Halloweentown	comment	A series of Disney Channel Original Movies, starring a young woman of both witch and mortal heritage, who maintains peace in a Quirky Town populated by mystical beings and creatures, with help from her magically-gifted grandmother. The first aired in October 1998.13-year-old Marnie Piper (Kimberly J. Brown) has always been fascinated by the strange and unusual, but for some reason her mother, Gwen (Judith Hoag), disapproves. Marnie would love to go out for Halloween, but her mother makes her and her siblings Sophie (Emily Roeske) and Dylan (Joey Zimmerman) stay home every year. Her only explanation is that "there are things about Halloween you don't understand."Since this year marks Marnie's 13th birthday, her grandmother Agatha (Debbie Reynolds) shows up on Halloween, and reads Marnie and her siblings a book titled Halloweentown. With its pictures of the supernatural living everyday lives, including one showing a witch who resembles Marnie, Marnie becomes entranced by the thoughts of Halloweentown. Later, Marnie sneaks downstairs to overhear her mom and grandmother discussing Marnie's future. Grandma Aggie wants to train Marnie as a witch; Gwen wants nothing of the sort. Grandma Aggie also says something is wrong in Halloweentown, and that she could use Gwen's help, but Gwen refuses.Eager at the thoughts of being trained as a witch, Marnie follows Grandma Aggie back to Halloweentown... and so do Sophie and Dylan. There, they must stop an evil warlock from taking over.Three sequels have been made: Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge (2001), Halloweentown High (2004), and Return to Halloweentown (2006).Not to be confused with the setting of The Nightmare Before Christmas.

The bus itself is delayed due to engine trouble, to Marnie's delight, until Dylan suggests they talk to the mayor, leading to Gwen's reunion with Kalabar.

Halloweentown / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: In the first film, Gwen trying to make an irreversible and life-altering decision to take away her daughters' magic so that they can adhere to cultural expectations (before they reach puberty and without their knowledge or consent) may remind some viewers of the practice of female genital mutilation. Gwen's insistence that her children are normal, and if they aren't, she'll make them be normal even when they are telling her that they don't want to be and she's making them unhappy, is very reminiscent of parents attempting to "straighten" children who are queer, or "correcting" a disability. Multiple aspects of Halloweentown, how it came to be, and the challenges faced by the residents might remind viewers of the gentrification of minority communities.

We literally just didn't have many sources about what had happened during the Dark Ages, hence the name.

While Sophie can do things like sense when someone is coming to the house or unconsciously levitate a cookie towards her, her mother purposely makes sure Sophie doesn't realize it's magic, either by hiding the evidence or insisting it's nothing, since she is trying to hide her magical heritage from the kids until the girls lose their powers permanently at 13. Also discussed — Marnie later learns from her mother that she used to use accidental magic without realizing it as well, since Gwen hid it the same way she is doing with Sophie. Played straight with Dylan, who only realizes he has magic in the climax when Marnie points out his fingers are glowing.

The second film changed the "C" to a "K", and IMDb lists the character as "Kalabar". It's speculated by many fans that the reasoning for spelling the sequel's title with a "K" rather than a "C" is because the person giving the "revenge" isn't actually Calabar... it was Kal (possibly short for Kalabar with a "K"). Either that, or it's just Fan Wank.

Halloweentown / int_f2d8e3c2	comment	Evil Plan: Kalibar in the first film, his son in the second, the Dominion in the third and fourth films. All of them except the second were Take Over the World plans; that one was Revenge.

Halloweentown / int_f506d08c	type	Broken Masquerade
Halloweentown / int_f506d08c	comment	Broken Masquerade: Originally, Halloweentown was created to keep supernatural creatures safe from humans. At the end of the third film, humans (or at least the students and faculty at Marnie's school) find out about Halloweentown and its inhabitants. In the fourth film, it's stated that some of Halloweentown's citizens are going to college on Earth.

Halloweentown / int_f8b3fa5d	comment	Our Werewolves Are Different: They seem to be permanently in "wolfman" form rather than transforming back and forth; also, most are vegetarians.

Halloweentown / int_fdf22cfd	comment	His father also had one briefly in the first movie when he bemoans the fact that Gwen chose a mortal man over him, the most powerful sorcerer in Halloweentown. You can tell this really gets to him because this breakdown is actually quiet and subdued, in stark contrast to his usual evil demeanor.

Halloweentown / int_ff1a13ad	type	Accidental Incantation
Halloweentown / int_ff1a13ad	comment	Accidental Incantation: The way to undo a spell is to say the incantation in reverse. The Big Bad's "Gray Spell" has afflicted the entire town, stripping them of magic, memory, and personality, and he's trapped the good guys there while he turns his attention to the mortal world. At one point, Marnie is racking her brains for how they can "get out of this trap, a spell or a—" which unexpectedly results in a cursed person nearby returning to normal. Initially, they think that the curse just wore off, but when the evidence against that piles too high, they review what happened and realize the truth: she said "trap a," and the curse's incantation is simply "Apart!"
