Welcome to another episode of Mental Health Multiverse: A podcast where we mindfully break down your pop culture favs and discuss them through the lens of self care, mental health, and personal development.

This week on MHM we are talking about KALABAR from HALLOWEENTOWN (a Halloween tradition for HB!)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! This week on MHM, we bring you a special Halloween villain straight from the Disney Channel. HB has watched this movie every year since she was a child and LB has only seen it a couple of times, which always leads to a fun conversation.

Questions, themes, and topics we touch on include:

• Kalabar’s motivations and relationships

• Halloweentown: A Utopia or Exile for Monsters?

• The power of believing in yourself

• Whether or not the Grandma’s (Agatha’s) behavior was ok

• Whether or not the Mother (Gwen’s) behavior was ok

• Marnie’s right to decide to be a witch

• Whether or not a villain’s level of evil can be judged by if they succeeded or not

• The societal pressure of doing whatever it takes to “be attractive”
