About this movie

This comedy-adventure follows Marnie and her younger siblings as they return with their estranged grandmother, a good witch (Debbie Reynolds), to her home in Halloweentown, where witches, goblins, vampires and the like lead very normal lives. On her 13th birthday, Marnie learns that she comes from a witch family and that she too is a witch. She also discovers that an evil force is plotting to take over Halloweentown, and she must help her mother and grandmother to save the day.

Ratings and reviews

Halloweentown is straight up Disney Channel hokey, but it's got a lot of heart and care put into it to make it enjoyable to watch. FYI, this film was originally in SD aspect ratio, but this copy is cropped to HD so everything is super zoomed in. Also, while this is a light-hearted family film, if you're sensitive to spellcasting (even if it's pretend) then I'd recommend you pass on this film. And, there's no jumpscares or really scary scenes/monsters.

I love the movie but I wish they didn't crop it to make it widescreen. Change it back to full screen 4:3 ratio so we can actually see everything again.

I have always liked this movie and watch it every Halloween I have the chance. I wish iTunes had it but they dont! Good show Google. :)
