Witch costumes, magic mirrors and laughter in Salem’s theatrical cottage

You’ll step into Salem’s Witch Cottage set and get styled in your own witch or wizard costume from their huge wardrobe. A friendly local photographer guides you through playful poses among potions and spell books before revealing your photos at the end. It’s fun, welcoming, and surprisingly memorable — especially if you let yourself be a little silly.

The Experience

I didn’t expect to laugh so much getting dressed as a witch in Salem. The Witch Cottage set was smaller than I’d pictured — more like someone’s secret attic than a movie studio. Our stylist, Mia, had this way of holding up capes and hats so you felt like you were about to join a coven (in the best way). She found me a velvet robe that actually fit — not always easy for me — and pinned my hat just right. There was this faint herbal smell near the apothecary bookcase, probably from all the dried lavender and something else I couldn’t place.

The photographer cracked jokes while we tried out different poses by the altar and that big magic mirror (I did my best “fairest of them all” face but mostly just giggled). My partner went full wizard with a crooked staff and kept making spells up on the spot — “abraca-latte” was his best one. It wasn’t rushed at all; we got time to play around with props and even sneak in a selfie or two between shots. Honestly, I forgot about feeling self-conscious after the first few minutes.

Afterward, we sat together while they showed us some of the photos on a screen — I looked more mischievous than spooky, which felt right. The whole thing took about 45 minutes but it stuck with me longer. Maybe it was just being silly in Salem, or maybe it was how everyone there seemed to really enjoy what they do. Either way, I still smile thinking about that velvet robe and Mia’s laugh echoing off the wooden beams.
