Synopsis: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloweentown_II:_Kalabar%27s_Revenge)
15-year-old Marnie (Kimberly J. Brown) has just spent 2 years with her grandmother Aggie (Debbie Reynolds). While hosting a mortal neighborhood Halloween party at their house, Marnie tries to impress a cute new boy, Kal (Daniel Kountz),
by showing him Aggie's magically-hidden room. Unbeknownst to Marnie,
Kal is actually the son of Kalabar and takes the opportunity to steal
Aggie's spell book and slip it into his pocket. Soon Aggie notices
unwelcome magical
symptoms. She and Marnie travel to Halloweentown to investigate and to
fix the problem before the portal between Halloweentown and the mortal
world, open only on Halloween, closes at midnight.
They discover that the whole town has been turned into a made-to-match black-and-white world, and that the inhabitants have been turned into dreary, discolored, monotonous humans. The victims include Marnie's goblin friend Luke (Phillip Van Dyke). Aggie diagnoses this as the "Grey Spell." Aggie contacts her grandson Dylan (Joey Zimmerman) back home for a spell from her spell book. Dylan and Sophie (Emily Roeske) discover the book is missing. Marnie and Aggie learn that Kal is actually a warlock
and the son of their enemy Kalabar (from the previous film). They learn
that Kal stole Aggie's spell book to limit her ability to hinder his
attempt to complete his father's revenge on both Halloweentown and the
mortal world. Aggie searches for a spare copy of her spell book at her
house in Halloweentown, but it is missing and she despairs. During a
conversation with Aggie, Marnie inadvertently reverts Luke back to his
goblin form. Unable to explain the spell's reversal, the group soon
believes that it is temporary.
The trio travel to the lair of the well-known junk magnet of the
universe, Gort (Blu Mankuma), who acquires lost items from both realms.
He had been discolored by the Grey Spell and sold most of his junk. The
group is trapped in Gort's house. Aggie loses her color as well and
sorts through socks with Gort. Marnie uses time travel to go back to
Gort's house before the Grey Spell happened. When Marnie and Luke
arrive, they learn that Gort had sold the spare spell book to Kalabar
about 50 years prior. By remembering what things Marnie had been
hastefully saying back when Luke returned to his normal goblin form,
they realize that the Grey Spell can be reverted by saying "Trapa",
which is "Apart" spelled backwards.
Kal, having enspelled Halloweentown into a monochrome caricature of the mortal world, is now at work enspelling the mortal world into a monster movie caricature of Halloweentown. Sophie and Dylan realize that Alex (Peter Wingfield), believed to be Kal's father, is actually a golem intended to distract their mother Gwen (Judith Hoag)
at a high school Halloween party. Kal puts his spell into effect,
turning the party guests into the monsters they are dressed as,
resulting in chaos. Dylan and Sophie hide from the monster humans
including their mother.
Marnie frees Aggie, but they are too late as the portal to the mortal
world closes, trapping them in Halloweentown. Marnie refuses to accept
they are locked in. She contacts her siblings and they create a new
spell that forces the portal between Halloweentown and the mortal world
to reopen permanently. Kal angrily confronts Marnie, who mocks him and
demands the spell book. Kal produces slimy living serpent vines
of dark magic and uses them to take both spell books in an attempt to
prove his own superiority, which fails when Marnie takes them from him.
Kal is sent away by the vines and the family breaks his spells in the
mortal world and in Halloweentown.
