Halloweentown is a movie adored by many. Many of us watched it when we were kids and still enjoy an occasional revisit to the magical town.

Besides a wonderful story, it also had some fantastic characters that effortlessly made us fall in love with them. We've checked on what the actors from our favorite installment are doing now.

But, first, a little bit about the show: Duwayne Dunham directed Halloweentown, a Disney Channel Original Movie from 1998. Debbie Reynolds, Kimberly J. Brown, Joey Zimmerman, and Judith Hoag star in the first part of the Halloweentown series.

It's the Disney Channel's fourth original film. It follows Marnie, who learns she's a witch on her 13th birthday, discovers a secret portal, and is transported to Halloweentown, a magical place where ghosts and ghouls, witches and werewolves live apart from the human world; however, she soon finds herself battling wicked warlocks, evil curses, and never-ending surprises.

Halloweentown was followed by three sequels: Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge in 2001, Halloweentown High in 2004, and Return to Halloweentown in 2006. Now we can get on with our list.

Take a look; we know you are going to enjoy it. So, get ready for nostalgia overdose:

1. Kimberly J. Brown

Before getting her part on Halloweentown, Kimberly J. Brown had a successful career as a child model and on the serial opera Guiding Light, for which she was nominated for a Daytime Emmy. Kimberly is most remembered for her role as 13-year-old witch Marnie Piper in Disney Channel's Halloweentown, opposite Debbie Reynolds.

Halloweentown, Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge, and Halloweentown High all featured Brown as Marnie.

Now:

Kimberly continued acting after her breakthrough in the Halloweentown movie, landing roles in Be Cool, Low Winter Sun, and other projects. Kimberly is now in pre-production for a thriller called Abudcted?, which features Billy Ray Cyrus as a co-star, according to her IMDB biography.

She also appears in General Hospital as Nurse Chloe Jennings (a.k.a. Marie Hopkins). Kimberly has a Bachelor of Science degree in business.

She also started an Etsy shop featuring Halloweentown-themed items. Oh, and don't forget about Poppin's Pumpkin Patch Parade, the children's book she co-wrote with Diane Yslas.

What about her private life? She is currently dating Daniel Kountz, her co-star from Halloweentown II.

2. Debbie Reynolds

Debbie Reynolds was already a Hollywood celebrity when she took the role of Agatha Cromwell in Halloweentown. She appeared in three of the Halloweentown movies and made a cameo appearance in the fourth, Return to Halloweentown.

Debbie's breakthrough part came in Singin' in the Rain, a 1952 musical picture. She went on to have a remarkable career in theater, movie, and television, receiving Golden Globe, Academy Award, and Tony Award nominations.

She was honored at the 2015 Academy Awards with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. She was married to singer Eddie Fisher, but they split after his romance with Elizabeth Taylor.

Debbie and Eddie had two children together, Carrie Fisher (Star Wars) and Todd Fisher (Star Wars).

Now:

Debbie died on December 28, 2016, at the age of 84, only one day after her daughter Carrie died of cardiac arrest. An intracerebral hemorrhage was determined to be the cause of death during the actor's autopsy.

3. Judith Hoag

Judith Hoag was best recognized for her work in the 1990 movies Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Cadillac Man before starring as Gwen Cromwell Piper in Halloweentown. She also had a long list of TV credits, including Wolf, Roseanne, Melrose Place, and a slew of others.

She went on to appear in each of the four Halloweentown movies.

Now:

Following Halloweentown, Judith went on to have a successful television career. She had a prominent role in Nashville, playing Tandy Hampton, in addition to a recurrent role on HBO's Big Love.

You may recognize Judith from one of her 60+ television appearances, including The Magicians, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Weeds, Castle, Criminal Minds, The Middle, and others. She was married to Vince Grant and has two children.

4. Phillip Van Dyke

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Phillip Van Dyke had a lot of success as a kid actor. Phillip also voiced Arnold in season two of Hey Arnold! and was the lead of Nickelodeon's short-lived Noah Knows Best, in addition to his role in the first two Halloweentown features. Phillip retired from acting in 2003, with his final credit being a guest appearance on NYPD Blue.

Nowadays, Phillip is out of the spotlight as he's a father of three. He runs a sales floor for a financial services company.

5. Joey Zimmerman

Joey Zimmerman earned his big break in the Jamie Lee Curtis-led drama Mother's Boys before starring in Halloweentown. Bailey Kipper's P.O.V. and Earth 2 were two other TV series in which he appeared.

Joey's most well-known role to date, though, is as Dylan Piper in the Halloweentown franchise. Joey, like Judith Hoag, appeared in all four TV movies. Joey had guest-starring parts on That '70s Show, 7th Heaven, Felicity, and other shows.

Now:

Joey is currently a photographer and co-founder of ZFO Entertainment, which bills itself as "the last word in geek entertainment."

He got married in 2020.

6. Emily Roeske

With only two other credits on her record prior to Halloweentown, Emily Roeske's big break was unquestionably Halloweentown. Emily was seven years old at the time the Disney Channel Original Movie was released.

Emily stayed with the franchise for the second and third installments. She also appeared on ER as a guest star.

Now:

She got married in 2013 to Mitch Chapman, and they have a daughter together, named Evie Marie. Emily has become a third-degree black belt and even taught mixed martial arts.

Now:

Robin is still very much active as an actor. Robin has lately been in recurring roles on shows such as Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Zoo, Fuller House, and Law & Order True Crime.

8. Kenneth Choi

Halloweentown was Kenneth Choi's big break. He may not have had a significant role in the film, portraying a funky broom salesman who sells Marnie her first broom, but it was a memorable one since he got to work alongside Hollywood superstar Debbie Reynolds.

Now:

Despite his modest role in Halloweentown, Kenneth's career has taken off since then. Kenneth, for starters, has a recurrent part on Sons of Anarchy. He subsequently went on to star in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.

9. Daniel Kountz

Daniel already had a few titles on his resume before playing Kalabar's villainous son in Halloweentown II. He appeared on Boston Public, ER, 3rd Rock from the Sun, and other shows in addition to acting in a TV movie with Kirsten Dunst called Fifteen and Pregnant.

Now:

Besides occasional acting gigs, Daniel is also a diligent worker as a real estate agent. He's also seeing his former co-star, Kimberly J. Brown. While their characters may not have been a good match, they appear to get along well in real life. 

An interesting fact about the first movie: To show all they’ve envisioned, the producers estimated they would need at least $20 million, which was way above their budget.
