The entertainment peaks on 31st October with fireworks over the North River. Also, there will be a main stage with live music on Salem Common, plus bands and DJs providing entertainment around downtown.
There is, of course, crowds. Crowds are enormous, and it is easy to get lost in the crowd. However, the fun is good-natured, and many guests are in fancy dress. However, the costumes on many of the street performers are sensational.
Salem the Witch City at Halloween
After we arrived in Salem, we caught the Salem Trolley for a guided tour around the town. Usually, the trolley offers a hop-on-hop-off experience, but today was operating a non-stop circuit ride due to crowds. Also, there were enormous crowds for many of the museums, shops, and exhibitions.
Our guide on the trolley explained that today, the Saturday before Halloween, was second only to Halloween for crowds. Despite the crowds, we had a fantastic time in what was a unique festival. If you can cope with the masses, Salem is bonkers and rather enjoyable fun.

Reviews for "The 13th Ghost Curse: A Historical Perspective on Its Impact"
1. John - 2/5
I was really disappointed with "Curze of the 13th ghost". The plot was confusing and lacked depth. The characters were underdeveloped and I found it hard to connect with any of them. The pacing was also off, with the story dragging in some parts and rushing through others. Overall, I felt like there was a lot of potential in the concept of the 13th ghost, but it was not executed well in this movie.
2. Sarah - 1/5
I can honestly say that "Curze of the 13th ghost" is one of the worst horror movies I have ever seen. The special effects were subpar, the acting was cringe-worthy, and the jump scares felt forced and ineffective. The story was predictable, and I found myself rolling my eyes at the cheesy dialogue. It's clear that this movie was made on a low budget, but even so, I expected more from it. I would not recommend wasting your time watching this disappointing film.
3. Mark - 2/5
As a fan of the original "13 Ghosts", I was excited to watch "Curze of the 13th ghost". However, it failed to live up to my expectations. The story felt disjointed and lacked coherence. The attempts at horror were more laughable than scary, and the suspense was non-existent. The movie also did a poor job of connecting to the previous installment, leaving me confused and unsatisfied with the overall experience. It's a shame that this movie did not do justice to the original concept.
4. Emily - 3/5
I had high hopes for "Curze of the 13th ghost", but unfortunately, it fell short for me. The concept of the 13th ghost was intriguing, but the execution was lacking. The pacing was slow, and it took a while for the story to gain momentum. The scares were predictable, and I found myself bored in certain parts of the movie. Although there were a few interesting twists, they were not enough to redeem the film. Overall, it was an average horror movie that failed to leave a lasting impression.
5. Michael - 2/5
"Curze of the 13th ghost" had so much potential, but it failed to deliver. The plot was confusing and convoluted, making it hard to follow along. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, leaving me uninvested in their fates. The horror elements felt recycled and cliché, offering nothing new or innovative. I was left feeling disappointed and unsatisfied by the end of the movie. I would not recommend this film to horror enthusiasts looking for a thrilling experience.
