SALEM, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Thursday marks the first day of a new format for the Salem Horror Fest.

A redesigned schedule features events across the city over two weekends.

"We're just having pop-up screenings in all kinds of places," Festival Director Kay Lynch said.

Night one kicks off with a screening of "The People's Joker" at the Peabody Essex Museum.

Opening night was originally slotted to feature a Q&A with "Hocus Pocus" star Kathy Najimy, but the actor canceled her appearance.
