Kimberly J. Brown, known for her role as Marnie Piper in the Disney Channel movie Halloweentown, recently opened up about her improved relationship with her ‘Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge’ costar Daniel Kountz. The couple got married earlier this year and couldn’t be happier. Brown shared that their relationship has gotten even better since tying the knot.
Despite having been together for quite some time and reconnecting in 2016, Brown and Kountz still find it amusing that people are just discovering they are a couple in real life. They starred in the 2001 movie ‘Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge’ together, where their characters had a special bond. Brown expressed her love for the relationship they have with fans and how special it is to be a part of something that has become a tradition for many families.
Reflecting on her time playing Marnie Piper, Brown shared that it was a huge honor to be a part of the Halloweentown series. She celebrated the 25th anniversary of the first movie last year and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to play such a beloved character. Brown often attends Comic Cons and enjoys meeting fans who have made Halloweentown a part of their traditions.
Being a part of the Disney Channel world allowed Brown to play in a space where creative characters and relatable stories were the norm. She appreciated the opportunity to portray a teenage witch like Marnie, who was navigating supernatural challenges while also dealing with typical teenage struggles. Brown highlighted the positive impact Disney Channel had on kids, providing a place for them to watch engaging and entertaining content.
Given Brown’s love for Halloween, it was a natural fit for her to partner with McAlister’s Deli to launch the limited-edition Witch’s Brew and Trick-or-Treat Cookie. The Witch’s Brew, a popular item from last year, is a refreshing lemonade with a caramel apple twist, while the Trick-or-Treat Cookie is a festive treat perfect for the season. Brown expressed excitement about collaborating with McAlister’s Deli, a brand that values inclusivity and hospitality, much like the spirit of Halloween.
Overall, Kimberly J. Brown’s journey from starring in Halloweentown to forming a real-life connection with her costar Daniel Kountz reflects the magic and joy of the Halloween season.
