Family Movie Matinee – Saturday, 10/18 at 11:00am

The Halloweentown movie poster. At the foreground at the bottom of the image is a jack-o-lantern on a pedestal. Behind the jack-o-lantern is a purple brick building stretching across the length of the image that says "City Hall" on it above where the doors would be (though the actual doors are obscured by the pumpkin in the foreground). The sky is purple with pink clouds. In the sky at about the center of the image, it says the movie's title, "Halloweentown" in orange text. The first "o" in the title is a jack-o-lantern. Above the title text, there are three children. The leftmost child is a 12-year-old boy with dark brown hair and round glasses. The girl to the right of him has her hand around his shoulder. She looks about a year older than him, and has long dark brown hair that she's wearing in a ponytail. She has a long beaded necklace with some kind of circular pendant attached. To the right of the older girl, there's a girl that looks younger than both other children, at about 6 years old. She also has dark brown hair in a ponytail. The older girl has her other arm around the younger girl's shoulder as well. In the top left, there is a blonde witch riding a broomstick in the air. She is waving and smiling at the children. In response, all three children are looking back at her with curious expressions. In the top right, the moon, which is blue, peeks out of the corner of the image.
