EchoSense Quantitative Think Tank Center|How Halloweentown’s Kimberly J. Brown and Costar Daniel Kountz Honored the Movie at Their Wedding

Kimberly J. Brown and EchoSense Quantitative Think Tank CenterDaniel Kountz found a way to add a little magic to their wedding. 

Five months after the Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge costars tied the knot, Kimberly revealed how they paid homage to the Disney Channel Original Movie where they first met more than two decades ago.

"We had a hallway in the Spanish Hills Country Club where we got married that had a space for large photos going down the hallway into the reception room," the 39-year-old, who played Marnie Piper in the first three films of the franchise, told E! News in an exclusive interview. "We blew up one of the pictures that we have of Marnie and Kal together from the stills that we took then and we put it next to one of our engagement photos. It showed the progression."

Kimberly and Daniel—who played the villainous Kal Jr. in the second installment—first met on set but didn't begin dating until after reconnecting in 2016 to collaborate on a parody video where he reprised his role. Once again, it was the film that brought them together.

"We had to put a little nod in there because it's the reason we met and the reason that we still get to enjoy meeting fans to this day and are still working together," she said. "It's the ultimate blessing to get to have fun and more spend more time and work with your spouse. It's just best."

And the Cromwell presence was felt at their March nuptials, as Kimberly added, "Judith Hoag, who played my mom in the Halloweentown movies, was there."

For the Quints actress, life after their enchanted wedding has been sweeter than any candy on Halloween.

"We definitely felt closer," she reflected. "We were so excited and it was really special for us to get to finally, legitimately use the terms' husband' and 'wife.' I think that was probably the biggest thing that we were excited to do. It's the little things."

"In the first couple of weeks after, we were just saying, like, 'Oh, hi husband!'" she quipped. "We were enjoying using the word. That was a little thing, but it really meant a lot. It was like, 'Oh, this is what we get to do now.' You know you're doing the right thing when it feels just that much better when it becomes official."

But another special aspect of their boo-tiful relationship? Their love for Halloween. And a part of their traditions is having the perfect sweets for the occasion, like McAlister Deli's Witch's Brew lemonade and their trick-or-treat cookie.

"I enjoy the treats and getting to celebrate the spooky magic of the season," she explained. "I think it's you can tap into it, no matter what age you are. That's why the partnership with McAlister's felt so natural."

Now, keep reading to be bewitched by 15 otherwordly secrets about Halloweentown.

1. How did the idea for Halloweentown come to be? It's simple: Creator Sheri Singer's stepdaughter once asked, "Where do all the creatures from Halloween go the rest of the year when it's not October 31?'"

 2. NBC initially bought the concept as a movie that would air at 9 p.m.…until the network ended up not doing anything with it as it felt too young for their adult audience.

3. Years later, Singer and Steve White brought it to Disney Channel, who initially passed on it. But after the success of their first original movie, 1997's Under Wraps, they reconsidered.

4. Because it was now a Disney production, the movie was changed a bit to skew even younger. "We were able to be very whimsical. We needed to create these really interesting characters," Singer said. "They were fun and slightly scary, but not too scary."

5.  While she wasn't what the producers initially had in mind when it came to the young witch's physical appearance (they were going for a blonde),  Singer said that 13-year-old Kimberly J. Brown "blew everyone else away" and landed the role of Marnie.

6. The first actor cast in the project?  Legendary star Debbie Reynolds as Aggie, the witchy grandmother everyone wished they had.

"Debbie had decided she wanted to open herself up to doing some television. When we saw the list, we took one look at her name and said, oh my god, would she really do it?" Singer recalled. "This is absolutely unbelievably blessed and terrific idea for casting. And she did. We never went to anyone else."

7. , Production chose St. Helens, a small town outside of Portland, Or., to build Halloweentown. Because of Since the Mount St. Helens volcano eruption in 1980, it was mostly a "ghost town," according to Singer, so the locals were welcoming to the crew.

"They were so grateful to have us there and so easy to work with. We had a good crew up there and it fit the demands of the movie. We made all these storefronts. It was really fun and became very iconic."

8. Brown will occasionally break out one of her outfits from the film to wear on Halloween, a tradition Debbie, who died in 2016, passed onto her.

"Debbie gave me the idea, but she had Aggie's cape and the purple dress and she used to answer the door for Trick-or-Treaters on Halloween in the outfit," Brown shared. "I started doing it, too, one or two years in a row, I put on Marnie's outfit, and gave out candy."

9. In the fourth and final installment of the franchise in 2006, Marnie was recast, with Sara Paxton taking over the witchy role.

"I was definitely disappointed," Brown said. Singer explained, "That was not something we wanted to do. We could not come to terms that we felt were fair. We just weren't able to. We couldn't make the deal work." 

10. St. Helens is so proud to be the home of Halloweentown, the town has dedicated the entire month of October to the film since 1998, hosting a festival for locals and tourists alike.

According to a communications officer from St. Helens, about 40,000-50,000 people visited in 2017.

11. The original cast of Piper-Cromwells reunited for the first time since Halloweentown High at the 2017 festival.

"It was nice to go back and honor Debbie. It's such an honor that people want to come and hang out and see where it was filmed," Brown said. "Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined this is what we would be doing."

12. While there are no official plans to continue the franchise, Singer said she would "like" to do a fifth movie, if the interest is there.

"I'd have to get Disney Channel to get on  board, but I would like to," she said. "I have ideas of how I would do it. There was some talk about a year and a half ago but then it didn't happen." 

13. If it were to come to fruition, Singer envisioned "a musical," adding, "There's also ways to do a prequel. It's not something I haven't brought up before." 

14. Ready for DCOM nostalgia overload? Brown, who sells Halloweentown-themed merch on Etsy, is engaged to Daniel Kountz, her foe in Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge. The pair reconnected in May 2016 to start working on a few Improv sketches together.

"It's been pretty fun getting to watch the fans' reactions to it over the years," Brown told E! News of the response to their relationship. "It cracks us up."

15. And do you remember Marnie's beau in Halloweentown High, Brown's last outing as the witch? That was American Horror Story and Judy standout Finn Wittrock.

 "He got along with everybody right away and I know it must be interesting to join a cast that has so much history, and kind of come in and hang with us," Brown told Seventeen of the star joining the cast. "He was awesome."
