St. Helens is a town bursting with pride. Why? Because it’s the real-life Halloweentown! Since 1998, the whole of October has been dedicated to the film.
A festival is held, attracting both locals and tourists. It’s a big deal.
In 2017, a communications officer from St. Helens shared some impressive stats. They had between 40,000-50,000 visitors that year. That’s a lot of Halloween fans!
The 2017 festival was extra special. The original cast of Piper-Cromwells got back together for the first time since Halloweentown High.
Brown, a cast member, shared her feelings about the reunion. “It was nice to go back and honor Debbie. It’s such an honor that people want to come and hang out and see where it was filmed,” she said. She never imagined this would be their reality.
The future of the franchise is uncertain. Singer, another cast member, expressed her interest in a fifth movie. But, there are no official plans yet.
Singer said, “I’d have to get Disney Channel on board, but I would like to. I have ideas of how I would do it.” There was some talk about it a year and a half ago, but nothing materialized.
If a fifth movie were to happen, Singer has some ideas. She’s thinking “a musical.” Or maybe even a prequel. She’s brought it up before. So, who knows?
