The whole thing was filmed in Rhode Island wasn’t it? All those old houses were built on chase farm in Lincoln

Yep! The majority of filming took place in Lincoln, East Prov and Newport, however there were many shots towards the ending that were reshot in NY.

The outside Walgreens / flying away scenes right after are on Atwells Ave in Providence.

They were shooting at the Walgreens on Pitman in the east side too.

The whole forest was a sound stage in the Armory on the west side. The majority of the shots were likely filmed there.

I saw the movie trailers outside St Michael's church in Bristol too.

A good number were shot on Prov's East Side using a sightseeing trolley they trucked down from Salem and parked in front of the Aldritch House / RI Historical Society on Benevolent & Cooke. (They changed the street signs to Goody & something)

I grew up next to Salem MA and now live here near where they were shooting. This neighborhood looks quite like Salem, architecturally. Just much quieter and stripped of all Salem's crowds and chintzy tourist shit.

The shooting they did here in Oct could never have been done in Salem: it is MOBBED throughout the month of Oct every year by Halloween / witch fans.

It was fun having the movie people here for months off and on and seeing how it was done.

Oh man thanks for the info and it totally makes sense not being able to film in Salem. I don’t go too much into east side so nothing seemed familiar in the movie. Thanks again

The Walgreens and The Oyster Bar on Atwells were big ones for me!

glass_star t1_ir2m6ju wrote

I clocked the oyster bar sign immediately and my boyfriend refused to believe me because the street signs said “Salem”. I had to google a picture to prove it and he still was like “maybe it’s a chain” like no… it’s called PROPS and SET DRESSING lol

Didn’t they film at Wayland Walgreens? Maybe both.

The cemetery in EP, Federal Hill and Newport, benefit street.

What threw me off was there was a part of the movie where they literally were in Newport and then edited the movie where they casually walked to a different part of Newport, when it in fact was Federal hill. Lol

Which Cemetery in EP? I might know some people there.

Lived in LA for a while, chase scenes on non-connected streets are pretty common.

Loved the overhead shots with Pell Bridge in the background!

Chase Farm in lincoln had a “bewitched and bedazzled” event this past weekend. That’s where they set up old Salem village.

I’ll probably get downvoted for this, but the sequel wasn’t great IMO. Besides the witches, I was surprised Max and the other two major characters weren’t brought back in any capacity.

Some times you age out of a movie, and that's ok. My daughter loved it, and would definitely debate your opinion.

The Walgreens on Atwells and Newport during the festival scenes.

I’m not sure why so many people verbally shit on the movie, I thought the Walgreen’s scene was quite funny.

I really enjoyed it! I found it really entertaining for what it is.

radioflea t1_ir30ere wrote

Same! To be fair people didn’t like the original in 1993 at first so it looks like history is repeating itself.

Haven't watched it yet, but I saw one of my friend's child was in it apparently. So that must be pretty cool for those kids to see themselves on tv.

Part of it was filmed at Moses Brown inin Providence. I have no idea what part (haven’t seen the movie yet) but one of my coworker’s wives works there and said they were filming at the school last year.

They filmed at both schools. I watched them film at both. Like, it's not one or the other.

Yes! I can! Grew up in Lincoln, lived in Newport for over a decade and now live in Providence. This meme was LITERALLY me, for the entire movie😅

Yes! Chase Farms, the Walgreens on Atwells and downtown Newport all very obvious

I had fun will probably watch it again next Halloween. Just cool seeing ri stuff in a movie tbh

I live right next to chase farm in Lincoln so it’s pretty cool to see that place in the movie

Great advertising strategy for Saje Kitchen on Atwells Ave in Providence with their banner in the shot across from the Walgreens scene.

Just heard a conversation about it this morning. Several people had seen the filming as well.

i have not watched it, but I bet very few actors from RI were hired! They "whoever the rich politicians are," need to bring the film tax incentives back so more films can be done here. Who was the brain surgeon who canceled the tax incentive so that all the film jobs go to Boston and their surrounding areas who???

I remember the one year i worked a lot in stunts and acting in RI was 2005/2006. Never again I either have to go to NYC or Boston (better than traveling to NYC)

I bet = talking out your butt. Lots to be made beyond actors.

continue_Banca_3223 t1_ir2ksk5 wrote

I can talk . Its called freedom of speech? is it not? I am not from the USA, but last i heard you still have freedom of speech. Besides bringing more films to RI, means jobs for a lot of actors that can help them feed their families and pay their bills. Just so you know. I still would love to know who canceled the film tax incentives. Cause they sure bring in minor players from other states even filming in Boston

PipeLayer2016 t1_ir2mnml wrote

You can speak, but also be criticized. Freedom of speech works both ways. You can only expect to be a regular film actor in 2 of the 50 states in this country. If you think that will happen in RI or even MA, you are not planning your career very well.

continue_Banca_3223 t1_ir2mv7v wrote

I have been doing stunts and acting since 2004. LA, NYC and Boston, and at one point RI. Is very nice when i don't have to travel far. Plus commercial and print work mostly in Boston of course, NYC. No, you don't have to be in NYC or LA to make a living at this. Times have changed except in RI. My question is, Why don't they bring back the film tax incentives? It would help the entire state, minor shops, actors wo are minor players etc.

Call your state representatives and ask them yourself. They are generally happy to hear from constituents. If they don't listen, vote for people who will.
