Funny / Halloweentown

Halloweentown

• "Being normal is vastly overrated."
• When Gwen and her mother argue about magic, Aggie zaps the fried chicken into a live one.
  Aggie Cromwell: Leftovers, when you should know that chicken tastes better when it's back on the bone.
• Many of Dylan's lines. One such example is "if ghosts are dead then why do they care about fitness?"
• Benny the cabby guy often has a pun or two to spare. In the first film, he has the voice of Rino Romano, so it's even funnier.
• The scene when Marnie compares herself and her siblings to couch potatoes.
  Gwen: I'm just trying to protect you.
  Marnie: Yeah, you're protecting us from being anything but a bunch of vegetables. (sits down) Hey look! I'm a potato, are you happy now? Maybe I'll put down some roots in the carpet. (mockingly) Oh no Marnie, it's too dangerous! There're things about vegetables that YOU don't understand.
• The ghost being offended by "such stereotypes" when Sophie is running around in a white sheet and moaning.
• Kalabar's over the top performance. At one point, even the crowd he's trying to sway to his side all backs away from him as he shouts "JOIN ME!" like a madman.
• Marnie mocking Kalabar's name.
  Marnie: Hey, Chocolate Bar!

Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge

• When Marnie and Luke meet Gort in the past, Marnie informs him that they need to find Aggie's spellbook in his mess, before the Grey Spell cleans it all away. Cue a Big "WHAT?!" from Gort, who can't fathom the thought of living in a clean house.
  • As Marnie rapidly experiments with various incantations to try and find the Time Travel Spell, once of them conjures ordinary garden gnomes... And she keeps coming up with it every once in a while, much to Gort's annoyance.
    Marnie: [Conjures yet another gnome, adding to the dozen-plus clutter of them]
    Gort: [Resting exhaustedly on his hand] Will you please stop doing that one?!
  • When she finally learns the spell, she starts testing it and the Grey Spell on Gort. Grey!Gort can only look around Normal!Gort's messy house, and nonchalantly express mild shock at the mess he needs to clean up.
• Blink and you'll miss it, but right after Kal activates the Creature Spell, you can see there really IS someone dressed up as a fly!

Halloweentown High

• In the third movie, Marnie gets annoyed with Dylan and magically sticks him to the ceiling. The next morning, he has a crick in his neck. When asked if he's all right, he gives the following response:
  Dylan: Oh I'm fine…for someone who slept on the ceiling.

Return to Halloweentown

• When Dylan actually utters the word "magic":
  Marnie: (shocked) Did you just use the m-word?
• Gwen attempting to talk to her kids via magic often involves her shouting into bird baths and pots of soup.
