Disney’s Halloweentown Deserves to Be Considered a Cult Classic

Halloween is fast approaching, and the debate rages on about the perfect genre and individual film audiences should watch to mark the occasion. Just like at Christmas, there are countless pictures dedicated to the season that have a special connection to the viewer. Many of these Halloween films have become a part of the traditions that form the spooky experience for family and friends. There aren’t many spooky and fun films for the festivities that have become true cult classics quite in the same way as many Christmas hits, though.Horror and true scares seem to dominate the viewing schedule, and there are very few movies that continue to connect decades after their release within the more jovial side of the holiday. The Nightmare Before Christmas is probably the king of the Disney archives when it comes to a Halloween classic that’s fun and inviting for the whole family. Yet, Halloweentown deserves to be given its due 25 years after its release. It isn’t currently considered to be in the same echelon as Jack Skellington’s story, but upon a revisit, it’s obvious that it should be.Disney’s vault is full of Disney Channel originals and forgotten gems from bygone eras. The Halloween catalog on Disney+ always seems to be defined by modern releases from channels like FX and Hulu, such as American Horror Story or animated adventures starring Mickey and the gang. But there’s a subcategory of brilliant and easy-watching Halloween hits that connected with audiences at the time of their release but haven’t been given the attention they deserve.RELATED: Halloween Cinematic Universe Planned After Miramax Lands TV RightsRELATED: Chuck Norris and Vanilla Ice to Play Themselves in Zombie Plane
