Halloween Special Roundup Part 2.7: Halloweentown

Happy Halloween!!!  Hope it's all treats and no tricks.

For the final installment of this round of Halloween specials, it's Halloweentown!  

The movie starts out with the youngest, Sophie, watching trick or treaters, and the oldest child, Marnie, arguing with her mother about going out to a Halloween party.  (Meanwhile the middle child, Dylan, is perfectly happy reading a book.)  

Marnie doesn't understand why their mother won't let them celebrate Halloween, especially since that's when her parents first met.  Suddenly their grandmother comes for a visit and starts inquiring about Marnie being ready to start her witch training.  After a bedtime story about Halloweentown, Marnie eavesdrops on a conversation with her mother and grandmother and finds out that witchcraft runs in her family.  Now Marnie is at the age to start her training to become a witch, and her grandmother needs all the help she can get to figure out why some of her friends have been disappearing.  The kids then follow their grandmother back to Halloweentown and find out the bedtime story and all the creatures in it are real.
Soon after their arrival they are dropped off at their grandmother's house and become determined to help her find out what is going on.  

There are a couple ways to watch this movie.  If you have a cable subscription, you can download the "Watch Disney Channel" app on your smartphone, tablet or Roku, login to your cable company account and the movie is found under the "Disney Channel Original Movie" option.  You can also go here and watch it if you do not have a cable subscription!
