The Halloweentown series is among the most beloved Disney Channel Original Movies. For many of us who grew up in the '90s and early aughts, the film series is a must-watch every spooky season. But the star of the 1998 film, Kimberly J. Brown, confessed that she's never seen the whole thing in one sitting.
Brown and her fiance, Daniel Kountz, who first met as costars in 2001's Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge, were interviewed by People Magazine on the red carpet before a panel at 90s Con Tampa on Sunday.
"We've never sat and watched it," Brown said. "I see it at times with my nephew, my niece, so I get to see different parts of it, but I don't know that we've ever sat and watched it."
Nevertheless, she is "so honored that people still watch the movies after all these years."

"It's one of my absolute favorite holidays to even be a part of, so it's been fun to watch it grow over the years," she continued. "When I was a kid, Halloween didn't take up like two months of the year, whereas now, it rivals Christmas with the decor and everything. I love it, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it."
Brown and Kountz first met during the production of the Halloweentown sequel, but it wasn't a love connection until many years later.
"We had a great time working together, but there were no romantic feelings on set or anything," Brown said during the panel, according to The Messenger.
"And then, fast forward about 15 years or so," she continued. "I was doing some sketches for my YouTube channel, some of my friends from Second City, and I decided to hit him up on social media and say, 'How you doing? Would you like to come do some of the sketches with us?' Because I thought the fans would love it. And then yeah, I just — what do the kids say now? —started catching feelings."
Brown added, "It was nice to have that kind of foundation, but it really was kind of starting in a different lifetime or something."
