A novice witch has to help out her grandmother and save the world (boy, the chores never end, do they?) in this 16-year-old made-for-cable fantasy. Witch Marnie (Kimberly J. Brown) discovers that even though she and her grandmother Aggie (Debbie Reynolds) foiled the plans of the evil warlock Kalabar three years ago, his son Kal has taken up the family tradition of evildoing. Kal has stolen Aggie's magic books and is planning top use her collection of secret spells to destroy the borders between the real world and the spooky alternate universe of Halloweentown -- which would not only bring chaos to the world, but put both Aggie and Marnie out of the witch business for good. Can Marnie use her fast-growing powers to stop Kal before it's too late? Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge was produced for The Disney Channel, where it was first aired on October 12, 2001 -- just in time for Halloween. Mark Deming, Rovi
Filmed on location in Oregon, the made-for-cable Halloweentown stars Debbie Reynolds as Aggie Cromwell, the peppery grandma to typical American kids Marnie (Joey Zimmerman), Dylan (Joey Zimmerman) and Sophie (Emily Roeske). During her annual visit to the youngsters' mother Gwen (Judith Hoag), Aggie reveals that she is a benevolent witch, and that Gwen and the kids all have latent magical powers. Whisking the three little ones off to Halloweentown, Aggie subsequently does battle with evil forces conjured up by Gwen's old flame Kalabar (Robin Thomas), a warlock with delusions of grandeur and a nasty habit of transforming children into zombies. Telecast by the Disney Channel on October 22, 1998, Halloweentown was followed three years later by a sequel, also starring Debbie Reynolds, Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge. Hal Erickson, Rovi
