For me, there are only two times during the course of the year that require movie marathons: Halloween and Christmas. I've spent the entire month of October watching all kinds of classic Halloween horror flicks, from "Friday the 13th" to "Nightmare on Elm Street", but my movie marathon wouldn't be complete without "Halloweentown." Growing up on Disney Channel, "Halloweentown" was the one movie I looked forward to watching every October along with "The Phantom of the Megaplex," "Hocus Pocus," and "My Mom's Dating a Vampire." Remember, this was long before the days of DVR, so if you missed it, that was it! My mother would allow me to stay up past my bedtime just to watch the end of "Halloweentown" even if I had already seen it a million times over. If you didn't grow up on Disney Channel, then you'll probably watch this movie and cringe. Was it the best produced film? No. Did it win any awards? No. But it's a cult classic for the sole reason of it bringing back memories of people's childhood. It clocks in at about an hour and 20 minutes, so if you're one of those people who's always busy and doesn't have time to sit down and watch a movie more often than not (like me), this won't take much time out of your schedule. And if enjoyed watching this movie as a kid as much as I did, it's well worth it! |
