The Spirit of Halloweentown
Bradford Thomason, Brett Whitcomb
In 1998, Disney Channel shot Halloweentown in St. Helens, Oregon, and the town will never let it be forgotten. Every October, residents resurrect the film with intense dedication: giant pumpkins, elaborate costumes, fog machines, the works. The Spirit of Halloweentown documents this spooky civic ritual, where nostalgia meets small-town politics and at least one witch runs a committee.
