It’s that time of year! In this week’s episode, we dissect one of our favorites, Halloweentown, a DCOM that aired October 17, 1998. This film was directed by Duwayne Dunham, written by Paul Bernbaum, and starred Debbie Reynolds, Judith Hoag, Kimberly J. Brown, Joey Zimmerman, and Emily Roeske, with music composed by Mark Mothersbaugh.
