This was a fun experience. Sit up front if you like to be scared. Sit in the back if you'd just like to watch the front-rowers get startled. An informative and fun show. We enjoyed this as part of a package with the Ghosts and Legends trolley tour. more

Waited in the tiny lobby for 20 minutes then watched a show that was maybe 20 minutes itself. It was cheesy and I learned absolutely nothing new about Salem. The best part of the whole show was the display in the lobby. Skip it! more

This had to be one of the best attractions in Salem that we had gone to. The effects were great and the owner's/operator's are some of the friendliest we met. Parts of the show made people jump and was funny to watch. What amazed us the most was the fact that only one person does the entire show...by himself. Worth... more

I am the Motor coach Tour Coordintor for Yankee Trails World Travel in Rensselaer, NY, and have included the Witch's Cottage in our Salem itineraries for the past five years. I highly recommend the Witch's Cottage to everyone I know that visits Salem. Senior citizens, adults, and kids alike have returned on our coach excitedly talking about the show. My... more

On a 'girls day out' to Salem, our first stop was the Witches Cottage performance. We both enjoyed the show and it was a nice start to our day with a mini-history of witchcraft in Salem with a theatric twist. The performance is short and I think it is one person doing the whole thing with a few creative costume... more

The Witches Cottage at the Griffin Theatre is a little bit away from the main thoroughfares, but it is worth the trip. It is a short (20-25 minute) stage show, a one-man show, with an intimate atmosphere, creepy music, a great stage, and a great actor. Not sure if different showtimes have different actors/actresses, but Eric was our actor. The... more

for a two man show it was really cool, loved the small, intimate theatre. and the lighting and stage affects were not expected for such a small theatre, probably the best thing in Salem. more

The Witches Cottage is a one-man show. The owner introduces himself, gives you a brief introduction on what the play will be about, then the lights dim and the 'magic' happens. We almost didn't go to this one. There were four people, us and a couple. He put on a show just for us. His movements are very sharp and... more

We were in Salem the last week of July and had the opportunity to go to the Witches Cottage. It was our absolute favorite attraction. We sat in the second row and I would totally recommend you find a seat up front. Scary show but very informative at the same time with enough humor to make it all worthwhile. Don't... more
