Disney's Halloweentown is a classic film that has all the buzz around Spooky Season, and it's actually a real place in St. Helens, Oregon where you can visit.

It's called The Spirit of Halloweentown and has everything that will remind you of the movie set, from City Hall with the large pumpkin outside to the skeleton driving the taxi cab!

The classic was recorded in the city in 1998 and every year the town decorates the Riverfront District as if it never disappeared, giving millennials who visit all the nostalgic vibes.

A TikTok creator relayed her experience in a video published on the app on October 9 and received 669.4K views with tons of viewers flooding the comment section.

One Tiktoker wrote, "my inner child is screaming right now! 🖤"

Others replied to the video saying they had just watched the movie and they can't wait to go and fulfill their childhood dreams.

The woman who uploaded the clip replied to her comments that there is lots to do there, such as food trucks, a couple of bars on the same street, a little haunted house, a costume contest and performers.

This year they have two celebrity guests, Ashley Greene who played Alice Cullen in Twilight and Peter Facinelli who played Dr. Carlisle Cullen in Twilight. The stars will be there on October 29 and October 30, respectively, with paid autographs and photos.
