What separates this original pic from the usual Halloween fare is that it captures the spirit of a holiday designed for kids. It's sweet and fun, but too much could definitely give you a stomach ache.

Halloweentown’s energy is infectious, and it does what only the best DCOMs did: capture the pure, undiminishable joy of being a kid.

It's watchable, though the action is packed with bits and pieces from genre milestones such as Bewitched and Tim Burton's The Nightmare before Christmas, so it feels rather familiar.

Rated: 2/5

Even though Halloweentown does have some issues and despite this, this Disney channel based film still have plenty of fun and charming moments.

Sophie commits a hate crime against a ghost. But in all seriousness, Halloweentown might just be the best Halloween movie for capturing that pure feeling of childhood wonder. Sure, it’s not the best when it comes to script or visual effects, but the cast gives it their all, making the world feel livable and believable. Those early Disney Channel Original Movies really had a special charm, and Halloweentown is the perfect example of that magic. 75%

The movie felt rushed and the little development was used on two characters.

My personal all-time favorite Halloween movie. As a child, and as an adult. Another annual watch in our home.

Wow. Not having any nostalgia for this movie made watching it a lot harder. Wayyyy too corny, am I the only one who didn’t like Marnie? She was written like an annoying teenager. Which I guess she is supposed to be, meaning they accomplished their goal. I still didn’t like her. The other two were barely important. Overall I wish I didn’t sit through this, it’s fine to watch as a child but watching it as anything older then it’s not that good. 1/5 stars.
