Alex Berard, assistant location manager for Olive Avenue Productions, updated the selectboard Wednesday night on the final filming of scenes for “Castle Rock,” the Stephen King-inspired television series that has been filming in town for Hulu

Beloved cult classic “Hocus Pocus,” starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy debuted in theaters 24 years ago, on July 16, 1993. Although it wasn’t a huge theatrical success, bringing in just over $37 million at the box office, the film has since become an iconic holiday film. So much so that nearly a quarter century after the film first premiered, the town of Salem, Massachusetts, has tips on where to go to see where the film was made.

A motorcycle pursues a robbery getaway driver through a Boston highway tunnel, dogging the wheelman’s BMW. But this isn’t a traditional cops and robbers chase – the vehicles move cautiously, haltingly, the bike almost like an animal stalking prey. Finally, both open the throttle and then the chase is on for real, and it will end with a nasty collision.
This is Wheelman, with Frank Grillo as the title character, caught in a life-threatening trap after a robbery goes sideways.
