Salem is a supernatural horror series, and the first original series to be produced by the Chicago-based channel WGN America. It premiered on April 20th, 2014.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })After seven years at war fighting the French and their Native allies, John Alden returns to Massachusetts in 1692, where he finds his home town of Salem gripped by a witch panic led by his childhood rival, the fanatically devout preacher Cotton Mather. John attempts to rekindle a relationship with his pre-war lover Mary, only to discover that she has married the leader of the town, George Sibley. Unbeknownst to Alden, Mary has exerted a dark hold over her husband, and her control over the Puritans of Salem is growing ever stronger as she delves deeper into the forbidden arts of witchcraft.The show is very loosely based on the historical Salem witch trials, with a major change: witches are real, and they're pulling the strings behind the scenes to get the Puritans to kill innocent people. | |

Age Lift: Massively done with John Alden. The real man was born in 1626/1627, which would make him around 66 years old at the time of the witch trials, while in the show he's played by Shane West, a man in his 30s. | |

And I Must Scream | |

And I Must Scream: In order for Mary Sibley to control her husband, she shoves a toad familiar down his throat, leaving him unable to speak and so weak that he can't even leave his chair. In season 2, one of the Countess's favorite ways to kill people is by drowning her victim... from the inside out. And the water does not stop flowing even after the victim is dead. In the season 2 finale, Cotton Mather is now the prison for Anne's familiar, the same way George Sibley was that of Mary's. Also, after the Countess' current body is killed by "Satan", Sebastian closes the lid on his mother's body instead of giving her a new one. The series finale in the third season ends with Cotton in hell and he screams at the sight of it. This episode also has Mary temporarily switching bodies with the Countess's corpse. | |
