Halloweentown

Halloweentown

With power comes responsibility and witch Marnie Piper (Sara Paxton, Aquamarine) is about to learn that lesson first-hand as she enters Halloweentown's Witch University as a college freshman on a full scholarship. Brother Dylan (Joey Zimmerman) accompanies her at their mother's (Judith Hoag) insistence and the two encounter old friend Ethan (Lucas Grabeel, High School Musical and High School Musical 2) as well as Benny the Skeleton and a host of new characters. Marnie is disappointed when she learns that there's a strict no magic policy on campus and soon discovers that she's been lured to Halloweentown to fulfill an age old prophecy that has little to do with college and everything to do with her ancestors and a secret that's been kept for a thousand years. As Marnie struggles to discover who can be trusted and battles the incessantly devious Sinister Sisters (Kristy Wu, Katie Cockrell, and Kellie Cockrell), Marnie learns a lot about human (and inhuman) nature, Cromwell family history, her own strengths and weaknesses, and the responsibilities that accompany power. Sara Paxton does a fine job replacing Kimberly Brown as Marnie, though Halloweentown, Halloweentown II and Halloweentown High fans are nonetheless apt to be somewhat disconcerted by the actress change. The brief "Behind the Scenes Spooktacular" features interviews with the stars and a look at the movie's creatures and special effects. (Ages 5 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Marnie:
Grandma, it was Kalabar.

Gwen:
What?

[On the stairs leading to the City Hall, Kalabar stands up and stares at the Cromwells. Aggie angrily points at him]

Aggie:
So it was you!

[Gwen gently pushes Sophie aside as she glares at Kalabar]

Gwen:
Why, Kalabar?

Kalabar:
You could've had me, the most powerful warlock of all. And you could've ruled with me as my queen, but you chose a human instead!

Marnie:
Well, it turns out she was a pretty good judge of character.

Aggie:
Your days of rule are at an end, Kalabar.

[Kalabar waves a finger]

Kalabar:
Don't underestimate me, Agatha. Ha!

[Kalabar summons the talisman from inside the statue and catches it as he laughs maniacally]

Kalabar:
Now my darkness will spread unchecked and I'll be the ruler of both worlds!

[Kalabar laughs maniacally again as Aggie pulls out her wand and chants a spell to the talisman, followed by Gwen who holds her hand]

Kalabar:
Don't waste your energies, witches! Your precious talisman is nothing more…

[Dylan glares at Kalabar]

Dylan:
Man, that jerk! I'd like to… I'd like to…

[Marnie looks down to see blue light glowing from her brother's fingers as Kalabar laughs offscreen]

Marnie:
Dylan!

Dylan:
What?

Marnie:
It looks like we've added another witch to the family. Or should I say warlock.

Kalabar:
…like a dark shadow…

[Dylan looks at his glowing fingers]

Dylan:
No way! I don't have any powers, I'm a normal one in the family.

[Marnie looks at Kalabar]

Marnie:
Hey, Chocolate Bar! You better give that talisman back or you're in big trouble!

Kalabar:
You half-human brat! Do you think your magic is any match for mine?

Marnie:
Hmm, no. But let's see my powers and my mom's, my grandmother's, my sister's, and my brother's might do it. Hit it, guys.

[Holding their hands, the Cromwells, except Dylan, close their eyes and hum. Kalabar laughs when he sees nothing happening to the talisman still in his hands]

Kalabar:
Silly witches, you Cromwells have failed!

[Opening her eyes, Marnie looks at Dylan]

Marnie:
[whispering] Come on, Dylan, we need you. Believe.

[Sophie opens her hand for Dylan, who takes it. They continue to hum as light shines brightly from the orb on the talisman in Kalabar's hands]

Kalabar:
No! No!

[The orb's light glows more]

Kalabar:
No!!!!!

[The light engulfs Kalabar who disappears as the talisman flies back into Aggie's hand]

Aggie:
Oh! The talisman!

[The citizens cheer and the Cromwell kids jump in celebration]
