Disney Channel Halloween House Party
What's the Story?
DISNEY CHANNEL HALLOWEEN HOUSE PARTY is a sketch comedy series featuring Disney stars in skits, musical segments, and advertising spoofs. Hosted by Tobie Windham and featuring the likes of Ramon Reed, Caroline Rhea, and Raphael Alejandro, the seasonal show was filmed remotely in the cast members' respective homes. Skits have fun with Disney franchises like Descendants, incorporate Halloween-themed characters like ghosts, and entertain with family friendly humor.
Is It Any Good?
The production quality of this fun series is such that without forehand knowledge of how it was filmed, you'd never know it was done in pieces with individual cast members. The creators' effort in making it a seamless overlay of individual performances is genuinely impressive and makes for some fun family appropriate viewing. The laughs are clean and relatable and the variety keeps the content unpredictable, making this a show everyone can enjoy together.
Despite the fact that the actors' interactions aren't authentic, they feel enough like they are that that little production secret is a nonissue. It's always fun to see your favorite stars step out of the roles you've come to expect from them and do something different onscreen, and Disney Channel Halloween House Party is no exception. And even if the cast is entirely unfamiliar to you and your kids, this zany show will entertain with its creative and funny skits.
