Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The show filmed in Louisiana, not Massachusetts, because actual Salem looks too modern and touristy for 1690s horror.
Salem arrived during the 2014 witchcraft revival—American Horror Story: Coven had just finished, and the show leaned hard into 'feminist monster' discourse that would dominate later horror.
