Where was Hubie Halloween filmed? The House in Salem & all the Filming Locations

Set in Salem, America’s unofficial Halloween capital, Hubie Halloween was primarily filmed in the neighbouring city of Marblehead, Massachusetts.

Adam Sandler plays Hubie Dubois, the most bullied guy in town, in this Halloween-themed comedy with a Scooby-Doo–type atmosphere.



Hubie is a peculiar 40-something-year-old virgin with an imaginary girlfriend from Ontarionto who still lives with his mom (June Squibb), an accidental kinky T-shirt lover.

Here is our complete filming locations guide for this spooky-dooby Netflix movie, in order of first apparition.

Welcome to Salem, the historic city in Essex County, world-famous for its infamous late 17th-century witch trials.

But hold on! This is not Salem. Netflix actually used the more picturesque neighbouring city of Marblehead to shoot most of Hubie Halloween.

At the beginning of the movie, Hubie rides his bike through the charming streets of downtown Marblehead, lined with fine Georgian and Colonial-style homes.

The exterior of the police station — where Officer Steve Downing (Kevin James) has his office — was filmed at the old Grand Bank building at 2 Hooper Street.

Hubie works as a butcher at Crosby’s Marketplace, a real family-owned supermarket chain.

The store featured in the movie is located at 118 Washington Street in Marblehead.

The Salem Witch Museum scene is one of the few parts of Hubie Halloween actually filmed in Salem.

This iconic witchcraft centre transports visitors back to 1692, using stage sets and exhibits to recreate the infamous events, while also prompting reflection on modern-day witch hunts.

Hubie and Mrs. Dubois’s beautiful house is located at 20 Ledgewood Drive in Danvers, right next to the home of their peculiar neighbour, Walter Lambert (Steve Buscemi).

Danvers is a small Boston suburb in the North Shore region, situated just five miles north of Salem.

The barn party and the cornfield scenes were filmed on location at Moraine Farm in Beverly.

The corn maze crop was grown at Marini Farm in Ipswich and then transplanted to the plot once the plants had grown taller than Adam Sandler’s head.

The film crew needed around 1,000 plants to fill the 100-by-30-foot field.

The terrific Black Cat Diner, where Hubie’s love interest Violet Valentine (Julie Bowen) works as a waitress, is actually the Portside Diner at 2 River Street in Danvers, near the Porter River.

It’s quite amazing how the film crew transformed the Hotel Marblehead, an elegant boutique hotel “inspired by the golden age of yachting”, into the creepy haunted house seen in the movie.

But here’s a little trick: the interiors were actually filmed in a real haunted house, the Fright Kingdom in Nashua, New Hampshire.

This Halloween interactive experience features five large-scale indoor attractions, including the Victorian-style Bloodmare Manor that appears in the film.

The small lighthouse seen at the end of the movie is the Derby Wharf Light Station in Salem.

Built in 1871, it is part of the Salem Maritime National Historic Site.

Danvers, MA, is actually old Salem and the place where the executions of the accused during the witch trials were held.

Thanks for the help in finding these locations. We ate at the Portside Diner in Danvers a couple of times, and we visited Crosby's Marketplace in Marblehead a couple of times, as well as Java Sun coffee for morning joe. Honestly, Marblehead is filled with awesome neighborhoods.

I can understand why they used it for Salem, mostly. I could live there. We stayed in Salem close to the Lighthouse, so we got to visit there and hit up all the Witch museums. We also checked out a bunch of Hocus Pocus filming locations, too.

We just got back, and it was already quite crowded with Halloween visitors... I would love to see the crowds near Halloween!
