Salem Wax Museum
About
Salem Wax Museum, now known as Salem Wax: A Halloween Experience, has operated in downtown Salem for more than 30 years. It sits next to the Witch Trials Memorial and the Charter Street Burying Point and is part of the Salem Haunted Neighborhood, a cluster of immersive attractions that includes the Haunted Witch Village, Frankenstein’s Castle haunted house, The Lost Library and its Black Box Theater, and a live spellcasting show led by practicing witches.
The neighborhood anchors Salem’s Haunted Happenings season. Its gift shops sell maritime gifts, candy, books, T-shirts and Pagan and Wiccan supplies, and the Spirit Market adds local vendors, live music and pop-up events. Year-round programming includes DIY workshops, comedy nights and candlelit ghost walking tours through the city, so there is something to do outside October too, and the attractions sit within a short walk of the Peabody Essex Museum and other downtown sights.
