TwoHalloweentownstars are poised to reunite for a new movie about Halloween. The firstHalloweentownmovie premiered on Disney Channel in 1998 and focused on Kimberly J. Brown’s Marnie Piper, as she learned thather family, the Cromwells, were secretly magical. After discovering her nature, she visits Halloweentown, where she encounters ghosts, witches, and more supernatural creatures. In the second movie, she encounters Kal (Daniel Kountz), the son of the evil warlock Kalabar. Though they played enemies in the four-film franchise, Brown and Kountz fell in love and eventually married.
Now,Kimberly J. Brown and Daniel Kountz will be reuniting onscreendecades after theHalloweentownfranchise concluded. On her official TikTok account,Brownreleased a video that details their next major acting project with a fun skit. Check out the post below:
The skit sees a group of actors from Hallmark’sHaul Out the Hollymovie series, as they welcome their neighbors, real-life spouses Brown and Kountz. According to a report byE! News,the movie will be calledHaul Out the Halloweenand will see Brown and Kountz returning to their Halloween roots by celebrating the holiday onscreen.
What This Means For The Halloweentown Stars
This Is Not A Halloweentown Movie
As exciting as it is to see Brown and Kountz returning toa Halloween-focused movie, it is important to remember that this is not aHalloweentownmovie.TheHaul Out the Hollyseries focuses on a realistic portrayal of holidays, as Lacey Chabert’s Emily encounters an HOA that demands an all-out celebration. There are no witches, no ghouls, and no Santa Claus in this franchise to entertain viewers, so Brown will not be playing the magical Marnie. Instead, their casting is simply meant to honor theHalloweentownlegacy.
This upcoming Hallmark movie will offer them an opportunity to reconnect with viewers after a relatively quiet decade.
Even despite lacking any true connection toHalloweentown,the decision to cast Brown and Kountz is rewarding. Aside from a recurring role inGeneral Hospital, Brown has not had the chance to star in any major Hollywood productions since her work onHalloweentownended in 2004. Kountz, meanwhile, has generally only appeared in short films and has taken an extended break from Hollywood otherwise.This upcoming Hallmark moviewill offer them an opportunity to reconnect with viewers after a relatively quiet decade, which is exciting in its own right.
Our Take On The Halloweentown Reunion
This Is A Touching Concept
Just as this is not a trueHalloweentownreunion, it is also not an actual reunion for the actors since they are married. This will, however, be a chance for them to show the world how the years have treated them, and it will enable them to prove that Hollywood offers its actors the opportunity to find love too.Haul Out the Halloweenis a fun conceptand could easily be one of the more unique Hallmark movies.
