Weather Delays Salem Filming For Adam Sandler Movie

SALEM, MA — Scheduled filming for "Hubie Halloween," the Adam Sandler movie for Netflix set in Salem and being shot in several North Shore locations, was moved to Thursday after a forecast calling for thunderstorms scrapped Wednesday's planned shoot. There will be parking restrictions and street closures around Salem Common Thursday from 6:30 p.m. to 2 a.m., weather permitting.

Happy Madison, Sandler's production company, will also be filming next Monday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., but there will only be parking restrictions, with no street closures requested.

Shooting began Monday in Marblehead and other scenes will be shot in Danvers.

Sandler was spotted in several North Shore businesses in recent days, including grabbing lunch with his mothe rat Organic Garden Cafe in Beverly last week.

Sandler has filmed several movies in the region, most notably "Grown Ups" and its sequel, both of which made use of several well-known North Shore locations. Last month, his production company had an open casting call for "Hubie Halloween."

The synopsis of the film on the application to Danvers officials reads "Despite his devotion to his hometown of Salem, Massachusetts (and its legendary Halloween celebration), Hubie Dubois is a figure of mockery for kids and adults alike. But this year, something really is going bump in the night, and it's up to Hubie to save Halloween."
