Here’s What Halloweentown’s Kimberly J. Brown Wants to See in a 5th Installment

Kimberly J. Brown is down for her return to Halloweentown.
Nearly 30 years after the Disney Channel Original Movie premiered, the star—who portrayed Marnie Piper in the first three Halloweentown films—reflected on the possibility of a fifth installment in the series and what she’d want to see onscreen.
"I think there are so many possibilities for stories," Kimberly told E! News in an exclusive interview. "Marnie would be teaching a new generation of witches or running for mayor. I feel like she would still be passionately involved in her community and bringing everybody together because that's what she loved doing."
You can also expect to see the eldest Piper fighting bad guys in her spare time, too. And although Kimberly tied the knot with Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge costar Daniel Kountz—who played villain and heartthrob Kal Jr.—in March, she doesn't think Marnie would follow in her footsteps.
"It's interesting thinking about Marnie falling in love with Kal," she continued. "I think it would take some kind of large, magical miracle for Marnie to fall in love with Kal. He's the family's arch-nemesis. I don't know if that could happen on screen."
The 39-year-old has been clear that she's ready to put on her purple robe adorned with stars whenever, but might need some help from beloved fans of the movies.
"We would all love to do another one," she emphasized. "Disney knows I'm down to do another one. I've been telling fans to tell Disney that they would watch it if it came out. The ball is in Disney's court."
Because even though it's been three decades since Marnie first found herself in Halloweentown with her brother Dylan (Joey Zimmerman), sister Sophie (Emily Roeske) and Grandma Aggie (Debbie Reynolds), Kimberly believes there's a reason the movies have stood the test of time.
"Beyond the supernatural and magical aspect of Halloweentown, the core family and the characters were all going through things that were very relatable," she reflected. "Even though Marnie was finding out she was a witch at 13, she was still trying to figure out who she was and what she wanted in life."
"I certainly related to her very much in that aspect and admired her determination and perseverance to blaze a trail and move forward," she added. "It encapsulates all of those things and it's still my favorite after all these years."
The Halloween movie also fueled Kimberly's love for the spooky season, so it's no surprise she partnered with McAlister's Deli for their Halloween-inspired lemonade and cookie.
"I look forward to it even more now because over the years, in the journey of the Halloweentown movies, the fans have always been a huge part of it," she said. "We were just supposed to do one movie, and the fans loved it so much that we got to do more."
While reflecting on the film's legacy, Kimberly noted that she'll always be grateful for the support of fans.
"I love talking about these characters in the movies and what they meant to others," she shared. "But I don't know that people truly understand how much receiving that love from the fans over the years has truly made an impact on my life, too. I love that we get to all share in the Halloween celebration."
