Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Eric Stevenson While everyone recognizes the "High School Musical" Disney Channel original movies, that actually wasn't the most prolific Disney Channel original movie series. It's actually this lesser known one called "Halloweentown". The title is quite misleading as Kalabar doesn't even appear in this. He died in the last one and actually stayed dead. This movie instead tells the story of his son trying to get revenge by turning the inhabitants of the monster world into humans and vice versa. The monochrome effects are done quite well.The downside is that we don't get to see many of the monsters and they usually just stay in the same location. I haven't seen the first film in ages, but I at least remember that it was more creative with more variety. These movies are by no means great, but I'd still choose them over the "High School Musical" films. Okay, that's not much of a compliment but at least they made more of them. The grandmother Aggie is probably the most likeable character. Apart from being a witch, she's depicted very realistically. **1/2

nyc_bound4 This is not a "bad movie" at all. I never watched the movies at all until like a week ago and i thought the movie was VERY good!!! It was one of the best movies I've seen. I thought it was also a very good plot. Marnie Cromwell had to save her family before it was too late and she did. It's not a remake it's a sequel. It was a very good continuation of what I can understand, even though I've never seen the first one and this was my first time watching the second one. i thought it was weird how when marnie met Luke and didn't know he was really evil so he stole aggie's spell book and used it against them. So the movie was excellent and i would recommend it to anyone and everyone!

kkimball-1 Even though there are a few stupid parts, overall I really like this movie. To me, they dumbed-up Debbie Renyolds, and I think Kimberly J. Brown has really improved since the first one. In the first one she seemed very one dimensional and didn't show a lot of emotion, in the second and third she has more character and showed better emotion. The acting is better from everyone and better lines. It doesn't feel like they're just reading off of a script but are putting themselves into it. The magic and the spells are more advanced as Marnie is growing up, and the wardrobe is better suited for all of the characters. I personally like it, I'm actually watching it now and would recommend it to others.

scs0 ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** I ran into this movie while waiting to go do something else. After about an hour I got caught up in this silly movie and had to see it through. I can get caught up in a made-for-TV movie for some reason and actually enjoy it but hate a full-blown big name movie with a better plot, I guess it's the lack of an expectation or something. The effects were good, pretty much close to what you'd see in a TV drama with lots of effects. Some of the strange looking people of Halloweentown have makeup good enough to appear in a modern scifi show while others look like they're wearing a cheap big rubber mask. All-in-all, the effects are definately good enough for kids. The plot? OK, not spectacular but alright for a child's movie but the cast really carries this movie, you actually LIKE the characters. SPOILER ALERT: Defeating the villian involves time travel, a plot device which is just asking for plot holes. The main purpose of the movie is to defeat the villian by midnight otherwise the Piper family can't get back home...but if you can travel in time the time constrant is meaningless! If you can travel back in time why bother beating the villian after they've done their evil deed? Why not just go back in time and stop them from doing what they did? I guess I'm thinking to hard over this kiddie movie but it's OK.
