Halloweentown

Halloweentown! One of the movies I remember growing up with as a kid, this film has a certain nostalgic value to it.

The movie centers around Marnie Cromwell, who has a love for Halloween and all the weird things that come with it. However, her mother seems to have the opposite mindset in regards to it. After a visit from her eccentric grandmother, Aggie, Marnie and her siblings follow her home to Halloweentown after they find out that Marnie is a witch.

However, not all is alright in Halloweentown as an evil force is changing the citizens. When Aggie and their mother (who followed close behind) are captured, they kids have to band together to set things right and use a powerful spell to banish the dark force.

While it is quite enjoyable as a whole, some of the digital effects and dialogue is rather poor. The acting is quite tolerable, save for Debbie Reynolds as Aggie Cromwell who is extremely fun and a highlight of the film. While it may not be an excellent film, it is definitely a staple in my viewing around Halloween and can be quite charming.
