The premise

Set in the volatile world of 17th century Massachusetts, 'Salem' explores what really fueled the town's infamous witch trials and dares to uncover the dark, supernatural truth hiding behind the veil of this infamous period in American history. In Salem, witches are real, but they are not who or what they seem.

Horror Vault's take

Beneath the Puritan streets of 17th-century Salem, Massachusetts, something far more dangerous than rumor and superstition is at work. This ambitious period drama reimagines the infamous witch trials not as a moral panic, but as a battleground where genuine, malevolent forces operate in the shadows of the New World. Alliances are treacherous, loyalties shift, and the line between hunter and hunted is razor-thin. Salem is a lavish descent into a world where power, faith, and dark magic are hopelessly entangled.
