of their soft European counterparts, will do anything to succeed. Chief among them is Jon, driven to cure his dying sister.
Sinew & Soul is the fourth Daemonologie exploring social change, gender, and the supernatural: bodily autonomy, identity, gender roles, class, scientific and medical ethics, and the power to decide one’s own fate.
Intramersive’s open world, interactive theater encourages audiences to engage with the events around them. Audiences decide the story but don’t have to run the house.
Intramersive Media LLC is a queer, female owned and run company that believes in consent forward practices and fair sustainable practices.

About this event
Two Shows
Be a part of Salem’s close-up magic experience! Join an intimate audience and explore the limits of luck. Local magician Evan Northrup presents a collection of unforgettable illusions inspired by superstitions, intuition, and unlikely twists of fate.
Each seating is limited to a small number of audience members so that everyone is within a few feet of the magic. While there’s nothing inappropriate for younger audience members, this show has been designed for people over 18 years old.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY:
“Your show was AMAZING! We had so much fun and were mystified. Can’t wait for you to be back in Salem to be dazzled once again.”
Kim Driscoll, Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts
“We had a certain expectation for a magician. Not only did you deliver, you went above and beyond. You brought a life to the show that was felt by all.”
Don MacLean, Regional VP of Operations, Kings Dining and Entertainment
“I am now a firm believer that magic happens!”
Boston Teachers Union
“Exquisitely responsive to the audience in front of you. You are a wonderful storyteller as well as a magician, drawing everyone in so we were laughing one moment, and in the next we were so rapt you could hear a pin drop.”
Incredibly Eloquent Audience Member!
Is the show scary?
Nope! There are no jump scares or “haunted house” moments. You can expect some incredible, interactive close up magic and perhaps some eerie coincidences; but we’re not here to scare you (there’s plenty of that in Salem already!)
Is this a seance?
No. This show is sleight of hand and performance magic! Some occult symbols may make an appearance (who doesn’t love Tarot Cards?), but we won’t be actively communicating with deceased folks or determining our futures… … probably.
Is there an age limit?
While there’s nothing inappropriate for younger audiences, this show has been specifically designed for people about 18 years old and over. We’ve had younger audiences members who are interested in magic or theater, and they’re able to participate, but this is NOT a magic show meant for kids!
Where is the show exactly?
Inside Professor Spindlewink’s World of Wizardry – in the heart of downtown Salem right on Essex Street! After the rest of the building closes down for the night, one room comes alive with magic! All you have to do is get to the main entrance and we’ll take it from there! 194 3/4 Essex Street, Salem
