Join us on Last Night We Watched as we hop aboard the magical bus to Halloweentown—and promptly crash it into the pumpkin. We're diving into Disney Channel’s beloved-but-bonkers classics, Halloweentown and its cringe-worthy sequel, Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge.
First, we’ll celebrate the campy charm of the OG, complete with Debbie Reynolds carrying the entire film on her witchy shoulders and a plot that somehow works despite its 90s TV-movie budget. Then, we’ll roast the sequel, where the acting takes a nosedive, the dialogue feels like it was written on the back of a napkin, and the villain’s plan is about as menacing as a wet noodle.
From Marnie’s questionable spellcasting skills to a love interest with all the charisma of a stale candy corn, we’re not holding back on the absurdity. Plus, we unpack how Halloweentown II managed to make the phrase “party city vibes” a cinematic aesthetic.
Is it nostalgia or nonsense? A treat or a trick? Tune in for some cackles, some critiques, and more bad acting impressions than you can shake a broomstick at!
