Today we'll be exploring the rise and fall of both HalloweenTown and the Disney Channel itself, to determine what lead to such a massively successful series getting locked away inside the Disney vault for good.

One of the biggest things fans of these movies loved was the actress who starred as Marnie. To cast another girl who looked nothing like her was one of many reasons the last movie bombed so bad. Not to mention the story was awful.
