This year marks the 20th anniversary of universally beloved Disney Channel original movie, Halloweentown, and as a special treat, the Cromwells and Kalabar set aside their differences for a reunion. On Saturday, October 13, in St. Helens, Oregon (the same place Halloweentown was filmed), the cast got together for a magical gathering. According to Teen Vogue, it was all part of the city's annual Spirit of Halloweentown festival, where the residents participate in Halloween-related activities for the whole month.
Kimberly J. Brown, who played the wonderful Marnie, took to Instagram to share the reunion photo, which includes her former cast mates J. Paul Zimmerman and Judith Hoag. Even Robin Thomas, who portrayed the formidable baddie Kalabar, was in attendance.
The only Cromwell family member missing was Debbie Reynolds, who passed away in 2016... and took our hearts right with her.
"The Cromwell’s and Kalabar are making nice today to meet some fans," Brown captioned the pic. "This is the first time we’ve all been together since we filmed #halloweentown 20 yrs ago!"
Our hearts are so full!

Fans of the movie were totally thrilled that they all got together again, if only for just one day. Some Twitter users even shared how much of an impact the film had on their childhoods.
Being an aspiring filmmaker, it’s cool to see the cast of a movie together again for the first time since the shoot, especially when representing one of my ultimate favorite Halloween movie series/DCOMs!

Now excuse us while we carve pumpkins, pick out a Halloween costume, sip on pumpkin spiced lattes, and watch Halloweentown on repeat.
