Halloweentown’s Kimberly J. Brown Reveals Where Marnie Is Today

Kimberly J. Brown knows that being normal was always vastly overrated for Marnie Piper.
Nearly three decades after the first Halloweentown movie was released on Disney Channel, the actress shared where she believes the Cromwell witch would be today—and it's true to who she always was.
"Marnie would still be in some type of leadership position in Halloweentown," Kimberly told E! News in an exclusive interview. "She always loved pushing for progress and everybody getting along—the worlds getting to hang out together and there not being such a divide."
"She would be teaching a new generation of witches or running for mayor," she continued. "I feel like she would still be passionately involved in her community and bringing everybody together because that's what she loved doing—and also fighting some bad guys."
As the 39-year-old—who played Marnie in the first three installments—quipped, "But that was just her side job."
After all, saving a town from various villains while attempting to create harmony between monsters and humans takes a lot of dedication and love.
The Quints actress also noted that fans want to see Marnie and Kal Jr. from Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge together in the future. And it's not necessarily a surprise since her now-husband Daniel Kountz played the antagonist heartthrob. However, Kimberly isn't completely sold on the idea.
"It's interesting thinking about Marnie falling in love with Kal," she pondered. "I don't know. 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 onscreen."
But whether she ever revisits the Halloweentown films, they were instrumental in solidifying her love for the holiday.
"It's a testament to the stories," she reflected. "They have stood the test of time because they're about family and love and celebration. I think there's something about the Halloween season that certainly has fed my inner child over the years. I'm so honored to be a part of something that brings that joy to people now because we all need that."
"Being an adult is hard enough," she continued. "We need that inner child and those memories."
And that's why she partnered with McAlister's Deli for their Halloween-inspired cookie and Witch's Brew lemonade.
"I enjoy the treats and getting to celebrate the spooky magic of the season," she said. "I think it's you can tap into it, no matter what age you are."
