It is #MovieNightFriday in October and it is also my dad aka Pop Pop’s birthday. Today we are are having a weekend’s worth of fun. We choose Halloween Town for the spirit. It is a classic Disney Movie Channel Movie Franchise and we absolutely love it. Besides menu and crafts you can find below, we talked about the history of Halloween or Samhain. We also talked about the history of monsters. We didn’t do much geographically. Halloween Town was filmed in Oregon, which you can learn about in the video below.
