With Halloween around the corner, there are many spooky shows and movies options available. Disney Channel has shows such as Goosebumps or movies, like Haunted Mansion.
In 1998, Halloween town was one of the first Disney Channel’s movies? According to the Disney+ plot description, “Marnie and her younger siblings travel with their estranged grandmother, who is a good witch, to Halloween town—a place where creepy creatures lead very normal lives. On her 13th birthday, Marnie gets a supernatural surprise when she discovers that she, too, is a witch. Marnie will have to learn how to use her broomstick if she hopes to stop an evil force from taking over Halloween town.?
Halloween town actually exists in Saint Helens in Oregon. They actually have a spirit of Halloween town every year and they kick off the festival by saying the spell from the movie and lighting the jack o’lantern. There’s a Airbnb of grandma’s Aggie’s house from the film and you can stay in it as it is a bed and breakfast.
They had a very small budget to film this budget they thought they were getting 30 million and they only got four million dollars and they shot this movie in only 24 days.
Kyle and Marnie, characters in the movie, were enemies in the movie but now they’re actually married in real life. The actors started dating in June 2022 and announced their engagement in 2024.
The movie was actually supposed to air on NBC and it was supposed to be a lot scarier but Disney channel got it instead and made it less dark for kids.
The movie is still available on Disney+ and has several sequels. Two of the sequels are Halloween town 2 and return of Halloween town
