Halloweentown isn’t just a Disney Channel Original Movie… every October the fictional town weaves its magic in a Pacific Northwest city.
Is the titular village of Disney‘s Halloweentown a real-life place? Halloweentown, one of the first Disney Channel original movies, has delivered family-friendly fun since its premiere in 1998 and remains a beloved classic among millennials. That’s why it’s no surprise that Halloweentown does come to life in a Pacific Northwest city every October.
Halloweentown‘s most prominent location is its magical eponymous town full of equally magical residents. In the first movie, witch-in-training Marnie (Kimberly J. Brown) travels there from the mortal world and must assist her grandmother Aggie (Debbie Reynolds) in solving the mystery of Halloweentown’s vanishing citizens and restore order. The only way to defeat the evil warlock Kalabar is to place a specially crafted talisman inside the town square’s enormous jack-o-lantern. Despite its low film budget, Halloweentown made such an impression on its viewers that the city in which it was filmed annually recreates the town.
