This is a look at the town of St. Helens Oregon where the Disney film HALLOWEENTOWN.
This is a look at a small town and how over time a film that has become a holiday staple for many has also transformed the town. We watch as the town talk about how the film has changed their lives and how they handle the new influx of visitors who want to see the real Halloweentown.
This is a very good look at how one film changed the life of a town and it's residents. It's a story that we don't ever see really covered except in a quick clip on the odd TV news program. We get a look at the changing face of Halloween and how what was once a big holiday for kids now is a big holiday for a lot of people.
I had a really good time with this film. In a weird way I can see it becoming just as big a hit as the film that transformed St. Helens. If I have any quibble with the film is that not having seen Halloweentown in decades, and never being a big fan I wasn't as invested in the film. That isn't the fault of the filmmakers, but it is simply an indication of my own failing as a human being.
