Halloweentown Stars Share Heartwarming Memories of Debbie Reynolds at 90s Con
Let’s dive into a nostalgic whirlpool of witchy charm and heartfelt memories, shall we? At the recent 90s Con, the beloved cast of Disney’s Halloweentown assembled to sprinkle a little magic and share some delightful anecdotes about their late co-star, Debbie Reynolds. Kimberly J. Brown, who portrayed the spirited young witch Marnie Piper, reminisced about how Reynolds inspired a Halloween tradition that would make any true fan swoon. “Debbie gave me the idea to hand out candy while dressed as Marnie,” Brown recounted, recalling how Reynolds, in her iconic Aggie Cromwell garb, took joy in this seasonal ritual. Can you imagine the glee on those little trick-or-treaters’ faces? But alas, the enchantment had to end when eager fans began showing up at her door year-round.
The reunion wasn’t just a stroll down memory lane; it was a heartfelt tribute to Reynolds’ infectious spirit and professionalism. Daniel Kountz, who joined the series in the sequel, shared a memorable moment when Reynolds lifted the crew’s spirits during a low-energy scene by singing and sharing stories. Talk about a diva with a heart of gold! Judith Hoag, who played Marnie’s mother, revealed a nugget of wisdom imparted by Reynolds: always stand in for yourself, a lesson she humorously attributes to Bette Davis.
The Halloweentown franchise, born out of a whimsical question from a child, has enchanted audiences for over 25 years, and its legacy continues to thrive. With the original movie and its subsequent sequels, the magic persists, fueled by the memories of an extraordinary cast and their beloved matriarch. So, as the spooky season approaches, let’s remember the joy brought by Reynolds and her Halloweentown family. Class dismissed—may your Halloween be as enchanting as a witch’s brew!
