    Enjoyable for Halloween

    This movie series is obviously some people's favorite Halloween movies. I didn't grow up on Disney, but my wife did. So we watch different Disney classics every year and I'll warn that I'm not sentimental about Disney movies.

    This one was easy to watch and isn't boring which makes it ideal for a holiday when you are passing out candy or carving pumpkins as you don't need to really figure out the plot since it's over explained.

    Being the third one, I imagine it didn't get the same budget as the film quality wasn't nearly what movies were using in 2004. Some scenes looked like they were filmed on a household camera from that year.

    I couldn't really tell if the principal was a bad guy or not.

    You'll appreciate the characters and find most of it good enough. If you have kids, it's probably a really good pick since it is really tame and none of the costumes are intense.

    A big improvement

    Halloweentown III: Halloween High, though not a stunning piece of cinema, held much more talent and savvy than that of the first two. The characters did not seem as 1-dimensional and bland. The production value was more towards the theme of the film. And the acting was much better as well.

    Truth be told, I was appalled by the first two films. To me, they seemed to poke too much fun at Halloween and the mystique behind the glorious Holiday that it is. This was abandoned that lack of respect and focused more on being a family friendly film.

    Kimberly J. Brown has grown into a beautiful and talented young actresses. It is good to see her give less of a "wooden"performance, as in the last two entries.

    I think the new director & new writer were just what this series needed. If Disney continues to make them like this...I'll keep watching with my Daughter. If they revert back to what they have been dishing out...Then I'll stay on Nickelodeon!

    Halloweentown But...In High School

    In all honestly, there can be a good reason that Halloweentown shouldn't need to be turned into a franchise and just stick as just two. Halloweentown High essentially turns the first two films into a your generic high school teen film. While I wouldn't necessary call it a bad film with some decent costumes and some that have a good followup like with monsters entering the human world from Halloweentown, it also was pretty rushed. I'll admit, the villain aspect would've worked. But even for Disney Channel, all that doesn't have time to get to know better of the events that would be going out throughout. It's not just a rushed plot, but with generic characters, bad CGI and a weak villain. I'll say that this will most likely be for huge fans of Halloweentown. Outside of that, it's a one-time watch. As much I liked the first two, this one is rather a mediocre school film.

    Lucas Grabeel, one to watch

    This Halloween Town was again worth the time. Disney hit a home run with the casting and fine tuned the show for its audience. Lucas Grabeel stood out in this debut as Ethan, a warlock worth watching. He has much to offer the acting world and is going to go places in Hollywood and his newest release, High School Musical may be the launching pad. The show was fun and the Disney audience loved it. The Halloween Town High premise of creatures disguising themselves as high school students and trying to fit in when their peers find it hard to fit in themselves is a refreshing twist from the other roles available. Disney once again found a new vehicle for some talented young actors. Way to go, Disney!

    The film was really good

    I think "Halloween Town High" was really good. I also liked "Halloween Town and Halloween Town-Kalabars Revenge. Kimberly J. Brown is a terrific Actress. She is a very beautiful talented actress. I have all the Halloween Town movies recored. I look forward to the Next Halloween Town movie. These movies are very good movies for kids to watch.

    I am a very big fan of Kimberly J. Brown. I hope Disney keeps on putting these movies on. I really hope they make a Halloween Town 4. These are the kinds of movies that I love to watch. If people would watch the movies very carefully they would realize that these Haloween Town movies are good for kids to watch. I will always be a fan of Kimberly J. Brown

      When Ethan was trying out for the play, Aggie told Marnie that she was offered to cast in Shakespeare's original play. But in Shakespeare's time, the ladies' roles are played by men because women are forbidden to act in a play.
