Located in the Heart of Salem
Salem is a bucket-list destination for vampires, witches, and lovers of the macabre. Nestled in a historic brick-front building at 244 Essex Street, Vampfangs Salem sits at the crossroads of the city's vibrant energy, just diagonal from the famed Samantha Statue. As the only dedicated vampire shop in New England—and one of only three in the entire country—it’s a must-visit for those who seek the extraordinary.
When to Visit: A Different Experience Every Season
No matter when you visit, Vampfangs offers something unique. Window displays evolve with the seasons, featuring eerie winter aesthetics, bold pops of color, or the latest autumn releases. If you’re visiting in October, plan ahead—lines can be long, especially on weekends. Arriving early in the morning or later in the evening offers the best chance to explore without the wait. Weekdays are also quieter, allowing for a more immersive experience.
The Vampfangs Aesthetic: Where Old Meets New
Inside, the space is a masterful blend of gothic grandeur and contemporary edge. Rich, dark florals contrast against original tin ceilings and exposed brick, creating an ambiance that is both hauntingly beautiful and effortlessly modern. A centerpiece of the shop is the salvaged brick display—historic pieces from Salem’s Essex Street Pedestrian Walkway, carefully preserved and repurposed. From time to time, Vampfangs releases limited-edition Salem Brick Dust, bottled with intention, offering visitors a tangible piece of the city’s magickal history.
