Due their enduring popularity, the Halloweentown movies return to relevance every October. Alongside the Hocus Pocus and Twitches film series, 1998’s Halloweentown and its three sequels are among the most beloved Disney Channel Original Movies that center on this spine-chilling season. In the first Halloweentown outing, Kimberly J. Brown’s Marnie Piper discovers that she comes from a long line of prominent witches — the Cromwells — when her Grandma Aggie (Debbie Reynolds) visits the mortal world on All Hallow’s Eve. Despite her mother, Gwen’s (Judith Hoag), wishes, Marnie and her siblings follow Aggie to the titular town and discover their family’s magic.
With 2023 marking the 25th anniversary of the first film in the franchise, fans are sure to get their fix of every Disney Halloweentown movie, including the 1998 original, Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge, Halloweentown High, and Return to Halloweentown. Thankfully, in the age of streaming, there are plenty of ways to tune into Marnie and Cromwell clan’s witchy adventures. Instead of marking their calendars with the one-night-only network showing of Halloweentown and its sequels, viewers can either subscribe to a popular streamer, rent, or purchase the franchise’s films with the click of a button.
All 4 Halloweentown Movies Are Streaming On Disney+
The easiest way to catch all four Halloweentown flicks is by subscribing to Disney+. Unsurprisingly, the popular streamer boasts the entire series of films, from the very nostalgia-drenched first installment to the oft-maligned Halloweentown 4, which controversially recast Kimberly J. Brown’s Marnie. When it comes to subscribing to Disney+, viewers have a few options. For $7.99 per month, viewers can stream all Disney+ has to offer, so long as they don’t mind ads. Those who rather skip commercials can pay a little more for Disney+ Premium, which comes in at $10.99 per month or, in annual lump-sum form, $109.99 per year.
Starting October 12, 2023, Premium package rates will increase to $13.99 per month and $139.99 per year, making an early subscription the most cost-effective way of streaming the four movies on Disney+. The media titan also offers some enticing bundles. Subscribers can opt into the ad-supported Disney Bundle Duo Basic, which includes Disney+ and Hulu, for $9.99 per month, or the Disney Bundle Trio Basic, which includes Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+, for $12.99 per month (though that will increase to $14.99 on October 12). Disney also offers ad-free Duo and Trio bundles, which total $19.99 per month and $24.99 per month (after October 12), respectively.
The Halloweentown Movies Are Available To Rent & Buy: Platforms & Cost Breakdown
If adding another streamer to the rotation feels untenable, tuning into the Disney Channel is the best alternative. In honor of the 25th anniversary of the Halloweentown franchise, the network will run a 13-hour marathon featuring all four of the films, airing back-to-back. While the first and second films will air on September 27 and 28 respectively as part of Disney Channel’s countdown to Halloween, the so-called Halloweentown takeover is set to commence on Halloween (Tuesday, October 31).
