John Carradine lends his distinctive voice to this captivating documentary, which delves into the rich history of Salem, Massachusetts. Once the most prominent seaport in the New World, Salem is also infamous for its witch trials, a dark chapter that continues to fascinate. As the seaport’s influence waned, the town became the backdrop for the life and work of Nathaniel Hawthorne, one of America’s most celebrated authors. Drawing inspiration from Salem’s haunting past, Hawthorne crafted his masterpiece, The Scarlet Letter.
