A "Good
Witch" Visits Salem... (see also Salem's
Summer of Sam)
Elizabeth Montgomery and Bill Asher were among 32 cast and crew members who visited Salem in 1970 to shoot scenes to be used primarily in 6 Fall episodes.
When the "Salem Saga" episode of "Bewitched" was aired on October 8, 1970, Mayor Samuel Zoll declared that day as "Bewitched Day in Historic Salem". Little did he know that 35 years later, Salem would experience a witch hysteria of another sort. This 40 page full color and high quality 3D pictorial tale takes you through the history of TV Land's "Bewitched" memorial statue and the controversy surrounding it. It's about a "good witch" who once visited Salem and a bronzed memorial statue to honor her that was met with both excitement and resentment.
One of a kind and in mint condition. The booklet is printed on premium quality glossy paper for highest resolution and comes packaged in plastic re-sealable sleeve with easy fit cyan and red 3D glasses.
Experience Salem's newest Witch trial in 3D! This 40-page beautifully done booklet (44 with cover) takes you to the center stage of the dramatic events surrounding the controversial unveiling of the Samantha Stephens statue on June 15, 2005.
